Former UFC champion [autotag]Demetrious Johnson[/autotag] ventured into the unknown at ONE X, and he came out with a slick submission finish over [autotag]Rodtang Jitmuangnon[/autotag].
Johnson, a former UFC flyweight titleholder, has spent the past few years working his craft with ONE Championship in Asia. He was placed in a unique special rules fight with Rodtang in Saturday’s co-main event, which alternated muay Thai with MMA rules through each round. After surviving the fire of Rodtang’s sensational striking in the opening frame, he turned the tables in the MMA rules by taking the fight to the ground, locking in a rear-naked choke and putting his opponent to sleep.
