With seven stoppages, there was plenty of action at the recent ONE FC: Honor & Glory event, but the most memorable moment of the night came when Singaporean Radeem Rahman scored a dramatic second-round comeback win over Raymond Tan .

The Malaysian appeared to be on the verge of securing what would have been a very unpopular victory, but Rahman came out for the second round like a man possessed and immediately took Tan down and finished him with strikes to send the Singapore Indoor Stadium into a frenzy. No one was more delighted than Rahman, who was fighting for the first time in nearly three years after suffering a series of injury problems. The Singaporean was delighted to claim a second win and prove his critics wrong by beating a bigger and more experienced opponent. “After my first fight, some people said it was an easy fight and I got some criticism because of that, but Raymond is tough and if anyone doubted me before I think I proved them wrong,” he said.
