Imangazaliev KOs Nong-O at ONE Friday Fights 147 as Flyweight Title Remains Vacant After Weight Miss

The 22-year-old stayed unbeaten with a second-round finish, but ONE’s hydration and weigh-in rules left him ineligible to claim the Muay Thai belt.

Overview

  • Imangazaliev stopped Nong-O in round two in the main event at Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium on March 20.
  • Because Imangazaliev failed ONE’s pre-fight weight and hydration requirements, only Nong-O could win the vacant flyweight title.
  • Nong-O, 39, did not secure the belt, leaving the championship unawarded following the knockout loss.
  • The victory extends Imangazaliev’s perfect record and underscores his unorthodox, high-pressure striking against one of Muay Thai’s most decorated veterans.
  • Imangazaliev’s rise has drawn global attention, including recent on-air praise from Joe Rogan highlighting the Russian’s dangerous, unpredictable style.
