Kairat Akhmetov finished off his 2021 with a convincing win over Danny Kingad at ONE: Winter Warriors II.
The former flyweight champion bested Kingad over three rounds from the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore.
Akhmetov was relentless with his wrestling throughout the contest, consistently driving Kingad backward with powerful shots. On the ground, the Kazakhstani fighter controlled the action with technical precision. While Kingad did have his moments, they were few and far between as Akhmetov asserted himself at every juncture.
In the co-main event, Kwon Won Il authored a shocking knockout victory over former ONE bantamweight champion and current #2-ranked contender Kevin Belingon.
The tall and lanky South Korean attacked Belingon with a steady stream of punching combinations from the opening bell, while the Filipino star fired back with his patented spinning attacks.
A thunderous left hook to the body in the second frame crumpled Belingon instantly, and the former bantamweight king was unable to continue. The official finish came at the 0:52 mark of round two.
