Sexton, Arsanaliev Advance to Lightweight Grand Prix Semifinals at One Championship: Call to Greatness

One Championship: Call To Greatness went down on Friday, Feb. 22 in One Championship’s birthplace, Singapore.

In the main MMA attraction of the card, Ariel Sexton submitted Singapore’s very own Amir Khan. Khan came very close to securing a stoppage in the second round, after sending his opponent to the canvas with an overhand right. “Tarzan” was able to limit the damage and the Costa Rican grappling ace then locked up a slick rear-naked choke. The end of the contest came at 1:33 of round three.

It took only 25 seconds for Russian Saygid Guseyn Arslanaliev to solve New Zealand enigma Ev Ting.
