Japanese atomweight mixed martial arts sensation and ONE Championship fifth-ranked atomweight MMA contender Chihiro Sawada turned in a sublime submission victory at the recently concluded ONE Fight Night 33: Rodrigues vs. Persson on Prime Video last weekend.
Sawada took care of business against Argentina's Macarena Aragon, winning via first-round armbar in front of a raucous Lumpinee Stadium crowd craving world-class martial arts action.
It was a much-needed bounce-back win for the Japanese star who was met with recent adversity.
Sawada made her debut in the world's largest martial arts organization in February of 2023, and quickly railed off three straight victories. But earlier this year, she ran into Chinese star Meng Bo, and suffered her first defeat in ONE.
