The 36-year-old Mongolian submitted Fabricio Andrade via a fourth-round rear-naked choke to capture the ONE Bantamweight MMA World Title. Their world title tilt headlined ONE Fight Night 38 on Friday, December 5, inside Bangkok's legendary Lumpinee Stadium.

Moments after referee Olivier Coste raised his hand, 'The Tormentor' found words for the fallen Brazilian champion who'd pushed him to his absolute limits for almost 17 action-packed minutes.

"There's no word for me to explain how I feel now. It's incredible. Fabricio, you are so good. I'm so tired now," Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu declared in his post-fight interview.
