Indian-Canadian flyweight Gurdarshan Mangat stretched his winning streak to two after defeating Yodkaikaew Fairtex at ONE 158: Tawanchai vs. Larsen on Friday (June 3) at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore.

It was a hard-fought victory for "Saint Lion" as his Thai foe brought everything he had to the Circle. The Xtreme Couture and 10th Planet Las Vegas representative earned a split-decision win for his efforts though.

In the main event, Tawanchai PK.Saenchai's one-two combination handed Niclas Larsen a loss on his debut in The Home of Martial Arts. The Thai sensation followed his cracking right hand with a well-placed left strike to send his Danish foe crashing to the canvas.

Larsen tried to get up, but Tawanchai's power was too much, ending the contest in the second round. Aside from getting a US$50,000 incentive, Tawanchai also earned a shot at the ONE Featherweight Muay Thai World Championship against current titleholder Petchmorakot Petchyindee.

Meanwhile, #4-ranked bantamweight contender Fabricio "Wonder Boy" Andrade made a strong case for a shot at ONE Bantamweight World Champion John "Hands of Stone" Lineker after a stunning first-round knockout of #2-ranked "Pretty Boy" Kwon Won Il.

The South Korean could not withstand the Brazilian's kick to the liver. The win maintained Andrade's undefeated run in ONE Championship and earned him a US$50,000 bonus.

Reece McLaren also manifested his improved arsenal after training with Muay Thai legend John Wayne "The Gunslinger" Parr. The Australian locked in a rear-naked choke on "The Hunter" Xie Wei to complete a first-round submission victory.
