ONE Championship continued its return from the promotion’s COVID-19-enforced hiatus with a muay Thai-heavy card in Bangkok, Thailand. But there were two MMA bouts thrown into the mix, too. The first MMA matchup of the night saw Thailand’s Yodkaikaew Fairtex (5-2) score a second-round knockout of England’s John Shink (3-1), but Thai MMA fan-favorite Pongsiri Mitsatit (10-6) was unable to follow suit. He lost out via first-round knockout at the hands of Japanese contender Akihiro Fujisawa (6-3), who halted a three-fight run of first-round losses with a quickfire win of his own as he put Mitsatit away with a perfectly-timed short left hook with seven seconds remaining in the opening frame. The defeat continues Mitstatit’s disastrous form in ONE Championship, with the 24-year-old suffering his fourth straight loss, and his sixth defeat from his last seven outings.
