Promotional newcomer Jarred Brooks stunned no. 5-ranked strawweight contender Lito Adiwang via arm triangle submission after controlling the bout from start to finish in a previously recorded event from the Singapore Indoor Stadium that aired via tape delay on Friday, Nov. 26.
Brooks shot for a takedown almost immediately when the fight began, successfully bringing the action to the mat with a double-leg.
With his back on the canvas, Adiwang tried his best to defend against the American’s top pressure as Brooks advanced his position.
In the second round, Brooks landed two more takedowns, including an emphatic slam, before swiftly transitioning to the fight-ending choke. With his arm trapped and nowhere to go, Adiwang had no choice but to tap out.
Also, former ONE Strawweight World Champion and current no. 4-ranked strawweight contender Alex Silva forced Filipino veteran Rene Catalan to tap out via armbar in the first round of their highly anticipated rematch.
Silva brought Catalan down to the mat after the Filipino star missed with a combination. Once on the ground, the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt cleverly worked his way into the perfect position to secure the bout-ending submission. (ONE Championship) – bny
