ONE Championship returned with a bang at the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, delivering electrifying action across MMA, Muay Thai, and submission grappling in their first U.S. primetime event of 2025—ONE Fight Night 27. With nine thrilling bouts, jaw-dropping performances, and unexpected outcomes, this night will be etched in fans' memories.
Abdullaev Shocks the Division but Misses the Crown
Akbar Abdullaev showed the world why he’s a top contender, dismantling reigning champion Tang Kai with a dominant fifth-round TKO. Although he missed out on the title due to a failed weigh-in, Abdullaev’s flawless 12-0 record with 12 finishes reinforces his position as the biggest threat in the division. His display of relentless pressure and precision striking left no doubt—Tang’s reign is on notice.
Denice Zamboanga’s Golden Moment
Filipina star Denice Zamboanga finally fulfilled her championship dreams, claiming the ONE Interim Atomweight MMA World Title with a brutal second-round TKO over Alyona Rassohyna. Zamboanga showcased elite striking in the first round before dominating with ground-and-pound in the second, forcing the referee to call a halt to the contest. This career-defining victory solidifies Zamboanga as a force to be reckoned with in the atomweight division.
Luke Lessei’s Highlight-Reel Knockout
In one of the night’s most exciting bouts, Luke Lessei roared back into the spotlight with a spectacular first-round TKO over Cody Jerome. After two brutal body shot knockdowns, Lessei sealed the deal with a vicious right elbow for the third and final knockdown, ensuring a triumphant start to his 2025 campaign.
Baatarkhuu’s Submission Brilliance
Mongolian grappling ace Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu added another submission win to his resume, defeating Aaron Canarte via kimura in the first round. Although Canarte started strong, Baatarkhuu’s takedown set up the decisive submission, securing his fifth victory in six ONE bouts.
