ONE Fight Night 31 results: Liam Nolan vs Abolfazl Alipourandi

UK fan favorite Liam Nolan returned to the legendary Lumpinee Stadium on Friday night, determined to climb back into the win column at ONE Fight Night 31 on Prime Video.

Standing in his way was Abolfazl Alipourandi, an Iranian newcomer looking to make his mark on martial arts’ biggest global stage.

Round 1: Alipourandi comes out aggressive early and clinches up against the ropes. On the break, Nolan throws a high kick, but he’s just out of range. Nolan throws another head kick that gets through Alipourandi’s guard. Alipourandi gives him one right back against the ropes, and it connects clean, starching Nolan and sending him crashing to the canvas.

No follow-up shots are necessary as the referee recognizes that Nolan is out cold and calls for the stoppage just under the one-minute mark of the opening round.
