Marcus Buchecha Almeida did it again. The jiujitsu ace submitted his opponent (Kirill Grishenko) with ease in the very first round of the fight. ONE on Prime Video 1 saw the 17-time BJJ champion flaunt his striking to start the bout, but he went to his bread and butter and got his hand raised by referee Herb Dean.
The Brazilian remains undefeated and moves to 5-0. The heavyweight bout between Arjan Bhullar and Anatoly Malykhin would be something he would have his eyes on now.

“That wasn’t the plan… but I kinda lose my balance, and I saw that leg was there,” said Buchecha in the post-fight Circle interview.

After the quick win and emotional response from the 17-time world champion fight fans also reacted to the bout. Even Chatri Sityodtong gave him a $50K bonus. And the grappler thanked the promotion and the ONE CEO & Chairman.
If you ever lost a close friend suddenly you know the feeling. Respect to Buchecha for even showing up tonight, let alone putting on that performance.
