Drex Zamboanga needs just 65 seconds to win as Pacatiw falls

February 26 ------ Drex Zamboanga needed only 65 seconds to dispatch Rahul Raju and knock him out of the first round. The Marrok Force MMA bet connected with a killer right uppercut and hardly showed any struggles despite jumping two weight classes in his lightweight debut.

Zamboanga stretched his win streak to three as he now rose to 10-5, while also netting back quick payoffs in his move from the flyweight division. Raju, who was making his ONE return in two years, fell to 8-7.

Jeremy Pacatiw, meanwhile, wasn't as lucky. The Team Lakay rising star was on the receiving end of a nasty knee to the body that prompted the referee to stop the bout at the 1:37 mark of round one. It was a tough night at the office for Pacatiw, who dropped to 10-5 and failed in his upset bid against the no. 4-ranked bantamweight.

Andrade, on the other hand, rose to a 7-2 record to boost his stock for a future title shot at the ONE Bantamweight World Championship.
