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.
