SINGAPORE: It was a night of victories for Singapore’s MMA fighters on show at ONE: Immortal Pursuit at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Friday (Nov 24). Strong wins by men’s Lightweight challenger Amir Khan, as well as by women’s strawweight fighters Tiffany “No Chill” Teo and “Mighty” May Ooi made it a sweep of three triumphs in a row at the ONE Championship event.

On a high after winning her One Championship women’s straw-weight bout against India’s Puja Tomar at the Singapore Indoor Stadium last night, local hope Tiffany Teo declared herself ready to hit the summit by fighting for the vacant women’s title in that division.

At One Championship’s Immortal Pursuit event last night, local mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Amir Khan strode to the ring accompanied by The Weeknd’s hit song “Starboy”. The tune was apt, as he went on to cap a splendid night for Singapore’s MMA exponents at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, by beating Australia’s Adrian Pang via unanimous decision. Amir’s win meant that all three Singaporean fighters on the Immortal Pursuit fight card ended their bouts with the Republic’s flag draped over their shoulders in victory.

Don’t talk to Alain “The Panther” Ngalani about age. Or the ravages time might inflict. Or even about making way for the next generation of fighters.

Team Lakay flyweight Danny Kingad may only be 21-years old, but his journey has been quite the long one. From his beginnings as a humble roadside fruit vendor, to a time when he was lost in partying and vices, ‘The King’ is now an unbeaten world-class mixed martial artist who’s on the cusp of world championship gold.

Having also dominated the UFC in Asia when it comes to event attendance and viewership, ONE is now bracing itself for the biggest month in the history of the promotion with three mega events taking place in three different countries in November.

EXPRESSED disappointment over the cancellations of a supposed fight earlier this year, Filipino mixed martial arts fighter Danny “The King” Kingad has his patience rewarded before 2017 comes to a close as ONE Championship decided to give him a shot at the world flyweight title in November.
