Jhanlo “The Machine” Sangiao absorbed the first blemish in his erstwhile perfect record, falling to Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu in ONE Fight Night 13: Allazov vs. Grigorian on Saturday at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
The 21-year-old Pinoy got tagged with a right elbow to start the second round before the Mongolian bantamweight methodically went to work with his right arm, forcing the tap at the 2:53 mark.
It was a tough finish for Sangiao, who immediately imposed his presence with his array of strikes, bloodying Baatarkhuu’s right eye at the fight’s onset.
Yet the veteran Baatarkhuu was relentless, keeping up on the standup and repeatedly attempting to secure the submission, targeting Sangiao’s right arm, before finally securing the submission victory in round two.
Baatarkhuu still gave credit and praised Sangiao’s ferocity, saying, “I wish him the best. He’s a promising young athlete.”
Nonetheless, Sangiao slipped to 6-1 in his young MMA career as he looks to learn from this first setback.
He also becomes the second Team Lakay fighter to fall to Baatarkhuu after stablemate Adonis Sevilleno suffered a unanimous decision loss at ONE Fight Night 13 last April.
