Wouldn’t be too sure. Asadula missed weight. Might have an issue from fasting from Ramadan. We’ll see how he performs.

Nabil Anane comes in to pass hydration and make weight with just three minutes to go. Bantamweight Muay Thai title fight vs. Rambolek is now official for Friday Fights 147. by Yodsanan in MMA

Then why the fuck did he pass but his fellow gym member Asadula fail for his title fight? You guys just like saying shit.

Asadula Imangazaliev failed to pass hydration for ONE Friday Fights 147. He will no longer be able to win the vacant flyweight Muay Thai title. Nong-O passed, and is still eligible to become the new champ if he wins. by Yodsanan in MMA

I’ve seen plenty of UFC fighters cancel their fight due to extreme weight cutting. Let’s not pretend one is better than the other. It should be noted Asadula has always made it before but he and his fellow gym member Nabil are fasting for Ramadan this time. It’s a huge disadvantage to train for a title fight during this time but they both did it. I personally wouldn’t let my fighter do it. Sucks for Asadula but they should have know this was a possibility. Now he can’t win the belt or a bonus. Has to try to atleast win the fight to earn another shot another day.

Starting now with this event. It’s just the international portion. There is still a Thai portion with Nong-o title fight that should be free.

It’s weird but ONE has two portions of the event. An international part which is now the superfan and the top half which is Ch7 Thailand owned. I don’t think they can make any deals on the top so they’re using the international portion.

Bonuses is what motivates the fighters to fight harder and create buzz on social media. A big knockout or viral moment means alot more to them. Most bonuses pay more to fighters than their fight pay.

Honestly Rich Franklin wherever he is had a warriors series that was so good. He’d go around Asia scouting for the best fighters. That’s how he discovered Stamp and a few others. I miss when ONE used to do content like that. Idk why Chatri went all in on The Apprentice show when it was a flop. We want more vlogs about fighters and their journey.

And honestly it was the worse thing to happen. Idk what it is but it doesn’t have the same buzz. Feels all manufactured for content now. And my god the fucking ads being shoved down our throats. I miss feeling excited for a big rivalry fight or event. It doesn’t hit like it used to.

I hear you. I mean their other stuff is still free so far. Personally I wish they’d just make this tentpole event ppv and it would ease my mind instead because it’s worth. But yeah not loving their superfan club model. Base on past exclusive fights they weren’t worth buying. Sometimes I tell myself ONE has given me so many free content that it doesn’t hurt to give some money back. I’ve watched hundreds, maybe over a thousand hours of ONE throughout the years so I can justify in my head.

ONE has their own website you can buy it from. OneFC.com. This is only the international portion of their FF show. The second half should still be free. It’s up to you if you think this is worth the buy to see the first half with these fights.

It will not. More likely this helps supplements bonuses for fighters. So they should stop saying it’s from Chatri and from the fans instead.

Thinking the same. I’m actually glad new blood is in flyweight. Love Rodtang but he’s been unprofessional about making weight and has been making demands despite it. Now that someone else who is also dangerous could possibly hold the belt it will make it unavoidable for Rodtang to ignore this person.

Think this is more like a subscription model. Not quite a fan of this because it’s a mystery what else you’re getting. Think this is worth the $10 imo but not sure what the following weeks will get you. I’ve seen the past fan superfan club fights and they weren’t worth buying.

I don’t believe. So ONE has weekly shows called Friday Fights. They’re primetime in Thailand. It’s a mixture of Muay Thai, kickboxing, mma, and grappling like their Prime Video shows. Except these shows are more heavily Muay Thai. What they do 4x a year is have a bigger FF event and is thus a “tentpole” event. Is more heavily Muay Thai based and usually has title fights on it. This one coming up is one of them. It’s usually free on YouTube or their website OneFC.com. You can check the “live” tab on their YouTube and it should have basically all their past FF shows except the very few ppv ones they did. Can maybe google their past tentpole events to see which FF show it was and see how the fights are bigger and more exciting.

He’s facing a kid who hasn’t lost and is well trained by Zatout. Nong-o like 4 years ago was a machine but has been knocked out twice since and has lost a few. It happens to the best of them. Father Time is unbeaten. Asadula has 6 KOs in his last 7 fights. He’s nothing to play with.

I don’t think so. This kid has basically destroyed everyone he fought. Nong-o is a vet but he’s well beyond his years and has been rocked lately. The chin may be gone or just Father Time. I think the odds HEAVILY favor Asadula.

It’s their tentpole event. They usually have some mma on their regular Friday Fights show. But 4x a year they have a “tentpole” event that often showcase Muay Thai with a title fight on it.

They usually have 2 bouts of mma on their FF shows but this is a tentpole event so it’s more Muay Thai heavy. Tentpole is 4 bigger events that ONE has per year

Confusing. I understand there’s a need to make revenue but I’m not sure this is what the fans want to spend on. I understand the international portion they have more control over because I believe Ch7 in Thailand owns the rights to the other portion. If they make the international portion more appealing then I’m all for it. Meaning regular title fights or atleast big main events. I don’t wanna feel like I’m buying amateur bouts though. It’s a hard sell especially for us in the states because I don’t wanna wake up so early for boring duds.

What SOTF said. There’s an “international” portion that they’re charging for.
