In the highly anticipated main event, the previously unbeaten Azerbaijani-Russian fighter Elbek Alyshov achieved a significant upset by defeating the veteran Mongolian fighter Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu. Alyshov secured the ONE Bantamweight MMA World Title with a decisive second-round TKO.

The defending champion, Baatarkhuu, initially controlled the fight, using his strength to fend off Alyshov's takedown attempts. He skillfully dominated the clinch with his striking and effectively nullified the challenger's grappling, dictating the terms of the bout.

However, the momentum shifted dramatically in the second round. After Alyshov managed to secure a takedown, Baatarkhuu managed to scramble back to his feet, seemingly regaining control.

Alyshov followed up with a series of ground strikes, rendering Baatarkhuu unconscious and earning him the new undisputed bantamweight MMA championship.

The intensity escalated in the second round. Ghazali pressed forward, inviting a brawl, which Ondash gladly accepted. The Lebanese fighter unleashed heavy combinations, repeatedly causing Ghazali to falter.
