One Championship’s latest event ended with not
one but two spectacular knockouts at the Singapore Indoor Stadium
in Singapore.

The One
158 main event showcased a muay Thai clash between Tawanchai
PK.Saenchai and promotional newcomer Niclas Larsen. Tawanchai
proved that his new weight division didn’t affect his usual speed
and accuracy. In the early going, the Thai fighter demonstrated his
polished technique, dropping Larsen in the first 30 seconds. The
Danish contestant survived the referee’s count, but it was fairly
clear that he couldn’t match his opponent’s offensive arsenal. In
the second period, Tawanchai found his rhythm and scored with a
variety of punches, while mixing in occasional body kicks. The end
came after the PK.Saenchai standout reached Larsen with a short
right hook followed by a devastating overhand left, sending the
Danish fighter crashing to the canvas for good this time. The time
of the stoppage came at 1:42 in Round 2.

The co-headliner featured the most significant mixed martial arts
attraction of the card, as Fabricio
Andrade locked horns with Kwon Won Il
in a bantamweight encounter. It took only 62 seconds for Andrade
(8-2, 5-0 One) to solve the puzzle that is the South Korean with an
emphatic knockout. Andrade took a few seconds to measure Il (10-4,
6-4 One) with jabs and body kicks from afar, looking light on his
feet and sharp as he stung and moved out of his adversary’s range.
A minute into their battle, “Wonder Boy” belted Il in the liver
with a picture-perfect kick, one that would make Bas Rutten
celebrate. The effect was immediate, as Il backed down and
collapsed to the canvas, grimacing in pain. Referee Olivier Coste
jumped to save “Pretty Boy” from further damage at 1:02 of the
opening frame.

Elsewhere, Reece
McLaren (15-8, 8-5 One) bounced back on track by submitting
Wei
Xie (16-4, 8-2 One) with a rear-naked choke at 3:42 into Round
1; former One flyweight champion Kairat
Akhmetov (26-2, 7-2 One) outclassed Tatsumitsu
Wada (23-12-2, 1 NC; 4-5 One) to get the nod on all three
scorecards unanimously; Ultimate Fighting Championship alum Guto
Inocente upset Rade Opacic
with a barrage of punches 2:33 into the opening period of their
heavyweight kickboxing affair; former One strawweight titleholder
Alex
Silva (12-7, 11-7 One) submitted Adrian
Mattheis (10-6, 10-6 One) with a nasty heel hook at 3:34 of
Round 1, avenging the second-round knockout defeat he suffered in
March at the hands of the Indonesian.

On the preliminary card, flyweight Gurdarshan
Mangat (17-3, 4-1 One) did enough to outpoint Yodkaikaew
Fairtex (7-5-1, 3-3 One) by a narrow split decision; in a
lightweight kickboxing clash, Constantin Rusu imposed his will over
Marouan Toutouh en route to a unanimous decision victory; Brazilian
jiu-jitsu ace Marcus
Almeida (3-0, 3-0 One) scored his first knockout victory as he
smashed Simon
Carson (2-2, 0-1 One) with punches 2:24 into Round 1; Odie
Delaney (4-0, 2-0 One) forced Mehdi
Barghi (4-4, 0-2 One) to tap to a keylock that halted the
contest at the 2:22 mark of Round 2; Jasur
Mirzamukhamedov (6-0, 1-0 One) took home a narrow split
decision over Duke Didier
(8-2, 0-1 One) in their heavyweight affair; Jennifer
Olsim (6-3, 4-2 One) eked out a split decision over Julie
Mezabarba (9-4-1, 1-2 One) at atomweight; in the card opener,
170-pounder Edson
Marques (10-2, 1-2 One) defeated Kyung Rok
Kim (3-3, 0-1 One) via unanimous decision.
