Yushin Okami’s ONE Championship debut didn’t go as planned, as the 37-year-old MMA veteran was finished via technical knockout in the opening stanza of the second round.
Okami, a former UFC middleweight title challenger who is the only fighter to hold a disqualification win over Anderson Silva, was knocked out by streaking welterweight (185-pound) contender Kiamrian Abbasov at ONE Championship: For Honor this weekend in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Check out the stoppage below, where Okami was dropped with a right hand and finished with an onslaught of ground and pound.
Okami, who has been competing as a professional mixed martial arts for almost seventeen years, last fought in the UFC back in 2018, when he dropped a unanimous decision to Alexey Kunchenko at UFC Fight Night 142.
