Igor Svirid (10-1) captured the inaugural ONE FC middleweight championship by knocking out Leandro Ataides (8-1) in a mere 17 seconds in today’s ONE FC 22 headliner. The Kazakhstani fighter walked through his opponent with little difficulty as his first jab of the contest put Ataides on his back. He briefly survived and returned to his feet, but Svirid quickly jumped on his wobbled foe and threw a series of punches that rendered him unconscious. Svirid handed the previously unbeaten fighter his first loss, which came at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore. After falling short in his MMA debut in April 2011, Svirid has put together a 10-fight winning streak. However, no victory during that stretch was as meaningful as his title-winning effort against Ataides
