Igor Svirid extended his win streak to ten with the biggest victory of his career at ONE FC: Battle of Lions , stopping Leandro Ataides after just 17 seconds to become the organization’s inaugural 185-pound champion.

Moreira used front kicks and low kicks to good effect in a fight that was fought almost exclusively standing up
