ONE flyweight submission grappling world champion Diogo Reis of Brazil extended his unbeaten promotional record at ONE Fight Night 43.

‘Baby Shark’ moved up to bantamweight and chomped through Yuki Takahashi’s defenses on May 15 at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Reis controlled virtually every minute of the 10-minute contest. The 24-year-old phenom could do no wrong. He dominated the match with powerful takedowns and slick guard passes.

From his back, Reis performed incredible sweeps and back takes while threatening with submissions throughout. The Japanese star proved to be tough and survived, but Reis was the clear-cut winner after the horn sounded.

What made the performance even more impressive was how tailored it looked. Reis came in with a clear blueprint, and he executed it with precision.

Speaking to ONE Championship after the fight, Reis shared his approach.

“During the fight, it was totally different from what I was expecting,” he said. “But it was worthwhile. When I have to fight just one guy, it’s easier to train. So all the training is directed towards the guy that I’m gonna face, and I did great.”

Diogo Reis’ professional record improved to 95-12 after securing his third victory in the home of martial arts.

The two-time ADCC world champion has a lot of options on the table, with a bantamweight title shot or a flyweight title defense both available.

Diogo Reis couldn’t be any happier competing in ONE Championship.

‘Baby Shark’ thrives when the lights shine the brightest, and there’s no better stage for a man of his talents.

“It’s always great fighting in ONE,” Reis said, “and also I had a great performance and showed some skills that I was drilling in my gym, so it’s cool. I was focused more on leg lock defense, you know? Also attacking, trying to develop some new submissions like armbar and also foot locking.”
