FREE FULL FIGHT: Natural striker Danny Kingad shows off his versatility in high-octane first meeting against Yuya Wakamatsu

ONE flyweight MMA star Danny Kingad unleashed his entire arsenal against Japanese standout Yuya Wakamatsu in their flyweight MMA showdown at ONE: Conquest of Heroes in September 2018.

Known for his excellent stand-up game, Kingad also showcased his grappling skills by nearly submitting 'Little Piranha' with a rear-naked choke late in the first round. 'The King' ultimately secured the unanimous decision win.

Relive their entire battle, which ONE shared on YouTube:

This victory marked Kingad's third straight triumph since falling short of dethroning then-ONE flyweight MMA world champion Adriano Moraes in November 2017. He extended his winning streak to six at the expense of Tatsumitsu Wada, Senzo Ikeda, and Reece McLaren.

However, Wakamatsu exacted his revenge against the Filipino spitfire in their rematch at ONE 165 this past January via unanimous decision.

Kingad will again share the Circle with top-ranked ONE flyweight MMA competitor Moraes at ONE 169: Malykhin vs. Reug Reug on Nov. 8 inside the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
