CARLO "The Bull" Bumina-ang returned to winning ways in the most impressive fashion.
Coming off a heartbreaking submission loss in his last time inside the ONE Championship ring, the Team Lakay heavy hitter got his mojo back after knocking out the previously unscathed Marcos Aurelio in their bantamweight MMA bout at ONE Fight Night 39, Saturday at the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
The finish came just 50 seconds into the second round, as a booming right hand put the Brazilian out of his misery after the Filipino came out with one of his signature blitzes to start the round.
The win improved Bumina-ang to 9-2 and got him back on the winning track after falling to Elbek Alyshov the last time out.
Bull on Parade
After a close first round where the two fighters basially just processed information, Bumina-ang came alive in the second round as he connected on a body hook to left hook combination which rocked the Brazilian.
Smelling blood, Bumina-ang pounced connecting on a couple of clean left hands as he chased Aurelio around the ring. The finish came when he tagged Aurelio with another left before connecting on the coup-de-grace, a stinging right hook to finish off his foe.
The finish was Bumina-ang's seventh in eight ONE Championship wins, with the knockout being the sixth of his impressive career.
The Team Lakay stud will now be setting his eye on his ascent in the bantamweight division, a weightclass ruled by Mongolian powerhouse Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu.
