Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: The largest sports media property in Asian history, ONE Championship?

In the Malaysia Warrior Bout main event, an exhausted Ev Ting pulled out a gutsy victory over Eric ?The Natural? Kelly of the Philippines, winning by submission in round three. Ting dominated the striking exchanges throughout the bout, blasting Kelly with various combinations. Kelly spent most of his time defending against Ting?s aggression, biding his time and pacing himself for a distance finish. In the third, Ting latched on a standing Guillotine that transitioned into a mounted Guillotine, leaving Kelly no choice but to tap out. ?Marat Gafurov I?m coming for you, where is that belt at?? said Ting, looking for a shot at the ONE Featherweight World Championship. ?With the new weight cut policy I wanna fight as much as I can and fight full time to feed my family. I want to fight Marat Gafurov. The fight was harder than I expected. I didn't know he could take so much hits. I respect Kelly as a fighter and it was a great fight,? Ting added. Eduard ?Landslide? Folayang of Baguio City, Philippines showcased Team Lakay?s famous Wushu base by dominating opponent Tetsuya Yamada of Japan over three rounds. Folayang completely shut down Yamada, keeping the Japanese fighter at the long end of his straight right hand and occasional spinning back kick. Folayang also landed various flush shots and stuffed numerous takedowns to earn the unanimous decision victory. Former American freestyle wrestler Jake Butler returned to action against mixed martial arts veteran Tatsuya Mizuno to win by first round stoppage.

From there, Butler unleashed a series of elbows from top position, finishing Mizuno with only a few seconds remaining in the first round. Geje ?Gravity? Eustaquio scored an electrifying first round knockout over Malaysia?s Saiful ?The Vampire? Merican. After a brief moment where both fighters took the time to size each other up, Merican lunged in looking to put together a combination but Eustaquio took a step back and unleashed a counter left hook as Merican was coming in. With Merican face down on the mat, the referee stopped the bout after a technical ground kick landed for good measure. Samir Mrabet of Brussels, Belgium remained unbeaten in a second-round submission victory over Sami Amin of Cairo, Egypt. Mrabet controlled the action on the ground, grinding away against Amin who tried his best to defend. The end came when Mrabet secured mount and worked on the Head and Arm Choke to seal the deal. ?I?m blown away by the support I get from this new family that I?ve made in Malaysia. It really humbles me,? said Mrabet. Keanu Subba and Rayner Kinsiong brought some local flavor into the mix with an all-Malaysian lightweight bout. After a brief exchange of strikes, Subba dumped Kinsiong to the mat via an outside leg trip. From top position, Subba landed a plethora of downward punches as the referee intervened to stop the bout. ?I saw my opportunity and took him down, and capitalized on that. That was the plan, to take him down and land some big shots,? said Subba. Former Pankration world champion, Christian ?The Warrior? Lee made quick work of Egypt?s Mahmoud Mohamed, continuing his fast rise through the featherweight ranks with a crafty submission victory. Lee swarmed Mohamed with lightning quick punches from the opening bell.

Thani of Malaysia and James Kouame of Canada induced a stream of cheers from the Kuala Lumpur crowd with their intense middleweight matchup. Thani impressed with various successful takedowns throughout the bout. In round two, after a slam led to full mount, Thani worked on ground-and-pound before seizing the opportunity for a fight-ending Rear Naked Choke. Saygid 'Dagi' Guseyn Arslanaliev impressed fans in his ONE Championship debut with an all-out, aggressive style, taking care of business against Jakarta, Indonesia's Mishal Alfad in just under a minute. 'Dagi' put on a showcase of powerful strikes and emphatic slams and after a Suplex put Alfad on his back, 'Dagi' went straight for the ground-and-pound to force the referee stoppage.
