Jakarta. Desi Rahayu shrugged off her nerve and took first win in her professional debut as she defeated Malaysia’s Ella Tang in unanimous decision at ONE FC: Era of Champions at Mata Elang International Stadium in Jakarta on Saturday night.
Desi made the best of her judo background to dominate her opponent in ground fight and almost took the submission win in the first round.
“I got kicked in my stomach by Ella in the first round, and I didn’t want it again. So, I tried to take her down. But my technique wasn’t perfect, and she could get away,” Desi said after the fight. “But I’m happy to win the fight. Before the fight, I could barely talk, and now all my burden is gone.”
In the second preliminary fight, Indonesia’s Zuli Silawanto lost to Mohammad Sotounzadeh in a knockout.
