One Championship News & FeaturesONE Friday Fights 45 Highlight Video: Suleyman Suleymanov Puts Away Nursultan Toktorov
Suleyman Suleymanov made a successful One Championship debut, as he put away Nursultan Toktorov with a guillotine choke in the second round of their ONE Friday Fights 45 lightweight showcase on Friday at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. Suleymanov (10-0, 1-0 ONE) coaxed the tapout 12 seconds into Round 2.
Toktorov (4-1, 0-1 ONE) acquitted himself well in the first round, where he battered his counterpart with kicks to the lower leg. Twice Suleymanov was swept off his feet. The 30-year-old Azerbaijan native was unshaken. Toktorov moved on an ill-advised takedown attempt at the start of the middle stanza, wandered into Suleymanov’s waiting arms and found himself hopelessly entangled in the guillotine. Surrender was his only option.
Suleymanov has finished five of his 10 wins, four of them via submission.
