MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— Joshua Pacio got back at his tormentor Yoshitaka Naito to become the new One strawweight champion in the main event of One: Conquest of Heroes at the Jakarta Convention Center in Jakarta, Indonesia early Sunday (Philippine Time).<\/p>\n

In their highly-anticipated rematch, Pacio’s strikes got the better of Naito’s ground game this time as the Baguio native won via unanimous decision.<\/p>\n

Naito struggled in finding an opportunity to take Pacio down early on, as the latter’s improved takedown defense kept the former at bay.<\/p>\n

Naito eventually sent the game to the ground in Round 5, but the last-minute ditch came a bit too late as Pacio avenged the only loss of his career to Naito.<\/p>\n

Pacio’s victory has put Team Lakay 2-0 up in the fight card, as Danny Kingad defeated newcomer Yuya Wakamatsu earlier in the card.<\/p>\n

Kingad recovered from an ugly start as his ground game proved pivotal against Wakamatsu en route to a unanimous decision win.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Jomary Torres incurred her first loss in her career after bowing to Prescilla Gaol.<\/p>\n

With the raucous Indonesian crowd cheering for her, Gaol stood tall with her stand-up game as she averted Torres’ takedown attempts in the middle rounds to score a unanimous decision win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
