“Debut the right way” - Diogo Reis looking to make a splash at ONE Fight Night 29 against Shoya Ishiguro

Two-time ADCC world champion Diogo Reis has already proven himself as one of the best submission grapplers around. Now, with 'Baby Shark's' big debut in ONE Championship only hours out, the 22-year-old grappler is looking to do what he does best: dominate on the ground.

At the pre-event press conference, the Brazilian grappler made his plans clear:

"I want to make my debut the right way, so I'm going to go to submission."

With more golds than you can count with one hand, Diogo Reis' stacked resume proves that he's one of the best submission grapplers in the world.

But stepping into ONE Championship could be a whole different ball game. And with the undefeated Shoya Ishiguro standing across from him, only time will tell how well his debut will turn out.
