Asadula Imangazaliev entered the main event of ONE Friday Fights 147 with a heavy heart. After all, he missed weight leading up to his five-round title match with Nong-O Hama.

While ‘The Dagestani Ninja’ felt disappointed with not being eligible to win the vacant ONE flyweight Muay Thai throne, he wasn’t going to let it deter his goal for another sweet victory.

Imangazaliev made it clear he meant business on March 20 at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

The Team Mehdi Zatout standout sent an early message from distance, making Nong-O feel his power with a ballistic push kick.

Nong-O, who has over 300 career bouts to his name, wisely adjusted and delivered right body kicks to set up his offense.

The first round was rather close, but it was the Dagestani who took full control of the ensuing frame.

After reading Nong-O’s patterns, Imangazaliev bridged the gap and unleashed his notorious killer instinct from up close.

He read a straight right to the body from Nong-O, stepped back, and unloaded a seamless left hook-right hook-left hook combination that put the legend out before he hit the canvas.

That second-round knockout at the 0:44 mark was his most decisive finish yet, against his most high-profile opponent.

Imangazaliev moves to 12-0 with his seventh ONE highlight-reel finish. That career-defining win has positioned him as the division’s uncrowned champion.
