Tammi Musumeci scored her second-straight win under the ONE Championship banner on Friday night as the New Jersey native squared off with familiar foe Amanda Alequin inside the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium at ONE Fight Night 12.
Right from the start, Alequin came out aggressively, pushing Musumeci towards the corner of the ring and attempting a double-leg takedown. Musumeci countered by pulling guard and applying a guillotine choke, although it wasn't tight enough to secure a submission, it showcased her early dominance.
Both fighters found themselves on the ground, engaging in a battle of knee locks. Musumeci made an attempt to transition and take Alequin's back, but 'Tubby' rolled through and regained a more favorable position. Despite Alequin's efforts to escape Musumeci's ankle lock attempts and regain top position, Musumeci managed to secure Alequin's ankle, forcing her back to the canvas.
