One Quest for Gold

[Setsuna]

Was hoping that essesse was going to give one of his gloriously detailed preview posts but guess that's not going to happen this time.

Main Event : One Light Heavyweight Title Fight :
Aung La N Sang vs. Alexandre Machado

Ev Ting vs. Ariel Sexton
Phoe Thaw vs. Sor Sey
Amir Khan vs. Timofey Nastyukhin
Dae Wan Kim vs. Daichi Takenaka
Saw Min Min vs. Ye Thway Ne
Roel Rosauro vs. Li Kai Wen

Prelims :

Krisna Limbaga vs. Prscilla Gaol
Bozehena Antoniyar vs. Shwe Sin : Bozehena by 1st Rd TKO

Prelims on right now. Definitely skippable, Bozehena took Shwe Sin down, got mount and Shwe tapped pretty much as soon as Bozehena started throwing punches.

The top five fights are all interesting though and a good all-around card.

Olivier Coste just made a terrible call.

Takaneka was on Daw Hwan Kim's back with a rear naked choke sunk in deep when Kim spiked him on his head trying to escape. Takaneka kept the choke but the ref stopped the fight for the illegal spike. Takenaka would have finished him guaranteed if he'd just let the fight continue for a few more seconds.

Edit : Ok, Coste red cards Kim so Takenaka is the winner anyway. Still a pretty anti-climactic way to end the fight but at least they didn't restart the fight. Head-spiking your way out of a submission to get an automatic yellow card/stand-up would have been a terrible precedent to set.

Haven't seen it, but I presume it looked like this:

 

[Katsumi Yamada]

Great performance by Aung La in the main event, head kick KO in under a minute.

ONE now has two "champ champs"

Sucks Ataides - Bigdash did not happen yet so we know who is next for certain for Aung back at MW
