Get ready for an adrenaline rush! The world's largest martial arts organization just wrapped up its final U.S. primetime event of the year with a bang! ONE Fight Night 38: Andrade vs. Baatarkhuu on Prime Video set Bangkok’s iconic Lumpinee Stadium ablaze on Friday, December 5.
The night was electric as new World Title challengers emerged from the first five MMA, Muay Thai, and submission grappling bouts, and a legendary fighter took an emotional bow, announcing his retirement. But before we dive into the epic World Title clashes, let’s relive the heart-pounding action from the ONE Fight Night 38 undercard!
In an electrifying showdown to determine the next contender for the ONE Strawweight Muay Thai World Title, Aliff Sor Dechapan delivered a thrilling performance against Ramadan Ondash, clinching a unanimous decision victory! The first round was a whirlwind, with Aliff launching powerful right kicks that Ondash caught, trying to counter with his signature left hook. But the real fireworks ignited in the final minute, as the Lebanese fighter attempted to corner Aliff with a flurry of punches. However, round two was all about the 21-year-old Thai-Malaysian prodigy!
Aliff unleashed a barrage of whistling left kicks to Ondash’s ribs, systematically dismantling his opponent. Ondash, visibly frustrated, glanced at his corner, seemingly at a loss for answers as he struggled to land any significant blows. The pivotal moment arrived in the third round when Ondash went for a left hook, only for Aliff to leap into a perfectly timed left knee that connected with Ondash’s chin, sending him to the canvas for an eight-count! The young fighter sprang back up, determined to close the gap and land a knockout punch, but fate had other plans. The judges unanimously declared Aliff the victor, boosting his record to an impressive 62-9, extending his winning streak to five, and earning him a shot at Prajanchai’s coveted title!
Here are the results from ONE Fight Night 38 on December 5, 2025:
Bantamweight MMA World Title: Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu def. Fabricio Andrade by submission (rear-naked choke) in Round 4.
Flyweight Submission Grappling World Title: Diogo "Baby Shark" Reis def. Daiki Yonekura by unanimous decision.
Women's Atomweight Muay Thai World Title: Allycia Hellen Rodrigues def. Martyna Dominczak by TKO in Round 1.
Wow, what an electrifying night it was in Bangkok at ONE Fight Night 38! Enkh Orgil Baatarkhuu pulled off the most sensational victory of his career, submitting the formidable Fabricio Andrade in the fourth round to seize the ONE bantamweight MMA world title. This triumph marks a monumental achievement for Mongolian combat sports!
At 36, Baatarkhuu entered the main event as the No. 4 contender, widely seen as the underdog against Andrade, who had earned a fearsome reputation as one of the division's most lethal strikers. But Baatarkhuu, who recently gained fame on the Netflix competition series Physical Asia, brought with him the invaluable experience and wisdom of his mentor, former ONE featherweight champion Narantungalag Jadambaa, and delivered a performance for the ages!
Guess what, Astoria? There's a brand-new Muay Thai gym in town, and it's buzzing with excitement! This isn't just any gym—it's a vibrant community hub where you can train, connect, and grow both on and off the mats. Welcome to Premier Muay Thai, perched on the fifth floor at 36-01 36th Ave. Here, you can dive into adult classes six days a week, all under the expert guidance of Joel Estevez, the passionate owner. Estevez's dream was to create a space that feels like a community, whether you're aiming to become a fighter or simply love the thrill of martial arts and a killer workout.
"I wanted to open a gym that’s going to be a community, not just a place to train," Estevez shares. With nearly 20 years of Muay Thai experience, including a decade as a head coach at Sitan Gym, Estevez is no stranger to the sport. After branching out to teach and coach fighters at all levels, he knew it was time to bring his vision to life. His goal? To offer top-notch training for everyone, from beginners to seasoned pros, in a warm and welcoming environment. "Ninety-five percent of people usually come just to train, and 5% want to compete," Estevez explains.
"But as they see themselves improving, they naturally want to test their skills." While building a fight team is on the horizon, Estevez is focused on nurturing a strong community first. Get ready, because this is just the beginning!
