World Victory Road held their latest event Sunday night in Japan, which was early Sunday morning for those of us in North America.

Sengoku Raiden Championship 13 was held at the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo, Japan and featured 13 bouts culminating with a main event title bout between champ Masanori Kanehara vs. challenger Marlon Sandro. SRC 13 also kicked off it’s Welterweight Grand Prix tournament.

With a stunning 38 second victory, challenger Sandro knocked out featherweight champ Kanehara to take the featherweight title. MMAFighting.com has the breakdown of the round as well as the full results.

SRC Featherweight Title Fight:
Marlon Sandro def. Masanori Kanehara by KO (Punches) – Round 1, 0:38
It took just 38 seconds for Marlon Sandro to take Masanori Kanehara’s feathweight belt. The bout started with Sandro immediately seizing control of the center of the ring with the defending champion circling around him, feigning jabs and attempting to gauge the speed difference. This circling did not last long though and as soon as Kanehara moved to the corner, Sandro moved in with a jab that that was blocked, followed by a right straight. The finishing blow, as is becoming the norm for the Nova Uniao black belt, was the right uppercut which landed cleanly and ended Kanehara’s night early. A following left hook from Sandro as Kanehara stiffly fell forward to the mat missed but was not needed. Kanehara was stretchered from the ring and did not regain consciousness until back stage and Sandro was awarded the featherweight title.

The full SRC 13 event results are as follows:
