Asadula Imangazaliev Delivers Stunning Knockout Against Legendary Nong-O in Bangkok
Bangkok, Thailand: ONE Championship (ONE) concluded its action-packed weekend events at Lumpinee Stadium with ONE Friday Fights 147. This electrifying card culminated in the highly anticipated main event featuring Nong-O Hama against Asadula Imangazaliev.
Russian sensation Asadula Imangazaliev delivered a truly spectacular performance, overcoming the legendary former ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion, Nong-O Hama, in the evening’s headliner.
Despite failing his pre-fight hydration tests, which rendered him ineligible to win the divisional gold, the rapidly rising Dagestani star Imangazaliev still stepped into the ring and made a powerful statement at the expense of a true icon in Muay Thai.
From the very first round, Imangazaliev immediately unleashed a dizzying array of unconventional techniques, including a sharp axe kick that visibly rattled his opponent. He constantly switched stances, effectively disrupting the Thai legend's rhythm and preventing him from finding his flow.
Kicking off the second round, the dynamic Russian fighter aggressively pushed the pace, making it impossible for Nong-O to get close enough to mount any significant offensive attacks. Capitalizing on his advantage, Imangazaliev then landed a thunderous left hook squarely on Nong-O’s chin, knocking the legendary Thai fighter out cold at just 0:44 into the round.
Following his impressive victory, Imangazaliev wasted no time in calling out former divisional king Rodtang “The Iron Man” Jitmuangnon for a potential ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title showdown.
