In the historic deal between the ONE Championship and the UFC, Sych Northcat came to the round cage of the ONE Championship with "Hercules" Dimitris Johnson and "King of the Underground" Eddie Alvarez. With his handsome face, sunny smile and strong record, the 23-year-old Sich Northcatter believes his future is endless. Sych Northcat is not only talented but also ambitious, the supernova announced his goal when signing for the ONE Championship that his goal was to get three gold belts in mixed martial arts, kickboxing and Muay Thai.
However, the water of the ONE Championship is notoriously "deep". Eddie Alvarez did not make it through the first round in the lightweight eight-man race. So Saichi was in no hurry to fight, and although he had karate and kickboxing experience, he had lost games in the past because of holes in the ground. He hopes to be more prepared to join the top Alpha boy band in the United States to improve ground technology. Because of this caution, Sage did not play for 10 months. For top athletes, this empty window period is a bit long.
In the "ONE Championship: Dragons Fight" sub-middleweight competition on May 17, "Super Saiyan" Secchi Northcat made his round cage debut, and standing in front of him was Brazil's "good boy" Cosmo Alexander. Alexander, 37, has competed in Muay Thai, kickboxing, boxing and mixed martial arts competitions and has more than seven world championship gold belts. But because of multi-front combat, although Alexander frequently participated in stand-up fighting, he had not appeared in mixed martial arts events for two years and eight months, and his status was unknown.
After the match began, Secchi Northkat stood in a side position in karate, while Alexander stood in a standard Muay Thai position. Both were cautious after the start of the game, with Syge Northcat using a side kick to control the distance. Alexander was not intimidated by his opponent and took the initiative to push forward. Both were masters of standing, and at the moment of approaching the rope, Alexander waved his right hand and Saichi Northcat threw his left fist at the same time. Because of his standing posture and arm span, Alexander punched more accurately, hitting Saiqi in the head. Sage stood unsteadily and fell forward, and Alexander's left hand hit Sage's head again as he fell, which completely made the "Super Saiyan" lose consciousness and smash his face directly into the boxing ring when he fell. The game ends in a KO way. Time is frozen for 29 seconds in the first round.
"Good boy" Cosmo Alexander threw just two punches, and in less than half a minute he shattered Sych Northcat's dream of a triple crown. One punch can turn things around, and that's the beauty of fighting. Will the Super Saiyan come back after the worst defeat of his career? What will Alexander achieve in the future in sub-middle-heavy mixed martial arts?
We'll see.
