Garry Tonon improved to 2-0 on Friday at ONE Championship: Reign of Kings in Manila, Philippines, this time using his signature submission ability to stop Rahul Raju in the third round of their lightweight clash.

The five-time EBI champion got clipped several times in the opening exchanges before forcing his opponent to the ground on the two-minute mark.

Shortly after the fight hit the ground, Tonon wrapped up a signature heel hook, but Raju managed to escape and didn’t accept the Renzo Gracie fighter’s invitation to return to the canvas. After a brief spell on his feet, Tonon rolled into another leg lock from standing, but the Indian evaded the technique again.
