Forgive Carlo
Bumina-ang if he gives off runaway freight train vibes in the
ONE
Championship bantamweight division.
The 29-year-old unbeaten Team Lakay MMA prospect on Friday choked
Zhipeng
Xie unconscious with an arm-triangle in the first round of
their
ONE Friday Fights 50 showcase at historic Lumpinee Boxing
Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. Xie (3-1, 0-1 ONE) lost his grip on
reality 1:29 into Round 1.

Bumina-ang (4-0, 4-0 ONE) was off to the proverbial races after he
decked the Sunkin International Fight Club rep with a counter right
hand inside the first 10 seconds. Xie staggered back to a standing
position after being threatened with a guillotine, only to be
dropped a second time with a clean left hook. Bumina-ang took top
position with heavy ground-and-pound—elbows, knees and
standing-to-ground punches worked together in perfect harmony—and
framed the fight-ending choke. Squeeze and technique did the
rest.
Meanwhile, Raqobat prospect Avazbek
Kholmirzaev dazzled in his promotional debut, as he put away
Leandro
Gomes with a guillotine choke in the first round of their
flyweight affair. Gomes (5-2, 1-1 ONE) conceded defeat 4:40 into
Round 1, suffering his first setback since May 2021.
Kholmirzaev (5-1, 1-0 ONE) withstood a few takedowns from his
Portuguese counterpart, jockeyed effectively in the clinch and
waited for an opportunity to present itself. He rolled into top
position after being grounded with roughly a minute to go in the
first round, caught the guillotine and moved to mount. It soon
became clear there was no escape for the bottled-up Gomes.
The 23-year-old Kholmirzaev has rattled off four straight wins, all
of them finishes.
