Oh, man. Eddie didn’t win.
“I’m not going to challenge the referee’s decision, and you guys should do the same too, okay?” were Eddie’s words to the shell-shocked crowd on fight night a while back – ONE FC: Honor and Glory.
It was disappointment and frustration all around, and for a while you’d think that the worst person to be in the world was the referee who was responsible for putting the stop to Eddie’s bout with Vincent Latoel.
Admittedly, I was in total disbelief as well. Only 1 out of the 7 fights before Eddie’s made it to 3 rounds of fighting. Most had ended within the first round, and one finished as a no-contest when Chi Lewis Parry delivered an accidental low blow to fellow heavyweight Alain Ngalani.
The 2 bouts in the preliminary card warmed up the stadium, and the atmosphere was electric by the time Singapore’s very own Radeem Rahman stepped into the cage. The crowd was delighted when referee Yuji Shimada enforced a stoppage in round 2, allowing Rahman to become the only Singaporean to notch 2 wins in the ONE FC cage.
The night ended on a sweet note for ONE FC and also EVOLVE MMA, as 2 of their fighters emerged victorious that night. Pucci’s and Eddie’s losses disappointed the local crowd, but the two were matched up against much more experienced opponents, and both are young contenders with impressive track records. Fans will surely look forward to the next time they enter the cage.
