In the video, the Australian warrior defended vicious kicks from Brazilian contender Windson Ramos in their flyweight MMA battle at ONE 162 that went down inside the Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
'Lightning's' defensive prowess eventually caused a massive swelling on the Checkmat representative's foot, which ultimately led to the fight being stopped in the second round. It was his ninth victory under the promotion since his arrival in December 2015.
Reece McLaren promises to bring his most violent form in his flyweight MMA scrap with Jarred Brooks at ONE Fight Night 26
The CMBT Training Centre representative is now ready to turn back the ambitions of reigning ONE interim strawweight MMA world champion Jarred Brooks of conquering another weight class as he welcomes 'The Monkey God' to the flyweight MMA division on Dec. 6 at ONE Fight Night 26.
Before he gets his hands on the American superstar, he vowed to bring his most violent form in their battle inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. McLaren revealed this in a recent interview with Nick Atkin of The Bangkok Post, where he said:
"I'm going to be absolutely honest man. It's a five-week camp, four weeks of hard work. I don't think you're getting the best Reece but you're going to get the most violent."
