Gadzhimurad
Amirzhanov
knows how to impose his will, and ONE
Championship
stands to benefit from his exploits.

Dogged takedowns, suffocating top control and effective
ground-and-pound carried the undefeated Russian prospect to a
unanimous decision over Matheus
Pereira
in a three-round
ONE Friday Fights 70
lightweight showcase on Friday at Lumpinee
Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. All three ringside judges
scored it for Amirzhanov (6-0, 3-0 ONE), who was forced to go the
distance for the first time since his December 2020 professional
debut.

Pereira (7-3, 3-1 ONE) could not stay upright. Amirzhanov sat him
down with an overhand left and threatened with a brabo choke in the
first round, then settled into a rinse-and-repeat cycle across the
final 10-plus minutes. Pereira did all he could from bottom
position, even though he received a yellow card for repeated
punches to the back of the head. Those efforts—they included a
powerful upkick in the third round—proved futile.

The loss snapped Pereira’s four-fight winning streak.
