Ritu Phogat used her grappling to control a game Jenelyn Olsim and advance to the ONE Atomweight World Grand Prix finals. Phogat has developed her striking game, but she continues to use it to get inside and take her opponents to the ground. Olsim threatened with submissions, but Phogat was wise to the attempts and was never in too much danger. Phogat now goes on to face Stamp Fairtex.

Iraj Azizpour was initially scheduled to take on Roman Kryklia for the inaugural ONE Heavyweight World Championship, but the Ukrainian was forced to withdraw due to an undisclosed illness. Anderson "Braddock" Silva stepped in on short notice but was unable to seize the moment. Azizpour dropped Silva in the first round and kept the pressure on through the following two rounds for a dominant decision win.

Undefeated heavyweights Kirill Girshenko and Dustin Joynson met to see who could walk out as a top contender in the division, and it was the Belarusian who came out on top. Grishenko was on point with his striking and grappling in the first round to take a commanding lead. Although Joynson battled back, Grishenko closed strongly and got his hand raised.

Jeremy Miado proved his first win over Miao Li Tao was no fluke. The Filipino showed his improved striking off by sticking his jab in the face of Miao and damaging combinations. In the second round, Miado put the show to a close with a flurry. The strawweight looked ready for a step up in competition after the dominant showing.

Beybulat Isaev picked up a decision victory with a solid performance against Bogdan Stoica. Beybulat was in Stoica's face from the outset, but Stoica fired back in the second round before Beybulat took over again in the final frame to pick up the assured win.
