Malaysian atomweight Jihin "Shadow Cat" Radzuan is also on a two-fight win streak after earning a unanimous decision over late replacement Mei "V.V" Yamaguchi.

Woo Sung Hoon needed just 18 seconds in his ONE debut to finish Yodkaikaew "Y2K" Fairtex. The South Korean landed a crushing right hand that turned off the lights for the Thai flyweight.

Opening the main card was a knockout win by "Mini T" Danial Williams, who landed a body shot to send Dejdamrong Sor Amnuaysirichoke on the canvas in the second round.
