ONE on TNT II results: Champ Christian Lee stuns Timofey Nastyukhin with first-round TKO

While challenger Timofey Nastyukhin promised a first-round finish, it was Christian Lee who delivered that result at ONE on TNT II.

While challenger [autotag]Timofey Nastyukhin[/autotag] (14-5) promised a first-round finish, it was [autotag]Christian Lee[/autotag] (15-3) who delivered that result at ONE on TNT II.

The 22-year-old Lee retained his lightweight title with the impressive victory, which took place at Singapore Indoor Stadium and aired Wednesday on TNT.

Lee was cautious in the face of the aggressive Nastyukhin early staying on the outside and moving well. But as the challenger leaped forward to strike, Lee clipped him with a clean counter left that sent Nastyukhin to the canvas.

Lee pulled back on a takedown that was coming after the clean left and instead started to rattle off right hands. Some 15 shots followed, and as Nastyukhin tried to tripod and stand, they continued to land clean, opening up a cut near the challenger’s right eye. Lee didn’t show any signs of slowing down, and the referee called off the fight just 73 seconds after it began.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better story, really,” Lee said before dedicating the fight to his pregnant wife. “This was the most important fight of my life.”

For his part, Nastyukhin protested the result, but it was difficult to paint his attempted recovery as intelligent defense in the face of relentless punches. The result served as Lee’s second successful title defense.

“Speed and accuracy beats power, and that’s what happened tonight,” Lee said.

ONE Championship 104 results: Amir Khan survives Ev Ting rally, Colbey Northcutt gets first win

Amir Khan did damage early against Ev Ting, but had to survive Ting’s third-round rally to escape with a split decision win.

[autotag]Amir Khan[/autotag] did damage early against [autotag]Ev Ting[/autotag], but had to survive Ting’s third-round rally to escape with a split decision win in the ONE Championship 104 MMA main event.

“ONE Championship 104: Edge of Greatness” took place Friday at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore. The event streamed on B/R Live.

Ting (17-7) was able to utilize many of his weapons in the first round, but Khan’s (12-6) striking was on point. In particular, when Ting and Khan clinched, Khan was able to land a hard elbow on the break that damaged Ting’s nose.

Khan’s striking again was rolling in the second after targeted Ting’s nose. He turned Ting’s face into a bloody mess. But with a little more than a minute left in the second round, Ting was able to land a takedown and got on top and tried to turn the tide with ground-and-pound. But Khan got back to his feet after only a few seconds on his back to ride out the round on his feet.

Ting clinched Khan up in the final frame and tried to get a takedown, but Khan stayed on his feet and moved back to the center. When Ting tried to kick high 90 seconds in, Khan slipped it and landed a hard right hand that was emblematic of his striking throughout the fight. But with at the 2:50 mark, Ting landed a pair of heavy punches, and the second seemed to stun Khan and forced him to tie things up.

Ting got the fight to the canvas late and tried to go to work on top. Khan tried to work back to his feet and finally did with 25 seconds left. And despite Ting’s third-round rally, Khan already had done enough in the eyes of two of the three judges.

[autotag]Troy Worthen[/autotag] (6-0) stayed unbeaten when he took out [autotag]Chen Lei[/autotag] (6-2) with just four seconds left in the second round of their fight. With Lei covered up, Worthen repeatedly rained punches down on him until he got the stoppage. The ref arguably could have let them go to the horn to allow Lei a chance to see a third round, but he wasn’t showing anything while Worthen hammered away on him to get the stoppage.

[autotag]Rahul Raju[/autotag] (7-4) continued his resurgence after a three-fight skid to open his ONE tenure when he submitted late-notice opponent [autotag]Furqan Cheema[/autotag] (8-3) with a second-round rear-naked choke. It was Raju’s second straight finish by the choke to get back on track after going 0-3 in his three ONE fights in 2018.

Earlier on the card, [autotag]Dejdamrong Sor Amnuaysirichoke[/autotag] (11-5) took out [autotag]Muhammad Imran[/autotag] (5-4) with a big TKO. Amnuaysirichoke landed heavy knees in the clinch to put Imran on the canvas, then quickly dropped to the mat to finish him with punches in the third round.

[autotag]Colbey Northcutt[/autotag] (1-1) picked up the first win of her pro MMA career with a striking clinic in her ONE debut. Northcutt, a karate standout and sister of ONE fighter Sage Northcutt, put her standup on display for a unanimous decision win over [autotag]Putri Padmi[/autotag] (0-2).

To open the MMA portion of the main card, former strawweight champion [autotag]Alex Silva[/autotag] (9-4) won for the second straight time by armbar when he took out [autotag]Xuewen Peng[/autotag] (3-6) in the second round. Brazil’s Silva put on a masterful grappling display late in the middle frame to get the tap in a similar fashion to how he beat Stefer Rahardian earlier this year to snap a three-fight skid.

On the prelims, Japan’s [autotag]Shuya Kamikubo[/autotag] (11-1-1) won for the sixth straight time and took a unanimous decision from Brazil’s [autotag]Bruno Pucci[/autotag] (7-4) in their featherweight fight.
