Bomogao "Islays" Japanese foe in her ONE Championship debut fight
Filipina Muay Thai fighter Islay Erika Bomogao's birthday wish has been granted as she won her debut in ONE Championship against her Japanese foe, Fuu.
One of her dreams has been fulfilled when she entered the ONE Championship ring, and it became more special when she got the win during her natal day.
The Muay Thai fighter from the Philippines earned a unanimous decision to win over her Japanese opponent on Friday night at the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Bomogao's opponent came out swinging which momentarily caught by Filipina fighter off guard. It did not take long for the Filipina to adjust, and she threw sneaky kicks up top while unleashing quick punches and elbows.
The Japanese fighter pressed the action in round two, but it was Bomogao who landed cleaner with her counterstriking.
Fuu continued to move forward in the third and final round but was mostly on the receiving end of Bomogao's lengthy kicks that kept her at bay.
