Bangkok's Lumpinee Stadium hosted another evening of martial arts action on September 19 as ONE Friday Fights 125 featured 12 contests. Hungry contenders battled for life-changing US$100,000 contracts during the weekly Asia primetime series featuring Muay Thai and MMA battles.
Elbrus "The Samurai" Osmanov successfully transitioned into Muay Thai by outworking Saemapetch Fairtex via unanimous decision in their bantamweight main event. Both fighters started fast with crisp combinations and constant movement.
Round two brought Osmanov's breakthrough moment. After missing a high kick, the Russian immediately followed with a three-punch combination capped by a right hand that dropped Saemapetch for the first time.
Saemapetch rose and pushed hard in
the final round, connecting with a clean left high kick. However, Osmanov answered with precise elbows and an uppercut that sent Saemapetch down again.
All three judges awarded Osmanov the unanimous decision victory over the Thai. The triumph improved his record to 14-1 overall while marking his eighth victory within the ONE Friday Fights series.
Former Rajadamnern Stadium World Champion Kongchai Chanaidonmueang returned to form by defeating Walter "Iron Hands" Goncalves via unanimous decision in strawweight Muay Thai action. Kongchai established control early by whipping left kicks into Goncalves' legs and body.
The second round saw Kongchai incorporate knees and elbows while Goncalves showed impressive grit. Kongchai dominated the final frame by storming forward with aggressive combinations and cleaner striking during clinch exchanges.
When the scorecards were read, all three judges favored Kongchai's superior technique and aggression. The victory pushed the Thai fighter's professional striking record to 76-16 while showcasing his championship-level skills.
