Let’s relive these amazing moments with the best pictures from ONE Fight Night 8.
The ONE flyweight kickboxing crown will stay in Thailand after Superlek made a successful first world title defense with relative ease. The short-notice replacement Danial Williams fought valiantly and even got his licks in, but ‘The Kicking Machine’ was just on a whole different level.
After practically toying with ‘Mini T’ in the first two rounds, Superlek dropped him twice in Round 3.
In the co-main event, Allycia Hellen Rodrigues proved her victory over Stamp Fairtex was no fluke by outlasting one of the best female strikers on the planet today, Janet Todd.
After returning from an almost three-year hiatus, the proud mom-champ stormed back after a rough start and gave the ‘JT’ the toughest fight of her storied career.
After 15 minutes of intense Muay Thai action, the judges rewarded Rodrigues’ aggressiveness and constant pressure with a unanimous decision victory.
Meanwhile, Ham Seo Hee neutralized Itsuka Hirata’s grappling and completely outclassed her on the feet for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, Kyrgyzstani KO artist Akbar Abdullaev collected a $50,000 performance bonus after annihilating Oh Ho Taek in just 44 seconds.
Former ONE strawweight kickboxing world title challenger Zhang Peimian also showcased his growth with a bounce-back victory over Torepchi Dongak.
