ONE Friday Fights 117 results and recap: Yod-IQ shines in three-round banger alongside Alessio Malatesta

Yod-IQ Or Pimolsri passed yet another tough assignment on ONE Friday Fights for his eighth win in succession inside the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on July 25.

The Thai warrior squared off against Italian firecracker Alessio Malatesta in a bantamweight Muay Thai matchup, which headlined ONE Friday Fights 117.

Their three-round war featured plenty of action from both parties. Yod-IQ came out of the gates looking to establish his heavy-pressure style. While he succeeded in pushing the Team Malatesta man into reverse gear, the Italian's courage was second to none.

The 23-year-old absorbed each of Yod-IQ's demonizing combinations, and used it to load up counters at full speed that stunned the PK Saenchai Muaythaigym product.

Despite the occasional success he had, it was more or less another brilliant nine minutes from the in-form "Art of Eight Limbs" specialist.

Yod-IQ's timing allowed him to sneak in counters. If that didn't work, he mixed it up with kicks, elbows, and teeps down the middle to leave a lasting impression as the match came to an end.

After a back-and-forth three-round scrap, the Thai slugger left the Mecca of Muay Thai with his hand raised. The win improved his overall record to 125-36.
