Clash of Generations: Yunusov Shines Against Suriyanlek

One of the night’s highlights pitted Suriyanlek Por Yenying, a local star and iconic figure of Thai Muay Thai, against Rustam "Tomahawk" Yunusov, a 19-year-old Russian prodigy. Despite heroic resistance and a hard-fought battle, the Thai fighter had to bow out via unanimous decision.
This victory marks a turning point in the young Russian’s career, hinting at a bright future in the flyweight division. Observers agree that Yunusov could very well become the next king of this weight class, given his impressive potential.

Another revelation of the night, Dedduanglek Torfunfarm electrified the crowd by securing a second-round KO victory over Mongkoldetlek Por Pim-on. This win, achieved in the bantamweight division, marks a turning point in the Thai fighter’s career, as a winner of the Road to ONE series.
With this performance, Dedduanglek confirms his status as a serious contender for ONE Championship’s world titles. His explosive style and striking power make him a formidable opponent for the best in his division.

This night at Lumpinee will go down as a pivotal moment for ONE Championship and global Muay Thai.

Bangkok, already the undisputed capital of Muay Thai, has once again confirmed its status as the city where legends are born and dreams come true.

Editor's Opinion

Ah, Bangkok shaking like a kid watching Jurassic Park in 3D... But this time, it’s not the raptors—it’s Yunusov making Lumpinee tremble! 19 years old and already a technical KO over a veteran like Suriyanlek? The young Russian packs more punch than an OSS117 on a secret mission, and the judges played Batman by validating his win. Dedduanglek, on the other hand, exploded like a Disneyland fireworks show: second-round KO, and the crowd roared as if it were the end of Toy Story... but better, because it’s real. Bangkok remains the Mecca, but watch out: Muay Thai may have found its new crown prince in Yunusov. Too bad he still has to wait to claim the throne... dramatic sigh.
