ONE Fight Night 40 MMA Results: Hu, Tynan, Lee Score Emphatic First-Round Stoppages

Key Highlights

• Once the action hit the canvas, however, “Wolf Warrior” seized control and pinned Kingad into the corner of the ring.
• Then, the 30-year-old from Sunkin International Fight Club unleashed a vicious set of knees to the Filipino’s head, forcing “The King” to shell up defensively. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementHu transitioned seamlessly from knees to punches and soon, he was throwing hammer fists.
• The shots started to get through the former ONE Flyweight MMA World Title challenger’s guard, leaving the referee no choice but to wave off the contest. With the win, Hu earned his 14th career victory, spoiled Kingad’s comeback, and inched closer to a crack at divisional kingpin Yuya Wakamatsu‘s ONE Flyweight MMA World Championship. Tynan Dominates Takeuchi, Forces Him To Tap outCanadian powerhouse Ben “Vanilla Thunder” Tynan stepped back into the winner’s circle in highlight-reel fashion, as he submitted Japanese knockout artist “Rising Rock Star” Ryugo Takeuchi with an arm-triangle choke in the opening round of their heavyweight MMA contest.

• The 31-year-old Pokemon master immediately shot for the takedown and slammed fists into Takeuchi’s head, forcing the referee to momentrily pause the action as the Japanese behemoth was nearly cast out of the ring. Once the two were re-positioned in the center of the ring, “Vanilla Thunder” picked up where he left off, dropping down more punishing blows from side control.
• The Canadian then locked in a textbook arm-triangle choke that left Takeuchi no choice but to tap at the 2:07 mark of round one. That quick submission win moved Tynan’s record to 6-1, emphatically answering his close decision loss to Kirill Grishenko last August and proving his grappling prowess remains a nightmare for the heavyweight division’s strikers. Lee Bounces Back With Devastating TKOAfter his first career setback five months ago, teenage sensation Adrian “The Phenom” Lee looked stronger and more dangerous than ever in his highly anticipated return.