Get ready for an electrifying showdown as the reigning ONE Women’s Atomweight Kickboxing World Champion, "The Queen" Phetjeeja, makes a triumphant return to her roots with Team Mehdi Zatout! Mark your calendars for Friday, December 5, when she steps back into the ring for an epic atomweight Muay Thai battle against Martyna Dominczak at ONE Fight Night 38: Andrade vs. Baatarkhuu, streaming live on Prime Video.
This thrilling event will light up U.S. primetime from the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. A victory here could catapult Phetjeeja into the spotlight as the next contender for the ONE Women’s Atomweight Muay Thai World Champion title held by Allycia Hellen Rodrigues, edging her closer to the coveted two-sport dominance. Earlier this year, the 23-year-old sensation defended her kickboxing crown against Kana “Krusher Queen” Morimoto at ONE 172 in Tokyo, where she clinched a masterful unanimous decision victory, marking the 209th win of her illustrious career and leaving the Japanese crowd in awe.
“The Queen” reflected on that performance:
“It was the best feeling. It was a huge relief because fighting Japanese opponents are always tough for me. Their style makes it difficult to fight; they are fast. Plus, you don’t know what kind of game plan they’ll bring. So I was really happy to defend my belt.”

At just 29kg, will his smaller size be a game-changer in the ring? The anticipation is electric!
Kickboxing fans, brace yourselves for some electrifying news! Just before the adrenaline-pumping SENSHI 29 event in Varna, Bulgaria, the legendary Semmy Schilt dropped a bombshell about Rico Verhoeven's jaw-dropping decision to step away from his GLORY throne! In an exclusive chat with Beyond Kickboxing’s Tim Wheaton, Schilt, a titan in his own right, showered Verhoeven with praise, exclaiming, “He’s done phenomenal things! Some critics claim his opponents were handpicked, but I’m not buying it. Rico’s simply in a league of his own!”
Verhoeven's exit signals the end of an epic era, having reigned supreme with an astonishing 16-title defenses and an unbeaten streak since 2012. He’s taken down giants like Badr Hari and Artem Vakhitov, leaving fans buzzing with speculation about his next move—could it be boxing superfights or a thrilling crossover to MMA with the PFL or UFC? Whatever path he chooses, Verhoeven's legacy as the GOAT of GLORY is cemented, setting a colossal challenge for future contenders. Meanwhile, Semmy Schilt, the towering 6'11" Dutch powerhouse and four-time K-1 Grand Prix champion, continues to inspire as he shares his wisdom at seminars worldwide with SENSHI.
Can You Outsmart Your Opponent in Muay Thai?
A little look into the Muay Thaibata class!
Get ready for an electrifying night of Muay Thai action as two epic Thailand-versus-Russia showdowns have been added to ONE Fight Night 39 on Prime Video! Broadcasting live in U.S. primetime from the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok on Friday, January 24, this event promises to be a thrilling spectacle. Brace yourself as fourth-ranked flyweight Muay Thai sensation Kongthoranee Sor Sommai takes on the undefeated powerhouse Asadula Imangazaliev in a pivotal clash that could redefine the division. But that's not all! The #4-ranked bantamweight contender Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon is set to face off against the #5-ranked Abdulla “Smash Boy” Dayakaev in a fiery battle that could shake up the top-five rankings like never before!
Kongthoranee has already established himself as one of the world's premier flyweight strikers. With a stunning career record of 72-18 and 11 victories in the world’s largest martial arts organization, this three-time Rajadamnern Stadium Muay Thai World Champion is a force to be reckoned with. His journey to the top included a remarkable seven-bout winning streak at ONE Friday Fights, culminating in a majority decision win over Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi, earning him a six-figure contract and a coveted spot on the global roster. Kongthoranee's momentum didn't stop there. He showcased his exceptional counter-striking skills to defeat “Samingpri” Tagir Khalilov at ONE 169 in November 2024 and demonstrated impeccable timing to outclass Nakrob Fairtex at ONE Fight Night 26 just a month later.
The crowning achievement came at ONE Fight Night 28 this past February, where he stunned the world with a split-decision victory over former ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Nong-O Hama. Although he faced setbacks in a rematch with Nong-O and against Aslamjon Ortikov, Kongthoranee is now on a quest for redemption, and he's more determined than ever!
