Jadambaa Returns With a Thunderous Knock‑Out
Narantungalag “Tungaa” Jadambaa sat in the shadows of the ONE cage since November 2016. But when he stepped back into the octagon on June 23rd, it felt like he’d never left.
Setting the Stage
- Venue: Macau’s Studio City Event Center – a place where the lights buzzed and the crowd was mostly Filipino.
- Opponent: Edward “The Ferocious” Kelly, a 34‑year‑old Filipino fighter who brought the thunder from the start.
- Jadambaa’s mindset: “Show ‘em I’ve been training in my sleep.”
The First Round: Quick Fire
Both fighters threw power punches that could have rapped the cage. Tashia‑old Jadambaa, at 42, kept a calm swagger that reminded everyone he’s still got something left in his chest.
During the early seconds, Jadambaa pressed aggressively and even strutted a few judo‑style takedowns. He landed a bang‑sized right hand that sent Kelly sprawling onto his pad. By the bell, Kelly was on his back, as if a marshmallow had landed on a pillow.
Second Round: The Clout Moves
Jadambaa, refusing to wilt, pushed on. He managed a no‑no‑north‑south choke that made Kelly gasp like a cat. Real quick, Kelly tucked his arms tight and slipped free, only to be brought down again by the Mongolian.
Despite the takedown, Kelly fought back, clawing his way from the ground back to his feet. A push‑and‑pull drama unfolded: Jadambaa outmaneuvered the crowd’s cheers, moved to keep the distance, but it was too late. The Mongolian’s choke force brought Kelly back yawning wide open.
The Finale: Ground & Pound Victory
Jadambaa’s strategy was simple: take the fight, stay on the top, and keep on pounding. When Kelly finally gained control of the back, the Mongolian wasted no beat. He slid to the mount and delivered a barrage of clean strikes.
With a clock still ticking, the referee had no choice but to wave the hand at the end of the round and declare a second‑round TKO.
Champion’s Resurgence
Jadambaa now boasts a record of 13‑5 – a solid formula that has fans excited. But beyond the win, the game is about power moves and, importantly, positioning himself for a title shot against Martin “The Situ‑Asian” Nguyen.
For those watching, the single impression is clear: Jadambaa has returned, sharper than ever, and the world title is within his grasp.
