ONE Championship is back this week on February 10 with ONE Friday Fights 4. The main event is expected to produce fireworks as two Muay Thai warriors, Duangsompong Jitmuangnon and Batman Or.Atchariya, will go to battle.

Below we have listed the three best performances at ONE Friday Fights so far.


#3. Elbrus Amirkhanovich against Paedsanlek PK.Saenchai

Russia's Elbrus Amirkhanovich made a stunning debut in ONE Championship. At ONE Friday Fights 3, he faced Paedsanlek PK.Saenchai in a bantamweight kickboxing match.

Amirkhanovich needed less than two minutes to end the match. At 1:41 of Round 1, the 21-year-old Russian landed a spinning back kick on Paedsanlek's solar plexus and the Thai fighter was unable to recover.


#2. Seksan Or. Kwanmuang and Tyson Harrison

It was an unforgettable Muay Thai war between 'The Man Who Yields to No One' Seksan Or. Kwanmuang and Tyson Harrison at ONE Friday Fights 1. Social media could not stop talking about the match as it was going down.

The Thai fighter did not back down against the heavy-handed Australian. There were bombs landing, massive swings in momentum, and heart-pounding action throughout the match. It was such a stunning war that Seksan was awarded a $50,000 performance bonus from ONE Championship for his split-decision win.

#1. Nong-O Gaiyanghadao against Alaverdi Ramazanov - ONE Friday Fights 1 Main Event

Muay Thai great Nong-O Gaiyanghadao had a stiff test at the Lumpinee Stadium during the main event of the inaugural show. The Thai star faced former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion Alaverdi Ramazanov.

The ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title was on the line and both men fought knowing what was at stake. The longer and taller Ramazanov had success early, controlling the pace and landing heavy shots.

But as the fight went on, the Muay Thai veteran Nong-O began to take over. He would drop his Russian opponent with a body strike in the third round, which Ramazanov was unable to recover from. This knockout win was Nong-O's seventh world title defense in a row and it netted him a $50,000 performance bonus from ONE.
