ONE Championship's debut on TNT was marred by a bit of controversy on Thursday when Eddie Alvarez was disqualified for hitting Iuri Lapicus on the back of the head.

Demetrious Johnson, who came in as a favourite, was knocked out by Adriano Moraes, who became the first man to finish off the American and defend his Flyweight title.

Flyweight Muay Thai champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon won a unanimous decision against Danial Williams in a three round slugfest.
