Tonon Scores Quick Kimura, Mikey Wins Decision At ONE Fight Night

Garry Tonon scored a quick kimura submission over Johnny Nunez in his MMA return at ONE on Prime Video 6. ONE's no.2-ranked featherweight, Tonon wrestled off the cage, securing a kimura grip and diving to his back, then using the grip to attain top position and finishing the submission inside of two minutes.

It was an important rebound for Tonon, now 7-1, who suffered his first loss in March 2022, a knockout in his title shot against reigning ONE featherweight champion Than Le.

Tonon didn't waste time calling for another chance at the title after his match.

“We’re getting another shot at the title soon," he said. "I thought that was a pretty dominant performance. Whoever’s going to be there when it’s time to fight, that would be great.”


ONE flyweight grappling champion Mikey Musumeci defended his strap against Gantumur Bayanduuren, utilizing his trademark leglock in a devastating display of breaking mechanics en route to a decision victory.

Musumeci dominated his opponent, torquing on the Mongolian's leg to unbelievable angles, but Bayanduuren endured. Musumeci released and transitioned to a series of chokes, but could not finish a submission before time expired.

The judges awarded Musumeci a unanimous decision, and the featherweight champion lauded his opponent's resilience.

“His leg popped like 20 times,” Musumeci said. “I’ve never felt somebody’s leg explode like that.”
