Two world titles changed hands at ONE: INSIDE THE MATRIX, which was easily the best card of the year for ONE Championship. In Singapore’s indoor stadium, Reinier “The Dutch Knight” De Ridder achieved the biggest surprise of the night by sending Aung La “The Burmese Python” N Sang to capture the ONE world middleweight title in the night’s main event. . De Ridder promised to strangle the seemingly invincible Myanmar World Champion before the match, saying “everyone has a neck”, and did not deny it. In the first round, the Dutchman secured a takedown and quickly advanced his position against the 35-year-old, but Aung La N Sang persevered and got to his feet, although that led to a more precarious situation. “The Dutch Gentleman” dragged him down, secured a body block, then subjected the longtime middleweight king with a bare rear choke at the 3:26 mark of the first round. Burmese teammate Martin “The Situ-Asian” Nguyen lost his belt to Thanh Le, who scored a sensational third-round knockout victory to win the ONE world featherweight title. The knockout came at the 2:29 mark of the round, just after he turned the tide against “The Situ-Asian,” who seemed to be getting his momentum while actively driving the action. And that turned out to be the beginning of the end. He hit Nguyen with a short forehand and the former world champion desperately tried to launch himself over the hurdles. He kept him calm, dodged his opponent’s punches and landed a clean combination of left and right punches for the sensational parry. Christian “The Warrior” Lee and “The Panda” Xiong Jing Nan, meanwhile, left the indoor stadium in Singapore with the belt still around the waist. Lee finished the once-undefeated # 1 ranked contender Iuri Lapicus in a fire, scoring a TKO victory at the 2:19 mark of the first round. The 22-year-old survived an early haystack and escaped an Achilles block from Lapicus. Lee then threw a barrage of punches from behind to earn the stoppage victory. Xiong, on the other hand, edged out a tough Tiffany “No Chill” Teo to retain her ONE strawweight world title in a five-round war.
