The Team Lakay standout had this to say following his spectacular victory at ONE Fight Night 33 last Friday, July 11, inside the legendary Lumpinee Stadium.

The 23-year-old returned to winning ways emphatically last week. He forced Shinechagtga Zoltsetseg to tap to a rear-naked choke at 4:42 of the third round in their bantamweight MMA duel in Bangkok, Thailand.

Following his triumphant outing, Jhanlo Mark Sangiao told the promotion:

'The Machine's' professional approach to letting the organization handle matchmaking shows a mature mindset that has served him well throughout his career.

His dominant performance against the Mongolian veteran showcased a complete skill set, as he systematically broke down his opponent with relentless takedowns and ground control before securing the submission finish.

More importantly, the victory pushed Sangiao's record to 7-1 overall, while maintaining his perfect 100 percent finishing rate—a testament to his ability to end fights against quality opposition.
