Regian Eersel claimed his second title in ONE Championship with a narrow split decision victory against Sinsamut Klinmee.
The 29-year-old met Thailand’s Klinmee in the co-main event of ONE on Prime Video 3 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Already the promotion’s lightweight champion in kickboxing, Eersel was making the jump over to Muay Thai in a bid for another title.
The opening round ended up setting the tone for a closely contested bout that saw long periods of low-output punctuated by sudden flurries from both men. Each fighter clearly respected the other’s power from the start, but through the first couple rounds Eersel appeared to be controlling the cage while Klinmee focused on landing frequent kicks to the legs and body.
The 26-year-old Thai started to have more success through the middle of the bout, and although “The Immortal” continued holding the center of the cage Klinmee started to more actively burst away from the fence with big combinations.
Eersel appeared comfortable landing counter strikes through the majority of the fight, but in the last 30 seconds both men bit down on their mouthpieces and started throwing wild strikes in the center of the cage.
The two fighters both raised their arms in victory at the final bell, but it was Eersel who was given the split decision nod from the judges.
Eersel’s fight with Klinmee was the co-main event of the ONE on Prime Video 3 main card, which was headlined by a bantamweight title bout between John Lineker and Fabricio de Andrade.
