Debut in ONE Gasanov held in October 2022, defeating Kim Jai Wung (13-8) via submission in the first round. The Russian still remains undefeated, having scored 13 wins in his career, including 11 ahead of schedule. The representative of the Dagestan wrestling school, Gasanov, should have won most of his victories (78%) by submission.
Titled grappler Harry Tonon represents Renzo Gracie’s team and is 71-28 in bjj. In MMA, he follows it up with seven wins and one loss, having picked up 7 wins ahead of schedule. Thonon has had eight MMA fights in ONE, losing the penultimate fight to Tan Lee (13-3). He redeemed himself with a 7-3 submission victory over Jonathan Martinez, who played in the WSOF and Bellator.
Gasanov highly appreciates the opponent’s combat arsenal:
– He lost to the champion, so he shouldn’t be written off because of that loss. He and I are grapplers, and we’re dangerous in combat until the last second of battle, until we’re knocked out. We’re still looking for a way out of a painful hold, so you can’t lose focus in combat for a second, Gasanov quotes ONE.
After beating division number two Tonon Hasanov, who sits fifth in the standings, may soon be eligible to challenge for the league title. Gasanov understands the importance of the upcoming battle, but doesn’t feel any additional pressure:
– I will just log into the fight like regular sparring and enter the ring with a cool head. I will just do my job, but I will advise the fans not to look around, otherwise they will miss the most interesting thing,” Gasanov said.
