Fans tuning into the ONE Championship 38: Clash of Heroes event on Friday were served up a reminder that "Pride (or at least Pride rules) never die" as long as the Singapore-based MMA promotion exists.
The flyweight bout between Geje Eustaquio and Saiful Merican ended with a devastating first-round finish, with Eustaquio sending his Malaysian opponent crashing down to the mat with a left hook on the button.
