Heng vs. Samang
Dun
Round 1
Heng with a double-leg takedown, as he slams Dun to the ground but
has to defend a guillotine attempt. It looks deep but he powers
out. Dun reverses the position and Heng throws up his legs looking
for an armbar. After a few seconds Dun pulls his arm free and then
throws a couple of punches from the standing position to the head
of his grounded opponent, which is enough to finish the
fight.
Round 1
Meu lands a straight knee, followed by an overhand right and then
wraps his hands around the body of the much taller Heng and flings
him to the ground. Heng attempts a guillotine but Meu bursts out
and maneuvers him up against the cage only for Heng to wrap his
long legs around and lock in a triangle. It looks deep but Meu
explodes into action with ground and pound and Heng lets it go. Meu
moves into mount and Heng tries unsuccessfully to buck him off
before eating some hard elbows, one of which opens up a nasty
looking cut. Heng is getting busted up and he gives up his back,
allowing Meu to sink in a rear-naked choke which forces the
tap.
Round 1
Khan lands a left hook, which hurts Chee and follows up with a
flurry of pinches. Chee weathers the storm. Khan fakes a punch and
shoots for a double leg, which he executes perfectly, finishing up
in side control. He moves into mount but Chee escapes and gets back
up. After a brief feeling-out process on the feet, Khan explodes
with a flurry of punches and elbows and Kai collapses to the ground
in visible pain, causing the referee to step in to save him from
further punishment.
Round 1
Rahman goes for a takedown but it's stuffed and he ends up on his
back after a quick scramble with Yen in side control. Rahman
explodes out and they clinch against the cage with the Singaporean
looking for the takedown but unable to complete it. They separate
and there's a lull in the action until Yen catches a kick and
throws Rahman to the ground. He lets him up but tosses him back to
the ground again, only to eat a couple of punches as Rahman gets to
his feet. Thy clinch against the cage again and Yen executes
another toss but Rahman sinks his hooks in, takes his back and
looks close to finishing the fight with a rear-naked choke when the
round ends.
Round 2
Yen lands a one-two combination and easily pushes Rahman to the
ground as the Singaporean attempts a switch kick. Another one-two
combination from Yen hurts Rhaman, who backs off and dives for a
takedown. He can't get Yen down but buys some time by tying him up
and clinching against the cage. Yen lands a right hand, which
Rahman wears well as the pace slows with both men reluctant to
engage, but when Yen fires punches they inevitably find their
target. Rahman is getting picked apart in the striking exchanges,
but never looks badly hurt despite being repeatedly tagged.
Round 3
Yen lands a hard low kick and a couple of wild punches. He tries
another low kick and Rahman counters with a well-timed jab. Rahman
tries a head kick but Yen catches it and pushes him down, allows
him back up only to take him down again with a clever trip. Yen
elects to get up and walks away and is looking increasingly
confident with very little offense coming from Rahman. The pace is
slow and the referee asks for more action. Yen responds with a a
well-executed hip toss which lands him in half guard but there's no
action and the referee stands them up with a minute remaining. Yen
knows he's ahead and seals the deal with another eye-catching trip.
The fight finishes with Rahman on his back and Yen in side control.
James Goyder has Sung Ming Yen winning a clear cut decision.
The Official Result
Ming Yen Sung Def. Radeem Rahman Decision R3 5:00
Round 1
Chau switching stances, he gets clipped with a right hook and
promptly taken down by Lepont, who gets up and attempts a soccer
kick. Chau tries for an armbar, but Lepont stomps on his head and
he's badly hurt. The fight is paused and Lepont is extremely
apologetic but Chau is taking a long time to recover and still
looks groggy, but he eventually gets to his feet and Lepont is
yellow carded before the fight recommences. They clinch and Lepont
lands some knees and then knocks Chau onto his back, going to work
with ground and pound. The referee is giving Chau every chance to
recover but he's turtled up and taking serious punishment from the
fists and elbows of Lepont so he has no option but to call a stop
to the contest.
The Official Result
Arnaud Lepont Def. Suasday Chau TKO (Punches and Elbows) R1
Round 1
Samang Dun gets a body clinch and uses it to execute a trip,
landing in mount with Rothana trapped against the cage. Dun rolls
for a leg lock but gives it up quickly and stands up, only for
Rothana to reciprocate with an unsuccessful leg lock attempt of his
own. There's a scramble and Dun takes Rothana's back but he's too
high and Rothana escapes and ends up in top position, moving from
side control into mount. They stand up and exchange right hands
before Rothana bullrushes Dun and puts him on his back, escaping a
guillotine attempt and landing some hammer fists and a soccer kick
which narrowly misses followed by an axe kick to the head of his
grounded opponent which causes the referee to call a time out and
pause the action. Stomps to the head of a grounded opponent are
illegal under One FC rules. Dun is unable to recover and therefore
wins the fight, and the tournament, as his opponent is
disqualified.

Round 1
Moraes with a high kick which is blocked; the Filipino is on his
front foot but is struggling to find his range due to his
opponent's constant lateral movement. Midway through the round
Moraes shoots for a single leg but Eustaquoi shakes him off and
lands some knees to the legs of the Brazilian's from the clinch
which don't have much affect. A very uneventful opening round.
Round 2
Both fighters exchange wild punches in the best action of the fight
so far and Moraes seems to get the better of the exchange, driving
Eustaquio backwards. Moraes lands two hard right hands in quick
succession and Eustaquio appears to be on wobbly legs but the
Brazilian immediately drops for a takedown and dumps him on his
back, jumping for a guillotine as Eustaquio tries to get up.
Eustaquio taps.
