ONE Fight Night 29: Early results from Bangkok

ONE Championship returned to the legendary Lumpinee Stadium on Friday night for a stacked ONE Fight Night 29 card headlined by a ONE atomweight Muay Thai world title clash.

Reigning champion Allycia Hellen Rodrigues put her 26 pounds of gold on the line against rising UK prospect Marie McManamon in the evening's main event while Thai fan favorite Rambolek meets Iranian knockout artist Parham Gheirati in the co-main. But first, fans inside the Mecca of Muay Thai and those watching around the world were treated to nine epic scraps.

First up was a catchweight Muay Thai clash between Ireland’s Stefan Korodi and Japan’s Katsuki Kitano. After three entertaining and bloody rounds, Korodi was declared the winner via unanimous decision.

Next up was a submission grappling showdown between Shoya Ishiguro and Diogo Reis. Just past the six-minute mark of the matchup, Reis cinched in a kimura, forcing Ishiguro to tap out. It was an impressive debut performance for Reis who handed Ishiguro his first loss under the ONE Championship banner.

In the third fight of the evening, China’s Banma Duoji scored his first knockout in ONE, finishing Joshua Perreira in the opening round with a flurry of strikes after Perreira appeared to injure his knee less than a minute into the contest

Nontachai Jitmuangnon kept the heavy hits coming and secured his third straight win at ONE Fight Night 29, landing a unanimous decision W over Arian Esparza.

Uzbekistan sensation Sanzhar Zakirov extended his unbeaten streak via a vicious second-round ground-and-pound knockout of Eko Roni Saputra in their catchweight MMA bout. Zakirov is now a perfect 5-0 in ONE with three of his victories coming by way of knockout.

In one of the most exciting scraps of the evening, Polish newcomer Martyna Kierczynska defied the oddsmakers, scoring a stunning split-decision victory over Yu Yau Pui. Both ladies delivered the goods in a blood-soaked back-and-forth brawl, but in the end, it was Kierczynska who came out on top by the narrowest of margins.

Fourth-ranked bantamweight MMA contender Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu added another big win to his resume, defeating 28-year-old Jeremy Pacatiw. Baatarkhuu is now 6-1 in ONE and extends his current unbeaten streak to three.

Undefeated Turkish star Shamil Erdogan delivered another highlight-reel-worthy performance on martial arts’ biggest global stage, earning a TKO over Gilbert Galvao in just 41 seconds. Erdogan improved his overall record to 11-0 with his last four wins all coming under the ONE banner. Erdogan also scored himself another $50,000 bonus from ONE CEO Chatri Sityodtong for his quick-fire finish.

In the ninth fight of the evening, Soe Lin Oo and Dmitri Kovtun went to war in a three-round Muay Thai battle. Despite an onslaught from Soe in the third round, the early work from Kovtun was enough to earn him a unanimous decision victory over the Lethwei legend.
