BAD MMA News — Fri, 12 Apr 2019 02:44:01 +0000

With 76 pro fights under his belt, and an incredible 65 wins, it’s safe to say Luis Santos has been around the block a few times. What Santos doesn’t have on his resume yet is a ONE Championship title, even though he had a crack at one four years ago. It’s something he still has his sights set on. But now 39, the Brazilian also knows the end of his fighting career may be not far down the road. “I plan to keep fighting until I am crowned the ONE champion,” Santos told MMA Junkie. “I also started looking ahead.

ONE Championship 77 results: Zebaztian Kadestam gets vicious third-round TKO over game Agilan Thani

BAD MMA News — Fri, 13 Jul 2018 17:47:08 +0000

ONE Championship 77’s headliner was a tough one to call heading into its final round, but when the time came to pull trigger, Zebaztian Kadestam did so in beautifully violent fashion. After stuffing takedowns and eating some of Agilan Thani ’s (8-2) best offense in the welterweight bout at at Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Kadestam (10-4) was a man possessed coming into the third round. Punches, knees, and elbows made for a pick-your-poison-type ending as the ref, mercifully, stepped in at the 1:56 mark of the round (via Twitter ): Cold blooded finish by Zebaztian Kadestam against Agilan Thani. The knees, the elbows, “The Bandit” put on a show in this one. #ONEPursuitofPower pic.twitter.com/Z4YNdET8ko — caposa (@Grabaka_Hitman) July 13, 2018 It was an exciting ending to an overall entertaining back-and-forth bout, made all the more impressive by Kadestam’s revelation that he had sustained a broken hand in the first round. The 27-year-old Swedish striker has now rebounded from a loss to now-retired champion Ben Askren.

ONE Championship 55 highlights: Should knees to head of downed opponent be legal?

BAD MMA News — Sat, 27 May 2017 16:02:38 +0000

Filed under: Featured Videos , News , Videos Unlike most major MMA promotions, ONE Championship allows fighters to use knees to the head of a downed opponent. But is that a good thing? By its very nature, MMA is always going to be a violent sport. But when the controversial strikes are allowed, you can get some brutal finishes – and a quick momentum change in a fight – as we saw at Friday’s ONE Championship 55 event.

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
