Filipino strawweight prospect Lito Adiwang of Team Lakay snapped his opponent Senzo Ikeda's elbow in a match that ended in a first-round technical submission at ONE: Century, Sunday morning at Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo, Japan.

Adiwang, a six-figure ONE Championship contract winner from ONE Warrior Series, felt his opponent out in the opening seconds of the first round. Ikeda went for a takedown, only to get swiftly reversed by the Filipino.

While on the ground, Adiwang locked an americana that snapped Ikeda's elbow, prompting the referee to halt the contest at the 1:57 mark of round one. He improved his professional MMA record to 10-2 while the hometown fighter fell to 12-8. — BM, GMA News
