Figured that ground game would be to much.
Canarte was on fire before he came to ONE.

 

[aerius]

Mongolian caveman takes another arm home with him. That slo-mo was painful to watch.

 

[STAY GOLD]

Canarte was on fire before he came to ONE.

Yeah, he benefited from UWC’s matchmaking. It’s sad seeing how his fights in ONE turn out the way they have turned out.

 

[EndlessCritic]

[EndlessCritic]

[EndlessCritic]

zakirov's hands are fucking good. clear round 2 for zakirov. wada needs to bring back those low kicks.

 

[aerius]

It's like everyone forgot they're in ONE. Knees to the head of downed fighters are legal, use them damnit!
