Kulabdam Sor. Jor. Piek Uthai Knocks Out Sangmanee Klong SuanPluResort to Advance to ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai Tournament Final

Bangkok, Thailand: The largest global sports media property in Asian history, ONE Championship™ (ONE), once again electrified the bustling Thai capital of Bangkok with another spectacular evening of world-class martial arts action. ONE: NO SURRENDER III, a closed-door, audience-free event showcased the absolute best in local and international martial arts talent.

In the main event, 21-year-old Thai phenom “Left Meteorite” Kulabdam Sor. Jor. Piek Uthai notched the biggest win of his young career, stopping top-rated countryman “The Million Dollar Baby” Sangmanee Klong SuanPluResort to advance to the final round of the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai Tournament. The two men exchanged fiery combinations at the center of the ONE Championship ring to start the contest. Sangmanee was loose and relaxed, as Kulabdam launched sharp uppercuts and hooks from just out of range. However, an explosive left straight toward the end of the first round connected for Kulabdam, tagging Sangmanee flush to the jaw. Sangmanee was out cold before he hit the ground, as Kulabdam walked away with an emphatic knockout victory.

*NOTE: Rodlek PK.Saenchaimuaythaigym will step in for the injured Saemapetch Fairtex in the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai Tournament Final.

In a ONE Super Series flyweight Muay Thai contest, Lumpinee Stadium Muay Thai World Champion Mongkolpetch Petchyindee Academy of Thailand put forth a striking clinic, thwarting an aggressive but outclassed opponent in Kun Khmer World Champion Sok Thy of Cambodia. Sok Thy started the first round attacking aggressively, moving forward while Mongkolpetch opted to counter from range. In the second round, Mongkolpetch continued to use his height and reach advantage, keeping Sok Thy at bay with accurate combinations and superior length. In the final frame, Mongkolpetch turned up the intensity, proceeding to outwork Sok Thy en route to a unanimous decision victory after three rounds.

Thai Naksu Champion and ONE Championship veteran Shannon “OneShin” Wiratchai spoiled WBC Muay Thai Champion Fabio Pinca’s highly-anticipated mixed martial arts debut, winning by close split decision after three rounds. Wiratchai started strong in the early going, controlling the pace with well-placed counters, and dropping Pinca at the end of the first round. Pinca opened up the second round with slicing elbows on the inside, but a spinning backfist from Wiratchai dropped the Frenchman. In the third and final round, Pinca turned up the aggression as he got more comfortable on the feet. Wiratchai used his superior experience to stay out of harm’s way, edging Pinca out slightly on the judges’ scorecards.

2-time Thailand Muay Thai Champion Wondergirl Fairtex put together a smashing performance, using speed and power to overwhelm WBC Oceania Muay Thai Champion Brooke Farrell of Australia in her ONE Super Series debut. Wondergirl showcased her pinpoint accuracy, connecting on a variety of punch combinations from range. A series of right hands then dropped Farrell just a couple of minutes into the round. As soon as the Australian got back to her feet, Wondergirl swarmed her opponent with straight punches to complete the impressive first round knockout.

In a ONE Super Series atomweight Muay Thai contest, Estonian “Snow Leopard” Marie Ruumet impressed in her ONE Super Series debut, defeating game but overmatched opponent Little Tiger of Japan after three exciting rounds. Ruumet was effective with her reach and timing, staying tall while attacking Tiger with roundhouse kicks, step through elbows, and a stream of powerful knees in the clinch. Though Tiger never backed down, Ruumet’s constant pressure continued through rounds two and three and proved too much for the Japanese athlete to overcome. In the end, all three judges scored the bout in favor of Ruumet to win by unanimous decision.

Kicking off the action at ONE: NO SURRENDER III, UKFC Featherweight Champion Ben Royle of the United Kingdom made a successful ONE Championship debut, scoring the first knockout of his career with a TKO victory over the United States’ Quitin Thomas. Though the two athletes are primarily grapplers, the entire bout was spent on the feet as both men preferred to trade strikes at the center of the ONE Championship ring. A leg kick hurt Thomas in the second round, and the American was close to being finished, but Royle had difficulty putting his opponent away. Instead, he put the finishing touches in the third round, stopping Thomas with a perfectly executed standing combination.

‘ALONE’: Dominic Chin struggles with anxiety

Dominic Chin, Singapore pop artist has released ALONE, the 6th single from his upcoming debut EP License To Cry, via Singapore indie label Umami Records. The singer-songwriter lays bare his struggles with anxiety disorder.

