‘Terminator’ beats Heng in Jakarta

CAMBODIA’S Chan Heng lost to home martial arts hero “The Terminator” Sunoto at ONE: Quest for Power in Jakarta on Saturday.

Sunoto brought the Indonesian crowd to its feet with a riveting performance to win by technical knockout just a little under three minutes into the first round.

Sunoto wasted no time in taking the fight to Heng, challenging the khun Khmer practitioner to a striking showdown at the centre of the cage.

Sunoto, however, proved too much for the Cambodian after he gained the mount and unleashed the ground-and-pound.

In the main event of the evening, ONE middleweight champion Vitaly Bigdash of Russia impressed with a great show of strength in a dominant performance over “The Burmese Python” Aung La N Sang of Myanmar.

Throughout the bout, Bigdash kept N Sang at bay with his sharp combinations, while on the mat he connected with multiple elbows.

After five rounds of action, it was a clear win for Bigdash who met very little resistance in outlasting the durable N Sang to remain undefeated and retain the ONE middleweight championship.

In the co-main event of the evening, 27-year-old Martin “The Situ-Asian” Nguyen of Sydney, Australia produced one of the most spectacular finishes of the evening, stopping Japanese MMA veteran Kazunori Yokota with strikes to win by technical knockout just past the midway point of the first round.
