Imangazaliev storms past Panpayak as ONE Friday Fights 122 delivers mixed‑rules mayhem
By World MMA News
ONE Championship returned to Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium on 29 Aug 2025 for ONE Friday Fights 122, a card that blended Muay Thai, kickboxing and MMA. Russia’s Asadula Imangazaliev seized the moment in the main event, knocking out Thai superstar Panpayak Jitmuangnon in the first round.
Imangazaliev shocks Panpayak
Coming in as an underdog against the decorated Panpayak, Imangazaliev started aggressively. He caught the Thai legend with a crushing right hand early in round 1, leading to a knockout victory. The win earned Imangazaliev a six‑figure contract with ONE Championship and immediately positioned him as a contender in the flyweight Muay Thai division.
Muay Thai and kickboxing highlights
Numsurin Chor Ketwina defeated Songchainoi Kiatsongrit by majority decision.
Kongklai Sor Sommai stopped Ferrari Fairtex with a third‑round knockout.

MMA results showcase Mongolia’s rise
ONE Friday Fights 122 also included two MMA bouts. Batochir Batsaikhan, part of a rising wave of Mongolian fighters, defeated Harlysson Nunes by third‑round TKO. In the second MMA clash, Erdenebayar Tsolmon outgrappled Katsuaki Aoyagi to earn a unanimous decision.
Final thoughts
ONE Friday Fights 122 offered a little of everything: quick knockouts, tactical decisions and the emergence of new stars across multiple disciplines. Imangazaliev’s shocking finish of Panpayak will dominate headlines, but the continued success of veterans like Kongklai and rising talents like Batochir Batsaikhan shows that ONE’s weekly series remains one of combat sports’ most compelling platforms outside of the UFC and PFL.
