Brazilian Luis Santos of Brazil defeated former world champion, Igor Svirid of Kazakhstan by unanimous decision at ONE Championship’s ‘Titles & Titans’ in Jakarta, Indonesia, Saturday night.
Santos overcame a furious rally at the end of the fight by Svirid of Kazakhstan to win by unanimous decision in a three round welterweight contest.
Both fighters started off the bout cautiously in the first two rounds, carefully gauging each other’s range and occasionally unleashing well-placed strikes.
Action picked up in the third round when Santos was able to take Svirid to the mat and work on ground-and-pound.
Towards the end of the bout Svirid had his moments in top control, nearly finishing Santos with a series of powerful blows, but it proved insufficient to earn the judges’ nod.
In another exciting bout, Philippines’ Edward Kelly, outworked a strong and experienced opponent in Dutch-Indonesian mixed martial arts veteran Vincent Latoel.
Kelly needed less than two rounds of a scheduled three to win by devastating knockout in the co-main event.
Latoel and Kelly traded furious strikes with Kelly scoring from his world-class wushu stance while Latoel owned the edge in the clinch.
Within a minute into round two, Latoel missed a combination against the fence and Kelly countered with vicious right hook that dropped him to the canvas.
Meanwhile, Polish fighter Marcin Prachnio scored a highly-impressive victory over American Jake Butler in a clash of top middleweight contenders.
Butler dominated the grappling exchange with his world-class wrestling but Prachnio never relinquished complete control and by the middle of the round, the Polish fighter delivered a knee that effectively ended the bout.
