Some of Malaysia’s up-and-coming Mixed Martial Artists fought this past Saturday night in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on an Amateur fight card that featured multiple title bouts. The Malaysian Invasion Mixed Martial Arts, MIMMA for short, is the biggest Amateur league of any kind in the Asian region, paving the way for future MMA fighters.
MIMMA Final quick results: Davis suffers upset against Sexton
The event was triple-headed by ONE FC Super Fights. Peter Davis (6-2), a crowd-favorite, suffered his first loss in 5 fights as he went down to BJJ Black-Belt, Ariel Sexton. Full Contact Championship’s Aditya Deshpande (3-1), in the meantime, dropped a Unanimous Decision defeat in his co-main event slot against Muay Thai extraordinaire, Saiful Merican (1-1). That loss for Deshpande was his first, which also snapped a 3-fight winning streak he was on prior to the bout.
Elsewhere, Edward Kelly (1-0), the brother of Eric Kelly, continued his perfect start to his professional MMA career by decisioning Tanaphong Khunhankaew (2-1).
