Avizo Lanamai of Nagaland has secured a split decision victory over Bihar’s Shyamanand in a featherweight clash at Matrix Fight Night 18 on May 2 at the Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Sports Complex.
Representing The Combat Academy Nagaland and Kaizen MMA Bangalore, Lanamai was pushed to the limit across three gruelling rounds.

The win has lifted Lanamai’s professional record to 5-1 and marked his third consecutive victory, further solidifying his rise in India’s competitive featherweight ranks.
