Ok Welcomes Rasulov to ONE Championship
The main event saw Ok Rae Yoon take on the unbeaten Alibeg Rasulov in a matchup for the ONE Interim Lightweight belt. A former ONE Lightweight Champion, Ok was looking to set up a trilogy fight with Christian Lee but suffered a unanimous decision loss to Rasulov, who unfortunately was not eligible to win the belt but did secure the biggest win of his career.
The night’s co-main event featured Nico Carillo stopping Saemapetch Fairtex in the second round of their Muay Thai clash, which immediately followed ONE Welterweight Submission Grappling Champion Tye Ruotolo besting Jozef Chen in a 186-pound catchweight gappling bout.
The rest of ONE Fight Night 23 also featured a number of impressive finishes from MMA and Muay Thai bouts, including Oumar “Reug Reug” Kane defeating Mamadou "Boucher Ketchup" Kamarawho in a heavyweight kickboxing bout before Kane challenges three-division champion Anatoly Malykhin for the ONE heavyweight strap later this year at ONE 169 in Atlanta, GA.