The acclaimed Singapore-based artist also clarifies that ALONE is not a song meant to uplift anybody. “It’s a song to let people who struggle with anxiety issues like me to know that they are not alone, and that I too struggle with it on a day to day basis and I’m still here.”

Dom

“Dear don’t let me go, let me go tonight,” he pleads desperately in the chorus, accompanied by a minimalist, gentle electro-pop beat that gives the track its melancholic, intimate vibe. ALONE takes a step back from the dance floor and finds a way to reflect on life decisions cautiously, without resorting to self-sabotage.

“The song is about my anxiety order and how it affects all the relationships in my life,” Dominic Chin shares in a statement. “Finding love and peace with good healthy relationships but feeling tremendously undeserving of it, resulting in me wanting to sabotage the relationship. The song talks about feeling conflicted about my relationships, being totally defeated and yearning for some help while I fight my battles with feeling disorientated by all that is going on in my mind.”

Dominic Chin’s debut EP License To Cry is scheduled for release on 9 October 2020, followed by his debut show at the Esplanade Singapore on 26 December 2020.

Listen to ALONE by Dominic Chin everywhere at this link: https://www.umamirecords.sg/alone/

R&B trio brb. sets the stage for their sophomore EP, with debut track “my type”

Singaporean R&B trio brb, returns just months after the release of their debut album, now with their brand new single,“my type”— out on all digital and streaming platforms worldwide today Friday,  August 21, 2020.

Beyond the suggestive title, “my type” alludes to navigating the feelings that come with loving someone. Messages of acceptance and understanding are accompanied by a wistful chorus set against a tropical beat that is sure to leave you bopping.

Steeped in radiant electronic beats and soulful production, brb.’s latest jam brims with experiments gone right. But make no mistake: it’s a song that grapples with optimism—the kind that surges with both finesse and adrenaline, but delivered with the occasional oddity that we’ve come to experience from the alt-R&B group’s previous material.

“We hope to introduce a different energy into our upcoming releases. Our EP  relationsh*t was rather somber and we wanted to write happier songs this time round. We’re excited for you to hear what we have in store this year.”

“my type” is taken off  brb’s upcoming sophomore EP which is slated for release in 2021.

Lyrics of “my type”

Verse 1:
Don’t let nobody say you psycho
Even when you’re on tightrope
They don’t know that it’s the pain for something else
What a shame they couldn’t paint it on themselves,
Take a second on me.

Pre-Chorus:
It’s a habit when it’s old
When you get up in the middle of the night.
Feel like you’re losing control,
You know it gon be like

Chorus:
Yeah you feel right
I can’t define it for ya.
You get my vibe
Like no one else before ya
Yeah you feel right
There’s just something about ya
You’re my type, you’re my… you’re my

Verse 2:
Don’t you think i notice that
You’ve been keepin that distance yeah
You know i don’t mind if you’re candid,
With you i feel like I am blinded yea
We go dumb de de dumb dumb
Feel so faded now,
We’ve been down de de down down
And now I’m walking on tightrope waiting for ya.

Pre-chorus:
It’s a habit when it’s old (Oh)
When you get up in the middle of the night. (Middle of the night)
Feel like you’re losing control,
You know it gon be like

Chorus:
Yeah you feel right (You feel right)
I can’t define it for ya. (No i can’t define you)
You get my vibe ( ahh yea)
Like no one else before ya
Yeah you feel right (You feel right)
There’s just something about ya
You’re my type, you’re my… you’re my
You’re my type, you’re my, you’re my

Former ONE Bantamweight World Champion Kevin Belingon Finds New Motivation With Birth of Baby Girl

Former ONE Bantamweight World Champion Kevin “The Silencer” Belingon has conquered the greatest challenges inside the ONE Circle throughout his career. But no achievement could top a life milestone the 32-year-old mixed martial arts veteran recently experienced.

Just a couple of days ago, Belingon and wife Lee welcomed a beautiful and healthy baby girl into the world. Kelsey Belingon was born on Tuesday, 18 August at theNotre Dame De Chartres Hospital in Baguio City.

https://www.facebook.com/KevinTheSilencerBelingon/posts/2818773088228971

For Belingon, becoming a father was something he had always dreamed about. Needless to say, getting to hold his child in his arms for the first time was a moment he could not put into words.

“Of course, I was very excited because we have been waiting for this for quite some time. It is the best feeling I’ve ever experienced,” said Belingon.

