Surging bantamweight Carlo
Bumina-ang made quick work of Chayan
Oorzhak and secured his fifth ONE
Championship victory in a
ONE Friday Fights 65 bantamweight showcase on Friday at
Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Bumina-ang (5-0, 5-0 ONE) came out with guns blazing and was quick
to floor his opponent with a straight left before slamming him to
the canvas and unleashing a barrage of strikes from mount. Oorzhak
(8-3, 3-1 ONE), now leaking blood from the top of his face thanks
to the assault, was quick to scramble and offer his back to
Bumina-ang. However, the Russian proved to be crafty on the ground
and was wise to Bumina-ang’s submission attacks. With less than a
minute left in the frame and no submission in sight, Bumina-ang
chose to stand up and engage with his opponent on the feet, landing
several jarring kicks to the head and body to end the round.

Round 2 saw Bumina-ang drop Oorzhak with another straight left
within the first minute. Nevertheless, Oorzhak managed to avoid a
ground-and-pound assault and made it back to his feet, only to be
caught with a series of left hands once again, eventually
submitting to a ninja choke at 2:39 in the second frame.
Meanwhile, Ryosuke
Honda (13-4, 2-1 ONE) walked away with a hard-fought unanimous
decision over Ryosuke
Noda (6-4,0-1 ONE) in a three-round strawweight clash.
Round 1 saw both competitors feel each other out before engaging in
a war that saw Honda drop Noda with a blitzing straight left.
Although Honda managed to control Noda on the canvas for the rest
of the round, the 28-year-old kept working from bottom to avoid
being submitted, narrowly escaping a guillotine attempt towards the
dying seconds of the frame.
Unfortunately for Noda, Round 2 did not see things change for him.
Honda was quick to catch a head kick attempt and made him pay for
it by taking him to the canvas, drowning him with the same pressure
and control for most of the stanza. Despite considerable success on
the feet thanks to his kick-first-and-punch-after approach, Noda
was unable to land significant damage on Honda in the third frame.
A visibly exhausted Honda made sure to stay on his toes in the
final round, occasionally catching Noda with a check right hook
despite dealing with two unintentional headbutts and eating a
couple of head kicks from his adversary. In the end, Honda finished
the bout on top of Noda, attempting to unload all the damage he
could before the final bell.
