MANILA, Philippines—Jhanlo Sangiao had a dominating debut in his international career, submitting Indonesian veteran Paul Lumihi via rear naked choke 1:41 into the first round of their bantamweight bout in ONE: Winter Warriors 2 Friday at Singapore Indoor Stadium.
The son of Team Lakay patriarch Mark Sangiao, Jhanlo came out of the gates fast landing two quick hooks.
After absorbing a crisp left hook from Lumihi, Jhanlo went back to his offense pestering the 33-year-old with more punches before shooting for a takedown.
