Two New Zealander's showcased their talents at Rich Franklin's ONE Warriors Series 10 in Singapore.
The event was the first one of the series for 2020.
OWS 10 showcased 28 talented, up-and-coming martial artists from around the world, including Kieran ‘the Stonecutter’ Joblin, who headlined the event.
Joblin lost his bout to Byung Hee “The Lucky Guy” Lim via TKO in the first round. Joblin controlled the pace of the bout, pressing the takedown threat. With just over a minute to go, Lim shrugged off another takedown attempt and landed a huge overhand left which left Joblin stunned on the canvas.
Lim followed up with a barrage of ground-and-pound before the referee stepped in to stop the bout.
Renowned New Zealand kickboxer Joey Baylon was also on last night's fight card. Baylon also lost his catchweight fight after being dominated on the ground over three rounds by Manthan Rane.
Baylon looked dangerous on the feet and did well at the start of each round. However, each time he would overcommit and surge forward onto the level-change of Rane, who took him down and controlled him over three rounds for a decisive victory.
Fellow Kiwi James Fairtex Bishop was scheduled to also fight on the card but failed his pre-fight hydration test.
