The One
Championship 157 main event on Friday featured a featherweight
muay Thai title affair, as defending champion Petchmorakot
Petchyindee locked horns with Jimmy Vienot at Singapore Indoor
Stadium in Kallang, Singapore.

The French challenger looked sharp in the first two frames, where
he kept intercepting Petchmorakot’s kicks and throwing him to the
mat to disrupt his rhythm. Petchmorakot started countering Vienot’s
offense in Round 3, ducking his opponent’s long punches and
retaliating with some shots of his own. The Thai champion knocked
down Vienot right out of the gate in the fourth thanks to a short
hook. While the Frenchman bounced back on the feet following the
referee’s count, he did not show the same crispness he showed in
the preceding rounds. Petchmorakot felt he was ahead on the
scorecards in the fifth stanza and limited risk to cruise past his
adversary, leaving the fight to run its course. Ultimately, the
judges were split about the result. Two of the three favored
Petchmorakot, who retained his championship and earned a $50,000
performance bonus.

In the co-headliner, Prajanchai P.K.Saenchai put the strawweight
muay Thai championship on the line against Joseph Lasiri. In a
high-paced clash, Lasiri forced the defending champion to stay on
the back foot right out of the gate. “The Hurricane” displayed
offensive versatility, as he fired elbow attacks and vicious kicks
at Prajanchai. Midway through the second stanza, Lasiri opened a
cut on his opponent’s nose, which profoundly impacted the outcome
of the match. The Italian followed up with a variety of elbow
attacks. Prajanchai resisted until the third period, but his
opponent’s pressure was too much to handle. Ultimately, the Thai
fighter opted to retire on the stool at the end of Round 3. A
visibly excited Lasiri picked up the victory, the title and a
$50,000 performance bonus.

In the flyweight muay Thai grand prix quarterfinals, divisional
titleholder Rodtang Jitmuangnon hit Jacob Smith with elbows and
kicks to record a unanimous decision and pocket a performance
bonus; Walter Goncalves stopped Josue Cruz with punches 35 seconds
into the first round; Superlek Kiatmookao was faster and more
precise than Taiki Naito, earning a unanimous decision victory and
a ticket for the semifinals; and Savvas Michael outstruck Amir
Naseri to capture a unanimous decision.

Elsewhere, lightweight Tye Ruotolo disposed of Garry Tonon
thanks to a quick brabo choke that halted their submission
grappling match after 97 seconds, pocketing a $50,000 performance
bonus along the way; Kade Ruotolo took home a decision over
Shinya
Aoki in their lightweight submission grappling tilt; Alyse
Anderson (6-2, 1-1 One) choked Asha Roka
(4-3, 0-3 One) thanks to a triangle that halted the clash at the
2:04 mark of the opening period; rising featherweight kickboxing
star Mohammed Boutasaa outclassed former Glory Kickboxing and
Kunlun Fight titleholder Davit Kiria
on his way to a unanimous decision; “Wondergirl” Nat
Jaroonsak (1-0, 1-0 One) made a successful mixed martial arts
debut by forcing Zeba Bano
(6-1, 0-1 One) to tap via armbar after 82 seconds at strawweight;
Sherzod Kabutov outpointed Denis Puric
on all three scorecards in the flyweight muay Thai grand prix
alternate bout; and strawweight prospect Elipitua
Siregar (5-2, 5-2 One) scored another first-round stoppage
after forcing Robin
Catalan (10-8, 5-6 One) to tap to a brabo choke at the 2:58
mark.
