ONE Fight Night 26 marked the return of double ONE world champion Christian Lee after a two-year self-imposed break to mourn a family tragedy. He hardly showed any rust in his comeback when he defended the lightweight MMA gold against undefeated Turkish challenger Alibeg Rasulov.
'The Warrior' was making inroads in the contest when he accidentally poked the eye of Rasulov in the closing seconds of the second round. The match was halted for officials to check on Rasulov, who after some discussion was ruled unable to continue, leaving the match a no contest with Lee retaining his title.
The event also saw Brazilian grappling ace Mayssa Bastos retaining the atomweight submission world title with another convincing decision victory over former divisional queen Danielle Kelly on their title rematch.
Algerian sniper Elias Mahmoudi, meanwhile, had one of the electrifying performances at ONE Fight Night 26, willing his way to a last-second knockour victory over veteran striker Denis Puric. The 26-year-old Mahmoudi gym standout went on a rampage as the third and final round wrapped up, unleashing ferocious punches, elbows and knees to knock out 'The Bosnian Menace'.
Also coming up with impressive finishes were ONE submission grappling newcomers Cole Abate and Dante Leon, who were submission winners over veterans Shinya Aoki and Bruno Pucci, respectively.
Thongpoon PK Saenchai, for his part, halted a two-fight skid with a dominant TKO win over Danial Williams in their strawweight Muay Thai clash, knocking down the Australian three times in the second round.
