ONE Championship closed out its U.S. primetime event calendar in style, as ONE Fight Night 38: Andrade vs. Baatarkhuu electrified Bangkok’s iconic Lumpinee Stadium this past Friday, December 5.
There was a little bit of everything at the action-packed event, including highlight-reel knockouts, brilliant submissions, back-and-forth encounters, and historic moments.
Physical: Asia star Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu finished Fabricio Andrade in the headline attraction to claim the ONE Bantamweight MMA World Title. In the process, he became Mongolia’s second MMA World Champion and earned a US$50,000 performance bonus from ONE Championship Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong.
Diogo “Baby Shark” Reis also left Lumpinee Stadium with gold, as the Brazilian overwhelmed Japanese grappler Daiki Yonekura with a slick performance to capture the ONE Flyweight Submission Grappling World Title.
