ONE Championship returned to the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok for ONE Fight Night 19 on Prime Video. In the main event of the evening, two-sport titleholder Jonathan Haggerty put his bantamweight Muay Thai world championship on the line against Brazilian knockout artist Felipe Lobo.
But first, fans were treated to a series of exciting matchups kicked off by a strawweight Muay Thai showdown between Thongpoon PK Saenchai and Timur Chuikov, which kicked off the organization’s second Fight Night of 2024 in American primetime live from the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
It only took the Thai star 97 seconds to finish Chuikov with a barrage of strikes that knocked his open down three consecutive times in the opening round. With the impressive win, the Thai star gained the first US$50,000 bonus of the evening.
In the second bout of the evening, Russian standout and No.5-ranked contender Mansur Malachiev got back into the win column with a unanimous decision victory over former ONE strawweight MMA world champion Yosuke Saruta. Malachiev moved to 12-1 overall.
