Hopes were high for one of Singapore’s finest martial artists at “ONE Championship 109: King of the Jungle,” but Amir Khan ’s return to action on home soil didn’t go his way. Khan (12-7) faced Japanese ONE Warrior Series graduate Kimihiro Eto in the top-billed MMA bout at Singapore Indoor Stadium on Feb. 28. The event was held behind closed doors due to the ongoing coronavirus crisis in the region, but the lack of a paying crowd didn’t dampen Eto’s enthusiasm as he took the fight to Khan and imposed his grappling game to secure a quickfire finish.
