Friday’s ONE Championship 73 headliner saw a champion defend her belt, but it’s hard to ignore Shinya Aoki ’s continued wizardry. Before undefeated women’s atomweight chamoion Angela Lee (9-0) made it 2-0 over challenger Mei Yamaguchi (17-11-1) with a unanimous-decision victory in the headliner – and before featherweight titleholder Martin Nguyen (11-2) earned a hard-fought split-decision victory over 19-year-old challenger Christian Lee (9-2) in the co-headliner, Aoki had social media buzzing.

Aoki used a takedown and some slick transitions to ultimately score a victory via first-round arm-triangle choke
