MANILA<\/strong> \u2014 Jomary Torres’ blistering run at One Championship continued on Friday night as she defeated Indonesian opponent Nita Dea at One: Hero’s Dream at the Thuwanna Indoor Stadium in Yangon.<\/p>\n

Torres’ striking prowess proved to be enough even as she also turned back Dea at the latter’s own game, getting some successful ground-and-pound opportunities en route to the unanimous decision win.<\/p>\n

However, her fellow Filipino fighters failed to pick up from where she left off.<\/p>\n

Burn Soriano failed to sustain a scintillating first round as China’s Chen Lei got a second wind in Round 2 and kept him at bay via ground-and-pound, forcing the referee to give Chen the TKO win at the 1:06 mark of the second frame.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Thai fighter Pongsiri Mitsatit’s strikes proved to be too much for Jeremy Miado as the latter verbally conceded at the 4:23 mark of the second round of their clash.<\/p>\n

Also, Eugene Toquero’s comeback fight ended in a late first round disaster as Chinese pugilist Ma Hao Bin got an armbar grapple that forced him to tap out with only nine seconds left in the said period.<\/p>\n

In the main event, reigning One middleweight champ Aung La N Sang proved that someone from a lighter division can impressively beat a heavier opponent as he submitted heavyweight fighter Alain Ngalani in the first-ever “open weight super fight”.<\/p>\n

A guillotine choke with barely 30 seconds left in the first round of the match turned out to be the deciding factor as N Sang scored arguably the biggest win of his career.\u00a0(PNA)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
