Garry Tonon ’s anticipated MMA debut proved that the grappling standout is taking his new sport seriously. Tonon (1-0) today met Richard Corminal (4-4) in a lightweight bout at ONE Championship 70, which took place at Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand, and it streamed as an online pay-per-view in North America. Although his world-class grappling allowed Tonon to establish mount position and finish Corminal with elbows for the second-round TKO, his striking stood out throughout the bout. Tonon not only dropped Corminal with a right hand in the opening frame, but a flurry of vicious elbows eventually forced the referee to stop the action at the 3:40 mark of Round 2.
