The final frame was on a knife edge, with the striking pair trading punches back and forth for three minutes. Ultimately, though, Chartpayak’s early knockdown and overall output earned him the majority decision win, and he moved to 5-0 in ONE Championship and 66-15 in his career.

The Bumrungsit gym standout went toe-to-toe with Nuapet, and both fighters refused to sag under the pressure of kicks, punches, knees, and elbows that they readily exchanged for nine minutes.
However, Petlampun managed to stay ahead throughout. He scored both first and last to rack up the points and win over the judges.
In the end, the 28-year-old walked away with the unanimous decision victory, which moved his record to 89-21 overall.

The unbeaten Russian stepped on the gas right away and punished his opposite man with lethal high kicks.
The rapid start left Gingsanglek scrambling, and his response played right into his foe’s hand. The Thai star threw kicks in return, but he was met with a fatal counter right hook from Bikrev that connected and ended the contest at 1:45 of round one.
With the debut KO win, the City of Fighters and Kuzbass MuayThai star moved to 7-0 overall.
Yodseksan Emerges From Three-Round War With Debut Win
Yodseksan Rodsuayjajed learned that ONE Friday Fights never provides an easy path to a US$100,000 contract with ONE Championship in his very first appearance.
The 19-year-old was tasked with taking on a wiry yet tough Jaipet Singha Mawynn in 134-pound catchweight Muay Thai action in his promotional debut, and he only narrowly escaped with a split-decision win.
Yodseksan looked ferocious early on as he decorated Jaipet’s body with knuckle imprints. But the surge of excitement that comes with competing at Lumpinee began to take a noticeable toll as the fight progressed, and the man from Rodsuayjajed began to wilt.
Luckily, his corner injected him with a surge of motivation before the final round, and he came back strong to get the nod from two of the three judges at ringside, which moved his overall record to 43-18.
Chatpichit KOs Nueaphet In Third Round After Intense FirefightAn absolute classic ensued when Chatpichit Sor Sor Toipadriew took on Nueaphet Kelasport in 113-pound catchweight Muay Thai, and it ended in appropriate fashion.
Early on, Chatpichit landed the better strikes, and he took control of the bout with lethal short elbows.
But the battle sprung to life in the second frame when Nueaphet dropped his foe with a head kick. When the action resumed, the Thai pair went hell for leather for the remainder of the round.
The crowd was on the edge of their seats heading into round three, and Chatpichit gave them exactly what they were looking for when he regained control and put Nueaphet down for good with a huge left hand at the 1:42 mark.
The bout was waved off, and the SorSorToipadriew man moved his career slate to 60-16 with the KO win.
Mahesuan Pummels Panlam To Score First-Round TKOMahesuan Aekmuangnon might be the toughest kid in the schoolyard, but he still knows how to play by the rules.
The 24-year-old Thai exploited ONE’s convention that three knockdowns in a round equates to an automatic TKO when he snuffed out Panlam Sor Sommai in round one of their atomweight Muay Thai fight.
Mahesuan scored the first two knockdowns on his compatriot with straight-right punches, but his left hook was the zinger midway through the first frame. It connected with venom and hit the reset button on Panlam at the 2:36 mark, bringing an end to proceedings.
With the victory, the Singpatong fighter bagged his 79th career win.
Nontachai Ends Kovtun In Two-Round BarnburnerNontachai Jitmuangnon was all business as he extended his promotional run to 2-0 with a second-round knockout against Dmitrii Kovtun in 150-pound catchweight Muay Thai.
The Thai scrapper set the pace early on, getting the better of the Russian. The fight was frantic but Nontachai continued to make Kovtun miss and make him pay with plenty of punching combinations.
Picking up where he left off, the 25-year-old pressed Kovtun once more, stamping his face like a ransom note with the fatal right hand at 2:39 of round two.
Nontachai improved to 49-10 overall.
Osaki Showcases Near-Perfect ONE Friday Fights DebutIn the evening’s sole strawweight kickboxing fight, Koki Osaki obliterated Huo Xiaolong to move his striking record to 35-7.
Osaki put the pressure on Huo, tracking the Chinese fighter around the ring and roughing him up with step-in knees.
But it was Osaki’s right hand that floored Huo for an eight-count. Huo answered the referee’s call, but things only got worse for him and better for Osaki.
The pride of Japan used his thunderous right body kicks to welt Huo’s rib cage while simultaneously keep him from attacking.
In the end, the tactics and early knockdown were enough to earn Osaki the nod from all three judges.
Bomogao Outclasses Fuu In ONE DebutIslay Erika Bomogao was cool, calm, and collected as she cruised past Fuu to secure the win in their 100-pound catchweight Muay Thai.
The ONE Championship debutant was loose with her looping hooks and head kicks, and she countered whatever Fuu threw at her in round one.
Bomogao felt the pressure from her Japanese opponent in the second frame, but she frequently landed teep kicks to keep her at bay.
The Team Bagsik star then dominated in the final minutes by adding looping left hooks to the dangerous teep kicks, and this was enough to pick up the unanimous decision win.
Carlsson Outlasts Hansen With Determined Performance
Moa Carlsson upped her striking record to 15-5 after a gritty showing in her atomweight Muay Thai duel with Celest Hansen.
Carlsson struck hard right away, damaging Hansen along the nose and under the eyes. Pumping out her jabs and following them up with blistering straight rights, “The X-Guard” hinged back her foe’s head like it was a PEZ dispenser.
To her credit, Hansen ate them up, marched into the fray, and kept pressuring Carlsson, but the Swedish fighter never failed to deliver, even while off the back foot.
But Carlsson’s output throughout the three-round affair was enough to get her the unanimous decision in the end.
Alvarez Impresses With Second-Round Stoppage Of AlievCarlos Alvarez got back to winning ways in his featherweight MMA matchup against Mirza Aliev.
The Team Lakay star’s talents shone early on as he dropped his Turkish opponent (with what strike???) and then maintained a dominant position on the ground for the remainder of the opening round.
Alvarez went right back to the well when round two kicked off. He took Aliev to the mat and drowned him with pressure attempting submissions attempts to stay in control.
The Filipino powerhouse wasn’t going to let the win slip away from there, and he rained down ground-and-pound to force the stoppage at 4:22 of the second round.
With the TKO victory, Alvarez moved to 5-1 in his career and 4-1 in ONE Championship.
Biagtan Blasts Through Asli In Three-Round MMA ThrillerFritz “Kid Tornado” Biagtan showcased a well-rounded MMA game when he defeated Seyedali Asli by unanimous decision in their flyweight opener.
Whether the men found themselves scrambling on the canvas for submissions or trading punches on the feet, Biagtan dominated the entire bout.
And even when Asli attempted to take control on the ground, “Kid Tornado” immediately reversed the action and slammed down punches into his foe’s forehead from mount.
Biagtan’s output was enough to earn the nod from all three judges and with the victory, he upped his record to 7-2.
