Carlo "The Bull" Bumina-ang got his first taste of a win streak while part of the ONE Championship main roster after an explosive performance last week.
The Team Lakay stud took his second straight win following his TKO victory over Mauro Mastromarini at ONE Fight Night 30: Krkyklia vs. Knowles last April 5 from inside Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

It was Bumina-ang's eighth win in nine matches, with seven victories coming by finish.
"The Bull" promises he's only beginning to scratch the surface.
"Fans can expect me to keep improving, just keep getting better, a better 'The Bull' with a deeper arsenal in the ring," Bumina-ang said. "They can expect a better grappler and a better striker moving forward."
The consecutive victories have pushed him closer to the division's top five, and he's confident he'll get there soon.
Following two impressive wins, Bumina-ang believes he's just a victory or two away from facing a ranked fighter — something he hopes happens before the end of 2025.
"I think I'm near it already," Bumina-ang said. "Maybe they give me a fight or two, maybe I'll get there. I'm hoping before the year ends I get to move up and face the top five."
If he reaches the rankings, he hopes to see a familiar face welcome him in the top five — Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu.
Bumina-ang lost to the Mongolian fighter in his main roster debut and wants nothing more than a rematch with Baatarkhuu.
"I still have unfinished business with Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu," said Bumina-ang. "He welcomed me in ONE Championship with a loss and I want to face him again. But at the end of the day, it's all up to the promotion."
