Singapore-based martial arts promotion ONE Championship returned with another spectacular evening of world-class martial arts action. Broadcast on September 11, 2020, “ONE: A New Breed II” is a previously recorded, closed-door event in Bangkok, Thailand.
Featuring one kickboxing contest, two Muay Thai matches and three MMA bouts, “ONE: A New Breed II” saw the absolute best in local and international martial arts talent take the ONE Championship ring. In the main event, four-time Muay Thai World Champion Pongsiri PK.Saenchaimuaythaigym of Thailand turned in a stirring performance, going toe-to-toe with Ireland’s Sean “Clubber” Clancy across three grueling rounds.
Clancy looked to counter Pongsiri’s forward movement with volume output but the Thai superstar would not be deterred. A sharp left hook from Pongsiri stunned Clancy momentarily, as the Irishman retreated to the corner.
In the second round, a slicing right elbow from Pongsiri dropped Clancy to the canvas. However, the latter showed incredible heart, beating the 10-count, and making his way back up to his feet.
In the third and final round, the two men went to war in the phonebooth, with neither wanting to take a step backward. In the end, all three judges scored the bout in favor of Pongsiri to win by unanimous decision.
Eight countries were represented at “ONE: A New Breed II” namely Algeria, Argentina, Australia, France, Ireland, Morocco, Russia and Thailand. Here are the official results:
