Kwon Won Il’s Impressive Victory
In a thrilling featherweight match at ONE Fight Night 18, Kwon Won Il showcased his dominance and solidified his position among the top-ranked fighters. Facing off against Mongolian powerhouse Shinechagtga Zoltsetseg, Kwon delivered a spectacular performance that left fans in awe.
The fight took place on January 12 at the renowned Lumpinee Boxing Stadium. Kwon demonstrated his superior skills by securing a second-round TKO finish with a series of devastating elbow strikes. The impact of these strikes caused a massive cut on Zoltsetseg’s face, leading to a memorable victory for Kwon.
Kwon’s win was shared on ONE Championship ‘s Instagram account, where the promotion highlighted his impressive performance. The post also raised the question of whether Kwon deserves a shot at Fabricio Andrade’s bantamweight MMA World Title.
With this victory, Kwon improved his professional record to nine wins, all of which have been finishes. The South Korean fighter has established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the world’s largest martial arts organization.
Not only did Kwon excel in striking exchanges, but he also showcased his improved grappling game. Throughout the fight, he successfully executed multiple takedowns against Zoltsetseg, who represents Zorky MMA. These takedowns allowed Kwon to transition into submission attempts and ultimately secure a ground-and-pound finish.
Following his third consecutive win, Kwon wasted no time in calling out the reigning ONE bantamweight MMA world champion, Fabricio Andrade. Kwon believes that he has earned a rematch against Andrade, this time for the coveted 26-pound golden belt. His confidence stems from his impressive streak of finishing his last three opponents, Mark Abelardo, Artem Belakh, and Zoltsetseg, all via TKO.
Kwon’s determination to avenge his previous loss to Andrade is evident. In their first meeting at ONE 158 in June 2022, Kwon suffered a first-round knockout defeat at the hands of the Brazilian world champion. However, since that setback, Kwon has shown incredible resilience and an unwavering hunger for redemption.
