ONE Championship crowned its new undisputed bantamweight champion at “ONE: Heart of the Lion” at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore on November 9, 2018. It was the organization’s second and last event in the country in 2018.
“ONE: Heart of the Lion” featured nine mixed martial arts matches, three Muay Thai bouts and one kickboxing contest. In the eighth bout of the evening, two-division Lion Fight World Champion “Smokin’” Jo Nattawut overcame a tremendous size disadvantage to pick apart Scotland’s George Mann en route to a dominant unanimous decision victory.
The smaller Thai kickboxer did a masterful job of negating his much taller Scottish opponent’s reach by connecting on blistering combinations. These kept the lanky Scotsman at bay from the first round to the final frame.
In the end, Nattawut’s clinical display of technical striking was enough to have his hand raised in triumph. Here is the complete list of “ONE: Heart of the Lion” results:
