ONE Fighting Championship (ONE FC) Asia’s premier Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) organization impressed a sold-out Singapore Indoor Stadium with ONE FC: RISE OF KINGS. The largest MMA event held to date in Singapore proved to be a night of unforgettable action with a series of world class battles inside the famous ONE FC cage. The highly-anticipated debut of Japanese MMA superstar Shinya Aoki ended in success as the Japanese fighter defeated Arnaud “The Game” Lepont with a triangle choke submission in just 1:25 minutes of round 1. After suffering a setback in his last fights, Aoki looked to have regained his winning ways as he entered the cage with confidence and proceeded to dominate the fight early by bringing the on-rushing Frenchman to the ground and making him fight where Aoki is most dangerous. Once on the ground, Aoki applied a triangle choke to finish Lepont in impressive fashion.

“I get the call this morning that he’s been arrested in his hotel room, I go straight to the police, the sheriff’s department here and start putting the pieces together on what’s going on and how to fix it. I’m sure you could tell by my tweeting I was 100-percent confident that I was going to get him out for this fight. “Basically what happened is they do not like him in Des Moines, Iowa where this warrant is from. Basically, they’re going to extradite him, one of those situations, or not we’ll see what happens with this whole thing, but the kid’s been here since Monday no secret that he was going to be here. They arrest him at almost noontime on Friday after he weighs in yesterday and everything else. In my opinion after dealing with this all day, that was done on purpose.”
