BANGKOK, THAILAND - Jhanlo Sangiao absorbed the first blemish to his erstwhile immaculate record, falling to Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu at One Fight Night 13: Allazov vs. Grigorian on Aug. 5
The 21-year-old prodigy got tagged with a brutal right elbow to start the second round before the Mongolian bantamweight methodically went to work with his right arm before forcing the tap at the 2:53 mark.
It was a tough finish for Sangiao who immediately imposed his presence with his array of strikes, bloodying Baatarkhuu’s right eye at the fight’s onset.
Yet the veteran Baatarkhuu was just relentless, keeping up on the stand up and repeatedly attempted to secure the submission targeting Sangiao’s right arm before finally securing the submission victory in round two.
Baatarkhuu, though, still gave credit where credit is due and praised Sangiao’s ferocity, saying “I wish him the best. He’s a promising young athlete.”
Nonetheless, Sangiao slipped to 6-1 in his young MMA career as he looks to learn from this first setback.
He also becomes the second Team Lakay fighter to fall to Baatarkhuu after stablemate Adonis Sevilleno suffered a unanimous decision loss at ONE Fight Night 13 last April.
Team Lakay’s Carlo Bumina-ang Demolishes Iranian Foe
Meanwhile, Carlo Von Bumina-ang wasted no time in showing what he’s truly made of after dispatching Reza Saedi less than a minute in his debut at ONE Friday Fights 27 last August 4 inside Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Bumina-ang, a multi-medalled SEA Games athlete over the past two editions, had a seamless return to mixed martial arts, needing only 52 seconds to finish off the Iranian wrestler thanks to his lethal striking.
A booming left straight rocked Saedi and the moment Bumina-ang smelled blood, he followed it up with a barrage of straights, uppercuts and knees, forcing referee Herb Dean to mercifully stop the fight.
“This feels so good. It’s my first time here, and the people here are so nice, I’m so grateful I pulled it off and got the KO win, I’m so happy,” an excited Bumina-ang told commentator Gianni Subba.
“It took me five years to get here and it truly feels great.”
