Shinya Aoki closed out his iconic mixed martial arts career with another highlight-reel finish in his native Japan.
It only took ‘Tobikan Judan’ 53 seconds to notch another win over his greatest rival, Eduard Folayang, catching the Filipino fan favorite in a slick armbar submission mere moments into their bout at ONE 172.
As the fight began, Aoki immediately shot in for a double-leg takedown. Folayang successfully defended, but Aoki jumped guard, dragging Folayang down to the mat and catching the former ONE world champion in an armbar.
