Submissions were the name of the game Friday at ONE Championship 40: Union of Warriors, as both the main and co-main events ended in the first round with tapouts.
In the headline bout from the Thuwanna Indoor Stadium in Yangon, Myanmar, Aung La N Sang locked up a guillotine choke on Mohamed Ali. Sang, a native of Myanmar, sent the crowd home happy with the first round win.
Adriano Moraes, a former ONE champion, positioned himself nicely for a rematch for the title by securing a brabo choke on Eugene Toquero. That stoppage came with seven seconds left in the opening round.
Highly-touted prospect Christian Lee scored a TKO victory in the first round vs. Anthony Engelen, while Edward Kelly picked up a first round submission vs. Jordan Lucas.
