One Championship aired the second part of its
“Full Blast” series on Friday, composed of pre-recorded fights from
previous months.
In the
One: Full Blast 2 main event, Mongkolpetch Petchyindee Academy
locked horns with Elias Mahmoudi in a 138.5-pound catchweight muay
Thai clash. The French-Algerian Mahmoudi started strong, constantly
advancing and landing with punch and kick combinations. While
Mongkolpetch was forced to back up much of the time, he scored
effective counterstrikes on his opponent. The Thai fighter ended
the round by sniping Mahmoudi with a punch to the midsection
followed by a clean short elbow.
Mongkolpetch came out much more aggressively in the second period,
keeping his opponent at bay with kicks and tying Mahmoudi up with
the clinch. A jab-right hand combination from Mongkolpetch dropped
Mahmoudi, but the Mahmoudi recovered from the shot and beat the
official count. Mahmoudi felt the urgency to stop his opponent in
the final stanza as he rushed forward with punches and elbows. On
the other side, Mongkolpetch resorted to the clinch and dumped
Mahmoudi to the canvas as many times as he could. When time
expired, two of the judges sided with Mongkolpetch while one scored
the match a draw, allowing the Thai fighter to take home a majority
decision victory.

The MMA main attraction on the card saw Tsogookhuu
Amarsanaa (6-2) welcoming Bellator MMA alum Benjamin
Wilhelm (5-1) to the One lightweight division. Tsogookhuu
displayed impressive hand speed early in the first frame, clipping
the American with shots that Wilhelm walked through. The unbeaten
newcomer sought to slow down the Mongolian by tying him up in the
clinch, but Tsogookhuu escaped repeatedly without losing much
momentum. As the rounds progressed, Tsogookhuu gained distance and
landed at volume, all while avoiding the powerful counter that
never scored. After a fairly one-sided performance, Tsogookhuu
earned a unanimous nod from the judges to get his hand raised.
Earlier on the card, Yoon Chang
Min (5-1) submitted Jia Wen Ma
(6-4) with a rear-naked choke at the 1:46 mark of the first frame.
The finish was not without controversy, as it appeared that referee
Mohamad Sulaiman rushed in to stop the contest before “Cannon”
tapped. In the first fight on the card, Taiki Naito captured a
unanimous verdict from Wang Wenfeng in a flyweight kickboxing tilt.
