Legend Meets Phenom As ONE Friday Fights 147 Delivers Two World Title Fights This Friday
Some nights at Lumpinee Stadium feel bigger than others. ONE Friday Fights 147 on Friday, March 20, is one of those nights.
Fourteen bouts, two ONE World Title fights, and a rubber match between two of Muay Thai’s most beloved rivals highlight a card that has legitimate claim to being the most stacked in the weekly series’ history.
Topping the bill is a ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Championship clash that pits living legend Nong-O Hama against 22-year-old Russian sensation Asadula “The Dagestan Ninja” Imangazaliev in a generational showdown.
Nong-O is one of the most decorated fighters the sport has ever produced. The 39-year-old from Sakon Nakhon is a former eight-time ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion, a four-division Lumpinee Stadium champion, and a Rajadamnern Stadium champion. His high-IQ style has dismantled opponents at every level across a career that spans decades.
Imangazaliev is everything Nong-O once was as a young man, only he has arrived faster than almost anyone before him. The Team Mehdi Zatout product enters with a flawless 11-0 record and nine stoppages, having carved through the weekly series with spectacular spinning attacks that have made him must-watch viewing.
Earlier on the card, ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Nabil Anane makes the first defence of his title against Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon. The 21-year-old Anane is a physical outlier at 6-foot-3, using his extraordinary reach, powerful knees, and relentless forward pressure to overwhelm opponents. He holds wins over Nico Carrillo and ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Champion Superlek. Rambolek, 23, counters with a five-fight winning streak and a smart, versatile game built on kicking, clinch transitions, and well-timed sweeps.
Contracted star Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi also features in a flyweight Muay Thai clash against the rugged Pompet Pongsuphan PK, who brings a 109-fight professional record and 44 knockout victories to the table, and Seksan Or Kwanmuang squares off with Pakorn PK Saenchai in the third instalment of their Muay Thai rivalry, with each man holding one victory over the other.
Nabil’s younger brother Yonis Anane, a WBC Muay Thai World Champion in his own right, also appears on the card against China’s Zhao Zhengdong.
