ONE Fight Night 26: Dante Leon, Cole, Mayssa Shine In Singapore

Mayssa Bastos was able to retain her ONE Atomweight Championship by decision, defeating former champion Danielle Kelly in a rematch.

The most decisive exchange came late with Bastos transitioning her way to a deep inside heel hook that got her the deciding criteria to keep her belt.
For any fans of grappling that want to watch more elite action, the IBJJF No-Gi World Championships will be going down next weekend with dozens of ranked grapplers vying for gold. It all goes down exclusively on FloGrappling.
Cole Abate took on MMA grappling pioneer Shinya Aoki in his ONE Championship debut, winning by heel hook. Early on, Abate pulled to open guard where he attacked a few submission holds before locking on an outside heel hook and forcing the Tobikan Judan to tap. After the match, Cole was awarded $50k in bonus for his performance. Cole is already signed up for the IBJJF No-Gi Worlds next weekend where he will attempt to win his first black belt world title.
ADCC Absolute medalist Dante Leon was dominant in his debut with the organization, finishing Bruno Pucci with a triangle armbar in just a few minutes. Dante sprawled into a front headlock, spun to the back, and worked his way to the submission win from an achilles triangle. After the match, Dante was awarded with a $50,000 bonus for the performance. A potential matchup between Dante and ONE Championship's 170lb champion Kade Ruotolo could be on the horizon.
