ONE Championship’s Inside the Matrix II didn’t come with the spectacle of its live return to Singpore earlier this month. What the card did offer, however, was a welterweight title fight between Kiamrian Abbasov, and top prospect James Nakashima, that certainly made for a compelling fight.
Abbasov (23-4) was making the first defense of the title he won from Zebaztian Kadestam at Inside the Matrix II. He did so in style, knocking the American fighter out in the fourth round. That improved Abbasov’s current win streak to five, which includes victories of UFC veteran Yushin Okami, and ONE regular Agilan Thani.
Full results from the event, which aired via tape delay on Friday, and a gallery of highlights from all five fights can be found below. ONE Championship’s next event, Inside the Matrix III, airs this Friday, November 13.
