E.T. Ting Makes a Splash in a Nail‑Biting Clash With Tarzan Sexton
In a lightweight bout that had the crowd on the edge of their seats, Malaysia’s own Ev “E.T.” Ting pulled a gritty win over Costa Rica’s Ariel “Tarzan” Sexton. The fight, which went the full 15‑minute canvas, was a showcase of heart, hustle and high‑octane striking.
What Went Down
- Kick‑off: From the moment the referee gave the green light, Tarzan was chomping at the bit. He tried to angle his kicks against Ting, while the Malaysian kept his feet planted and sent hard punches flying.
- Round Two: E.T. switched gears. After a low kick from Sexton, Ting surprised everyone by taking him to the mat—only to spring back up in a flash. One flying knee from Tarzan kept him in the mix, but E.T.’s refusal to stay down kept the pacing in his favor.
- The Final Push: In round three, Ting leveraged his low‑kick arsenal and threw a punch punch‑punch‑pow that landed heavy. Twin takedowns and a near‑miss D’Arce choke from Tarzan kept the bell ringing, but the Malaysian’s top‑position strikes won the day.
Why the Decision Had a Split Pulse
The judges had to kneel for a moment when the three‑minute rounds ended. Each fighter delivered slices of heavy blows—E.T.’s spinning backfist, Tarzan’s thunderous athletic kicks—and the scoreboard stayed tight. The pair raised their hands as the final bell rang, a signal of mutual respect and a promise that the title picture is back on the table for E.T..
What Happens Next?
Ting now sits at a 15‑4 record, eyeing that coveted Lightweight World Championship. With a division stacked with talent, he’ll need another big win (or two) to secure a title shot. Sexton, meanwhile, keeps his 11‑4 streak—his loss a lesson learned, not a defeat. The next round of big match‑ups will see him chasing the stars again.
In short, it was an unforgettable evening of fighting that reminded us all: when the gloves come down, drama never sleeps.
