MMA: Bibiano Fernandes submits Kevin Belingon, defends ONE title

ONE Bantamweight World Champion, Bibiano 'The Flash' Fernandes retained his title with a first round submission win over Team Lakay’s Kevin 'The Silencer' Belingon at ONE Wujie: Dynasty Of Champions.

The Brazilian nullified his Filipino opponent's supposed striking advantage by going straight for the takedown and utilising his ground skills.

After passing Belingon’s guard and moving into side control, Fernandes worked an armbar attempt into a Kimura, forcing the tap.

In the Changsha Bantamweight Tournament Final bout, Ma Hao Bin quickly locked in a Guillotine choke from against the cage to put opponent Bu Huo You Ga to sleep in just a little over a minute into the first round.

Ma wasted no time in looking for the submission which he used to win in the semi-final bout, squeezing tightly until Bu Huo was out.

With the victory, Ma Hao Bin was crowned Changsha Bantamweight Tournament champion.

Beijing Featherweight Tournament champions Li Kai Wen and Yang Sen showcased their complete martial arts arsenal in a high-level three round battle.

Li stormed out of the gates full of aggression but Yang defended well against the onslaught.

When the fight hit the ground, Yang controlled a lot of the action but Li was able to do some damage of his own.

After three very close rounds, Li earned a hard-fought unanimous decision in an entertaining matchup of tournament champions.

A determined Muin Gafurov went three rounds in an intense back-and-forth battle against the extremely talented Toni 'Dynamite' Tauru of Finland.

Gafurov stayed on top of the action, beating Tauru to the punch on numerous occasions while attempting various submissions on the ground. In the third round, Tauru used his toughness to hang in there with Gafurov but Gafurov was able to gain mount position, raining down punches from the top to force the referee to call a halt to the contest.

Riku Shibuya of Tokyo, Japan dominated Roy 'The Dominator' Doliguez of the Philippines over three rounds to win by unanimous decision.

Shibuya completely outclassed Doliguez both on the feet and on the ground, where he did the most work.

Although Doliguez tagged Shibuya with some crisp body punches, Shibuya took him down at will and did all his damage from top position, earning the unanimous decision verdict.
