ONE Championship 46 official results: Despite slow start, Luis Santos tops Igor Svirid

BAD MMA News — Sat, 27 Aug 2016 17:36:35 +0000

Former ONE Championship welterweight title challenger Luis Santos got off to a terribly slow start but ultimately turned it on late – and then survived his opponent’s late rally – to score a unanimous-decision win in today’s ONE Championship 46 main event. The event, which streamed as an online pay-per-view in North America, took place at Jakarta Convention Center in Jakarta, Indonesia. Santos (63-9-1) overcame Igor Svirid ’s (10-3) initial unwillingness to engage but used a key third-round takedown – and some much-needed defense in the final minute of the fight – to get the win. The first round was a largely action-free affair, with Svirid circling away from Santos, who was left clapping and taunting to try to get his opponent to engage. The ref then pulled out a yellow card (which results in a 10-percent pay deduction), but he inexplicably issued it to both fighters, which brought about a complaint from Santos, who said he was trying to press the action. The lack of action continued in the second round – even as the ref pleaded for some – from both fighters

Despite a brief scare in the opening seconds of the fight, Ben Askren (13-0) kept his undefeated record intact with a first-round submission of Bakhtiyar Abbasov (11-3) in today’s ONE FC 16 headliner at Singapore Indoor Arena. In the bout, which streamed in North America as an online pay-per-view, Abbasov surprised Askren when he shot for a takedown in the first 10 seconds of the contest. While that’s an impressive feat in itself, the move ultimately led to his demise. Askren, an Olympian and former Bellator MMA welterweight champion, quickly reversed position and began to tee off with a ground-and-pound attack. While Abbasov absorbed a commendable amount of damage, he eventually succumbed to the pressure and submitted to the arm-triangle choke at the 4:21 mark of Round 1. Askren was expected to challenge for the ONE FC welterweight title in his promotional debut, but the fight failed to come to fruition
