ONE 161 took place at the Singapore Indoor Stadium today, September 29th in Singapore.

In the heavyweight battle, Oumar ‘Reug Reug’ Kane (4-1 MMA) defeated Batradz ‘Cannibal’ Gazzaev (3-1 MMA) via TKO (ground n’ pound) at 2:15 of round two.

Round one saw Gazzaev shooting for a takedown early in the match, with ‘Reug Reug’ defending then reversing his opponent against the fence. Kane managed several heavy shots while Gazzaev went in for a takedown again, landing it this time only for Kane to get back up. Kane launched a head kick which was blocked; Gazzaev would launch a left, but it was ‘Reug Reug’ mixing things up, adding in a leg kick and forcing the Russian to retreat.

Round two saw a feverous exchange with Gazzaev shooting for a takedown again but failed and ‘Reug Reug’ dropped a number of hammer fists.  In the end Gazzaev refused to let go of the leg as Kane moved to mount after his opponent turned to his back. A smashing ground n’ pound followed and the rest is history.