“I was very excited to see our baby for the first time. The original plan was that I’m supposed to be with my wife during the delivery. But due to Covid-19, there were new restrictions, so I had to wait outside the delivery room. I just couldn’t wait to see our baby at that moment.”

Belingon is a ONE Championship veteran who has seen it all inside the ONE Circle. He is considered one of the pillars of the famed Team Lakay of Baguio City, and of Philippine mixed martial arts.

“The Silencer” reached the pinnacle of his professional mixed martial arts career when he unified the ONE Bantamweight World Championship with a split decision over Brazilian rival Bibiano “The Flash” Fernandes in 2018.

The 32-year-old is currently on the comeback trail, making a case for another shot at the World Title with every victory. Now a new father, Belingon says he is motivated more than ever to resume his career and give his child the future she deserves.

“Family has always been my first priority. Having a child in that picture makes me level up my game as the head of the family,” said Belingon.

“I feel more motivated in everything in life right now, especially in providing a good future for our child.”

Belingon also joins the list of Team Lakay fathers that include former ONE Lightweight World Champion Eduard Folayang, ONE Flyweight World Grand Prix Finalist Danny Kingad, and former ONE Flyweight World Champion GejeEustaquio, among others.

Watch ONE: NO SURRENDER III on One Sports or One Sports+ at 8:30 p.m. Philippine Standard Time (PHT). Also, TV5 will air the event on a next-day delay at 11 p.m. PHT.

Joshua Pacio Joins the Team Lakay Mountain Biking Craze

Team Lakay is hands down the most prolific martial arts team in the Philippines. With well-known and established stars such as former ONE Lightweight World Champion Eduard Folayang, and former ONE Bantamweight World Champion Kevin Belingon leading the pack, Team Lakay is the absolute elite in Asian martial arts.

But because of the effect the Covid-19 pandemic has had on the world, particularly the Philippines where movement has been greatly restricted, Team Lakay has had to resort to alternative methods of training to keep their physical fitness at the highest level.

Fortunately, the team is situated in one of the most breathtaking locales in the entire country. Baguio City is abundant with lush greenery, cool weather, and fresh mountain air.

Reigning ONE Strawweight World Champion Joshua “The Passion” Pacio recently took up the Team Lakay pastime of mountain biking, and now a handful of their team members regularly hit the dirt roads to experience the fun and excitement of this alternative sport.

“I took up mountain biking because I saw kuya Edward [Kelly], kuya Geje [Eustaquio], and kuya Honorio [Banario] doing it. So I tried it way back then, but it took me two years to buy my own bike. I’ve only just now made it a regular thing. Now we all go biking together, and it’s a lot of fun,” said Pacio.

“Mountain biking is a leisure activity, but it’s also good for cardio exercise.”

Pacio and the team typically integrate mountain biking into their training regimen, riding at least once a week during training camp, and two to three times a week when they don’t have upcoming bouts.

The area they usually ride in Baguio City is flush with natural beauty — hills, valleys, rivers, and flourishing wildlife.

For Pacio, it’s a chance not only to get in a great workout, but also to absorb the unique energy of mother nature.

“Me, Danny [Kingad], Jeremy [Pacatiw], Jomar [Paac], kuya Geje, Edward, and Honorio all ride a lot. It’s one of the ways we bond. We ride together and experience the outdoors. It’s reenergizing and revitalizing, great for the mind and body,” said Pacio.

“What I love most about mountain biking is that you don’t really notice how physically tiring it is because you’re having so much fun. It’s especially fun riding up mountains and roads. Baguio City has some of the best scenic locations in the Philippines. It’s so refreshing to just take in nature. We also have the best weather in the country.”

Pacio is staying ready and staying sharp. Once the situation with Covid-19 begins to improve and restrictions are relaxed, ONE Championship will look to host events in Manila once again. Pacio, who holds the ONE Strawweight World Title, knows he has to be at the top of his game constantly for when he gets the call to defend his belt.

Luckily, Pacio has mountain biking to keep him busy until he steps into the ONE Circle again. The Team Lakay group activity has produced some memorable moments for Pacio.

“One of my most memorable experiences mountain biking was when ONE Championship came to Baguio for a shoot. They wanted to capture us mountain biking, so we went to Bubok Bisal, which is an hour and a half away from here. We enjoyed it a lot,” Pacio recalled.

“There were a lot of uphill and downhill slopes. We started riding at 10 in the morning, and we finished around 4:30 in the afternoon, ending up along a river where we had a meal before we went home. It’s those moments that get etched into your memory. It was such an amazing experience.”
