From blistering knockouts in Bangkok to seismic shocks in Las Vegas and thrilling boxing rivalries in Guadalajara, this was combat sports at its unpredictable best. Let’s dive into every blood-pumping highlight.
Bangkok, Thailand – Friday, 30 May
Under Lumpinee Stadium’s iconic lights, hometown hero Worapon Lukjaoporongtom delivered a masterclass, stunning Dagestani powerhouse Ilyas Musaev and ending the visitor’s previously unblemished knockout run. Worapon’s knees, elbows, and relentless clinch control dazzled an ecstatic Thai crowd en route to a commanding unanimous decision.

Expect Worapon, Samingdam, and Lamsing to rapidly ascend ONE’s ladder—big fights and bigger paydays undoubtedly await these emerging Lumpinee stars.
Guadalajara, Mexico – Friday, 30 May
The passionate Mexican fight fans in Guadalajara witnessed fiery vengeance served cold as ice, as slick American super-middleweight Khalil Coe silenced the hometown crowd by dismantling Mexican warrior Manuel Gallegos via sixth-round TKO, settling their previous controversial draw in definitive fashion.
Meanwhile, former unified champ Murodjon Akhmadaliev continued his comeback tour, battering Luis Castillo into an eighth-round TKO with body shots that had the arena wincing in sympathy. In the co-main, Uzbek powerhouse Bektemir “Bek the Bully” Melikuziev narrowly outpointed undefeated American Darius Fulghum, overcoming adversity to earn a gritty unanimous decision after flooring Fulghum late in a thrilling twelve-rounder.
Rounding out the night, local favorite Raúl Curiel cruised to victory against veteran Brad Solomon, delighting his hometown supporters and setting up bigger tests ahead.
Las Vegas, USA – Saturday, 31 May
Heartbreak hit the UFC Apex early: just hours before the cage doors closed, rising flyweight contender Maycee Barber was forced out of her highly anticipated clash with Erin Blanchfield due to medical reasons. With champ Valentina Shevchenko in attendance scouting her next challenger, fans were left wondering what’s next for the flyweight division.
But the show went on, and Poland’s lightweight maestro Mateusz Gamrot dazzled yet again. Dominating Slovakia’s knockout artist Ľudovít Klein from bell to bell with relentless wrestling and suffocating pressure, Gamrot proved he belongs firmly among the 155-pound elite.
Elsewhere on the card, fireworks erupted:
And on the prelims, standout performances from Allan Nascimento, Jordan Leavitt, and Alice Ardelean demonstrated depth and drama, saving an event marred by the late main-event withdrawal.
Las Vegas, USA – Saturday, 31 May (PBC on Prime Video)
Mexican underdog Armando Reséndiz pulled off the upset of the weekend, beating former champion Caleb Plant via split decision in a grueling 12-round war. Reséndiz’s relentless body assault overwhelmed Plant, thrusting him into the spotlight—and possibly into a career-defining clash against Canelo Alvarez.
In the co-feature, charismatic Texan Jermall Charlo ended two years of ring inactivity emphatically, stopping veteran Thomas LaManna in the sixth round, and immediately called out Caleb Plant for a potential high-stakes showdown.
Yokohama, Japan – Saturday, 31 May

On the undercard, Chinese champion Ouyang Feng retained his super-welterweight crown via dominant decision over tough Dutch contender Darryl Verdonk, and French phenom Rémi Parra astonished fans by winning three explosive fights in a single night, securing the 60kg Grand Prix title.
Rome, Italy – Saturday, 31 May
In Rome’s electric PalaPellicone Arena, Italian favorite Giacomo Michelis edged a razor-close split decision over Turkish warrior Sado Uçar. The hometown crowd’s deafening roars propelled Michelis through a dramatic final round, likely securing him an invitation to Dana White’s Contender Series.
