Artem Belakh, who expected Kwon Won Il to become a passing opponent, couldn’t move the Korean fighter from the fourth row in the bantamweight division. Base batter Van Il did a good job defending against submissions, which was evident in the first round. In the second, working hard with hooks to Belakh’s body, he forced him down and sent him with a direct kick to the ground, finishing his opponent in the fourth minute. After the victory, he challenged the champion Fabrizio Andrade in combat.
But Ilya Freimanov bet on his grappling and did not lose: he won the second victory in a row and received a bonus of $ 50,000 in the promotion for the second time in a row. In the first round, a Mongolian striker, Shinechagtga Zoltsetseg, knocked down Freimanov, which didn’t stop Ilya from healing Zoltsetseg with a knee strike. He then moved the fight to the ground and performed a flawless rear naked choke. In a post-fight interview, Freimanov challenged the division’s top number Tan Li. The fight was held under the rules of MMA in the featherweight division.
Mansur Malachiev demonstrated the full force of Dagestan’s wrestling in a duel under MMA rules against Filipino star Jeremy Miado, who could have won a title fight in a fight or two. But previously undefeated debutant Malachiev, who became Eagle FC champions in Russia, showed excellent controlling and defensive skills early in the first round. At the end of the first round, he was able to land a D’Arcy choke and snap Miado’s four-game winning streak. Malachiev’s record now stands at 11-0 and he could well get a strawweight division top 3 fighter in the next few opponents.
In the main fight of the evening, which was held at lightweight under the rules of Muay Thai, Prokopyevsk debutant Dmitry Menshikov failed to take the belt from champion Regian Ayersil. Undefeated for six years, Menshikov himself called Ayersil and got him – the ONE champion in kickboxing and muay thai – for his debut. But from the first minute, the representative of the Dutch school Ayersil beat Menchikov, responding to his series of low kicks with a blow to the head. Referee Oliver Coste stopped the fight at 00:48 of the first round, noting that Menshikov could not stand firmly on his feet. For the past seven years, no one has been able to defeat Ayersil. He currently has 22 consecutive wins. For a brilliant knockout, he received a bonus of $50,000.
In total, ONE President Chatri Sityodtong handed out bonuses to four fighters during the tournament. Besides Freimanov and Eyersil, they were received by Van Il for the victory over Belakh and Superbon for the KO of Typhoon Ozkan.
