Things didn’t look good for Eric Kelly (11-1) in his bout with Rob Lisita (14-6), but a refusal to relent eventually earned “The Natural” a chance to score a surprising victory. The featherweight bout served as the featured contest of Friday’s “ONE FC 18: War of Dragons” event. Lisita was the aggressor from the outset, battering his foe punches kicks and knees as he forced Kelly to the floor and looked for submission opportunities. Kelly had one chance to reverse his fortunes in a scramble, as he briefly had a chance to take his opponent’s back, but Lisita scrambled and avoided the trouble spot as he continued the assault. In the second frame, Lisita blasted his opponent in the face, and Kelly’s nose instantly starting gushing blood
