One Fight Night 28: Cordilleran fighter Carlo Bumina-ang knocks out South Korean opponent

Baguio City, Philippines—Carlo “The Bull” Bumina-ang achieved a remarkable first-round technical knockout victory against his South Korean opponent Song Min Jong in One Fight Night 28 at the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Thailand on Friday evening, February 7, 2025.

Bumina-ang pummeled his opponent with a flurry of strikes early in the round, prompting the official to stop the fight in just 53 seconds.

Bumina-angs’ win on Friday marked his strong comeback after suffering a defeat against Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu last August at ONE Fight Night 24.

Bumina-ang’s other achievements before his success in MMA

Bumina-ang, in his interview with the media, recalled that he began formal training in martial arts in 2017 because of the influence of his brother. At first, he wanted to become a basketball player, but he found his true calling in martial arts.

Reflecting on his earlier triumphs, Bumina-ang shared he won a silver medal in the Vovinam men’s 65 kg of the 31st Southeast Asian Games at Soc Son Gymnasium in Vietnam in 2022.

The Cordilleran fighter then brought home a bronze medal in kickboxing when he returned to the Southeast Asian Games in 2023 and continued to shine as he gained a double-gold medal feat at the 2023 Pan-Asian Gi & No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu International Open.

Bumina-ang resumed his MMA career through the weekly ONE Friday Fights series in 2023, in which he acquired consecutive victories.

Bumina-ang is currently a part of Team Lakay and now holds 6 wins and 1 loss MMA record. He has gained national recognition as a fighter with unwavering strength.
