One Revolution Main Event: Lee vs Yoon

Following back-to-back wins in ONE, Yoon earned a shot at Christian Lee for the lightweight strap at Revolution. However, he didn’t seem like he was up for the task inside the cage, as Lee found it easy to outwork him with legitimate strikes, takedowns, and cage control. Although Rae Yoon did attempt to let his hands go, Lee seemed ready with a response.

The full-length contest was absolutely entertaining until the shocking decision was announced. Lee also protested against the result and demanded an immediate rematch. It was indeed an intense ending to a stellar card.

Meanwhile, Christian’s younger sister, Victoria Lee, was able to keep her undefeated record intact. She added another stoppage win to her name. The 17-year-old looked flawless as she dismantled Victoria Souza’s game plan from the very start. The surging star seized her opponent in merely two rounds, ending the battle via punches and elbow strikes.

Heavyweight action was also at its peak come fight night. The slugfest between Amir Aliakbari and Anatoly Malykhin grabbed a lot of attention. While both men had claimed they would outpoint the other in the build-up of the fight, the bout turned out to be a lopsided affair.

Despite such bold claims in the pre-fight segment, the Iranian fighter had nothing to show as he departed with the big loss.

Malykhin struck his opponent with vicious shots in the very early stage. The contest ended at 2:57 in the first round as Akbari got hit with a power shot and went crashing to the canvas.

More and More action

Meanwhile, Joshua Pacio also had a tranquil night as he defended the strawweight title against Yosuke Saruta. The fight could have gone the distance. However, Pacio dished out vicious combinations and ended the show in the first round via TKO.

Akin to Pacio, Kim Jae Woong also looked great in his scrap against Martin Nguyen. Ex-two division champion Nguyen came to fight, intending to get back in the win column. But Woong finished ‘The Situ-Asian’ with a TKO in round one. If that’s not all, the lead card also had a lot to offer to the combat fans.
