SINGAPORE — In a much anticipated clash between two Japanese standouts, Shinya “Tobikan Judan” Aoki stayed true to his fame by submitting the slower and outclassed Kotetsu “No Face” Boku to take the ONE FC Lightweight Championship Friday night, April 5.
Aoki started out exactly the way experts predicted, by going straight for the single-leg takedown. Boku tried to stay on his feet, but his takedown defense was highly lacking. Once the fight got to the ground, Boku was in Aoki’s back yard.
Round 1 was all Aoki as the helpless Boku tried desperately to shake off submission attempt after submission attempt.
On the ground, Aoki tried a multitude of maneuvers – a rear naked choke, a kimura, a reverse triangle, a neck crank – you name it. Boku showed great resistance to these submission attempts and was able to thwart every single one of them to the last second as he was saved by the bell.
Rear naked choke
Round 2 saw nearly the exact same sequence, with Boku trying to keep the fight standing and Aoki going once again for the single-leg takedown.
Finally, and mercifully, at 4:04 of Round 2, Aoki locked in a rear naked choke as he took Boku’s back. This time the hold was too deep to overcome and forced Boku to tap out. – Rappler.com
