Overview

  • The main event, which closed the card Friday, August 14, ended when Stella Hemetsberger stopped Natalia Diachkova at 1:46 of round three to retain the ONE Women’s Strawweight Muay Thai title.
  • Hemetsberger finished the fight by twice landing a left kick to the liver and then following with punches and a knee that forced the referee to stop the contest.
  • The win moved Hemetsberger’s professional record to 11-1 and was reported to have earned her a US$50,000 performance bonus.
  • ONE Fight Night 46 at Lumpinee Stadium aired in U.S. primetime on Amazon Prime Video and produced several quick, high-profile finishes across MMA and kickboxing, including Marcos Aurelio’s 57-second KO and Viet Anh Do’s third-round TKO.
  • Diachkova’s rematch bid ended despite her rebuilt 6-1 promotional run and pre-fight claims that Hemetsberger had not been fully tested, while Hemetsberger’s defense strengthens her status as a two-sport champion within ONE.
