In the co-main event Thai-Malaysian striker Aliff Sor Dechepan claimed victory over Elmehdi El Jamari to complete a double over members of the El Jamari family.
Aliff had already defeated Zakaria El Jamari last August, and defeated younger sibling Elmehdi via unanimous decision as he improved his career record to 61-9 and moved himself one step closer to a potential shot at ONE strawweight Muay Thai world champion Prajanchai PK Saenchai later this year.
ALso on the card, there were decision victories for Diego Paez and Taiki Naito in Muay Thai competition, while Ibrahim Dauev claimed a split-decision victory over Magomed Adaev in their MMA matchup in a bout that saw him come close to finishing a rarely-seen Suloev stretch submission.
On a busy night for the judges, the night’s only other finish came in the MMA bout between Dzhabir Dzhabrailov and Nicolas Vigna, with the former getting the first-round finish via ground and pound TKO.
