One Championship's Singapore Yields Action-Packed Collision

By Sharma Devaiah

One Championship has done it again at Kallang, Singapore with six action-full bouts including two title fights in the Light Heavyweight Kickboxing and Bantamweight Muay Thai world championship.

Xie Wei of Sunkin International Fight Club executed powerful striking combinations to knock out Cambodia’s Chan Rothana in the third round of their Flyweight duel Thai Yodkaikaew Fairtex got his hand raised from a split decision over a stunned Tatsumitsu Wada of Japan in their Flyweight collision.

Yusup Saadulaev is still in the winning lane after earning a unanimous win over American Troy Worthen in the Bantamweight bout of the night.

Dagestan’s Marat Gafurov returns to the win column after a split decision win handing Lowen Tynanes his very first loss after a ten-win clean record. Gafurov’s first-round rare-naked choke loss to Iuri Lapicus in February of this year has been the Russian’s shocking loss as he is considered to be one of the submission experts.

Thai power in Muay Thai was on full display as Nong- Gaiyanghadao retains his Bantamweight Muay Thai belt as he sent fellow Thai Rodlek PK. Saenchai MuayThaigym down the canvass in the third round.

European kickboxers dominated the cage in the main event as Romanian Kryklia battled it out with Romanian Andrei Stoica as the two put together an immense exchange of kicks and explosive punches albeit Kryklia proved his might in his first title defense outclassing the latter in a three-minute, five-round Light Heavyweight bout.

One Championship will bring in another set of six explosive bouts on Christmas day, December 25th Friday.
