Regian Eersel’s 84‑Second Blitz Highlights ONE Fight Night 34 in Bangkok
Bangkok, Thailand – August 1, 2025: ONE Championship returned to Lumpinee Stadium with a card designed to showcase its dynamic roster, but few expected the main event to end as abruptly as it did. Surinamese striker Regian Eersel, one of the promotion’s most dominant champions, needed just 84 seconds to defend his lightweight Muay Thai title against American challenger George Jarvis.
Lumpinee Stadium has hosted decades of legendary Muay Thai battles, yet Eersel’s performance stood out for its ruthlessness. From the opening bell, he stalked Jarvis behind a probing jab and low kicks. A minute into the round, Eersel dug a left hook to the liver that visibly hurt the American. Recognizing the opening, he swarmed Jarvis with punches, dropping him near the ropes. Referee Olivier Coste waved the fight off at 1:24 of round 1, preserving Eersel’s unbeaten run in ONE’s Muay Thai division.
The supporting card delivered a mix of decisions and spectacular finishes. Featherweight contender Shamil Gasanov used his grappling pedigree to neutralize Garry Tonon, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion. Gasanov’s heavy top control and timely ground‑and‑pound earned him a unanimous decision and likely secured him a title shot. Heavyweight Kirill Grishenko was equally dominant, smothering Ben Tynan to win all three rounds on the judges’ scorecards.
The card also showcased rising talent. Elbek Alyshov earned a statement win over Jeremy Pacatiw via rear‑naked choke, improving his standing in the bantamweight division. Knockout of the night honors went to Ryugo Takeuchi, whose right hand sent heavyweight Kang Ji Won crashing to the canvas. In Muay Thai contests, Suakim outlasted Zafer Sayik by decision, while Ellis Badr Barboza defeated Shamil Adukhov.
ONE Fight Night 34 underscored the promotion’s commitment to cross‑disciplinary martial arts. Eersel’s performance cemented his reputation as one of the world’s most dangerous strikers, and the event’s mix of Muay Thai and MMA showcased ONE’s ability to promote multiple combat sports under one banner. Fans now wonder whether Eersel will seek new challenges in kickboxing or continue his reign in Muay Thai. Either way, his 84‑second destruction of Jarvis adds another highlight to his growing legacy.
