MANILA, Philippines—Former ONE World lightweight champion Eduard Folayang earned a technical decision win over Mongolia’s Amarsanaa Tsogookhuu in the co-main event of ONE: Masters of Fate Friday at Mall of Asia Arena.

Folayang and Tsogookhuu’s heads collided accidentally midway through the second round. Referee Kemp Cheng called for injury time after the Filipino bled profusely from a cut under his left eye.
