Roman Kryklia gets the $50,000 bonus!

Official result: Roman Kryklia defeats Alex Roberts via KO (left hook) at 0:25 of round two to claim the ONE Heavyweight Muay Thai World Title

Roman Kryklia is now a double-champ!

Roberts dodges the overhand right but Kryklia catches him with a devastating left hook!

Kryklia finds the target! Roberts is out! The Roman Empire remains supreme!

Roberts immediately jumps on Kryklia at the start of the match. These two big men, however, look as fast as lightweights. Kryklia finds the target and sends Roberts down! Kryklia lands a body kick, and Roberts recovers quickly. Kryklia finds the target with his jab and straight, Roberts clocks Kryklia with a variation of a Superman punch. Roberts launches a looping overhand, but Kryklia dodges. End of the first.

Official result: Jo Nattawut defeats Luke Lessei via unanimous decision (Muay Thai – featherweight)

Start of the third round and these two are swinging for the fences! Nattawut still on fire, Lessei also on fire! Nattawut continues to chop at the body, but he goes up top with a cross. Nattawut pushes Lessei back with a level change in his punch combinations. Lessei finds the target with his laser-like straights. Spinning back elbow by Lessei! Nattawut answers with a two-punch combo! Lessei firing back and pushes Nattawut back! These two are gassed out! But they are firing! What a fight! We go to the judges!

Both fighters maintain this ungodly pace in the second round. Nattawiut and Lessei are throwing! Elbows, punch combinations! These two are looking for that show-stopping KO! Nattawut blasts Lessei with hook combinations to the body! Lessei responds up top! Nattawut now goes to the head! Lessei now wearing the crimson mask after Nattawut's punishment! Lessei firing back with his elbows! Lessei rocks Nattawith with a right elbow! Nattawut piling on the pressure on the corner!

Lessei immediately fires, Nattawut responds with the same pace. Lessei using that length to keep Nattawut at bay, but the Thai star far too cunning for the American. Lessei connects with a front kick but his left leg is bleeding after getting tagged several times with Nattawut's low kicks. These two are throwing! No feeling out process from these two in the opening round.

Jo Nattawut vs. Luke Lessei at featherweight Muay Thai is up next.

Official result: Mohamed Younes Rabah defeats Saemapetch Fairtex via KO (punch combo) at 2:29 of round one (Muay Thai – catchweight 151.75 lbs)

Saemapetch is too smart and wily to be bothered by the 6-foot-2 Rabah's height and length advantage. Rabah charges in but the 5-foot-8 Saemapetch clocks him with a left hook! Rabah answers with his own knockdown! Rabah again! Saemapetch is out! Upset win for the ONE debutante!

Saemapetch vs. Mohamed Younes Rabah at catchweight (151.75 lbs) Muay Thai is up next.

These two are swinging in the opening 10 seconds. Menshikov rocks Chafi with a hook. Despite Chafi holding a noticeable length and height advantage, he's fighting at short distance.

Jacob Smith gets the $50,000 bag!

Correction: It was a short knee to the body that knocked Goncalves out.

Official result: Jacob Smith defeats Walter Goncalves via KO (knee to the body) at 2:54 of round one (Muay Thai – flyweight)

Smith is looking quick early on in the fight. The British star is looking to impose his game plan early in this one. Goncalves finally goes in the attack with a couple of leg kicks, but Smith locks in the clinch. Smith sneaks in a short elbow to the gut! That's it! What an upset for the British slugger!

Walter Goncalves vs. Jacob Smith at flyweight Muay Thai is up next.
