21 November 2015 – Beijing, China: The
largest sports media property in Asian history, ONE Championship™
(ONE), in partnership with Wujie, packed the Gymnasium of National
Olympic Sports Centre in Beijing to the rafters with another evening of
world-class mixed martial arts action. ONE WUJIE: DYNASTY OF CHAMPIONS
(BEIJING II) rocked the arena with a series of exciting fights,
including a spectacular main event. In an intense battle of two
champions, Marat “Cobra” Gafurov successfully unified the ONE
Featherweight World Championship with a technical submission victory
over Narantungalag Jadambaa.
In
the main event of the evening, Marat “Cobra” Gafurov of Russia overcame
a spirited effort from now former champion Narantungalag Jadambaa of
Mongolia to win by technical submission in an exhausting title bout.
Jadambaa proved to the world that his striking is an absolute force to
be reckoned with, battering Gafurov with well-timed kicks and pinpoint
punching. Gafurov however, dominated from top position with various
submission attempts and ground-and-pound. In the end, Gafurov secured a
breathtaking rear naked choke to put Jadambaa to sleep, coercing referee
Olivier Coste to call a halt to the contest.
In
the co-main event, Greco-Roman wrestling specialist Kairat Akhmetov
showcased his superior takedown ability to remain undefeated by trumping
now former champion Adriano Moraes to capture the ONE Flyweight World
Championship. Although Moraes led slightly with his revamped striking
technique, Akhmetov scored on multiple takedowns and nullified the
Brazilian’s submission attempts with top control. Judges scored the bout
in favor of Akhmetov by split decision after five rounds.
Yang
Sen took the fight straight to opponent Zhang Jia Cai to win by
impressive Kimura submission in the Beijing Featherweight Tournament II
final bout. Yang beat Zhang to the punch on numerous occasions and
commandeered the action on the mat to set up the spectacular finish.
With the victory, Yang maintained his undefeated record and was crowned
tournament champion.
In
an evenly matched flyweight contest, Li Wei Bin and Wang Ya Yong both
put on an amazing display of grit and heart for three gruelling rounds.
The two fighters maintained a fast pace throughout, with Li utilizing
well-calculated strikes to keep Wang at bay. A spinning backfast landed
for Wang in the second round but Li accomplished more down the stretch.
Two judges had Li winning the fight as he was awarded with a split
decision victory.
Nikolay
Aleksakhin of Seltso, Russia utilized world-class wrestling to punish
Burenzorig Batmunkh of Mongolia en-route to an impressive submission
finish. Aleksakhin dominated his opponent on the ground and also
established command in the striking department, highlighted by a
spinning backfist in the final round. After three rounds of action,
Aleksakhin was able to secure the rear naked choke, compelling Batmunkh
to tap out.
Jeff
“The Machine” Huang evened the score with Trestle Tan by scoring a
quick technical knockout victory over the Filipino mixed martial artist.
Tan blasted Huang with a combination to open the bout but Huang was
able to secure a clinch up against the cage where he tagged Tan
repeatedly with uppercuts, forcing the stoppage just moments into the
first round.
Ma
Jia Wen figured in a phenomenal performance against Wang Ya Wei as he
trounced his opponent from start to finish with devastating power shots
from all angles. Ma showcased dynamic striking technique and good range
awareness to keep Wang at a distance, unable to take the fight to the
ground. After two rounds of absolute dominance, the Tianjin native
simply would not be denied of victory as he defeated Wang by unanimous
decision.
Zhang
Jia Cai got the better of the exchanges and showed solid submission
defense against Qiao Long Fei who had no answer for Zhang’s tenacity.
Zhang pummeled Qiao repeatedly with powerful strikes and dictated the
action on the feet. On the mat, Zhang was able to lock in a modified
rear naked choke from the side, forcing Qiao to tap out in the first
round.
Mixed
martial artist Ala Teng Bu Ri Ge De and Sanda specialist Yang Sen
kicked off ONE WUJIE: DYNASTY OF CHAMPIONS (BEIJING II) with a classic
battle between grappler and striker. Ala Teng Bu Ri Ge De tried to

decision.
