Overview
- Jones defeated Fabricio Andrey by split decision in a 10-minute featherweight submission grappling match at ONE Fight Night 44, a result reported from Lumpinee Stadium on Friday.
- The bout was decided by a single official catch for each fighter and featured Jones hunting leg-lock entanglements and surviving a near armbar that he escaped with a textbook hitchhiker-style move.
- Victory erased a loss Jones suffered to Andrey three years earlier and served as a personal revenge moment that the 21-year-old framed as proof that he has progressed since he was 18.
- Jones immediately publicly called out Cole Abate and argued he deserves a fast path to a title shot because Andrey had been slated to challenge ONE Lightweight submission grappling champion Kade Ruotolo before Ruotolo’s hand injury.
- The high-profile debut, televised on Prime Video from Lumpinee Stadium, raises Jones’s profile as a rising contender and could push ONE to rework matchups while Ruotolo recovers.
