Imangazaliev rematches Ortikov for the flyweight title

Asadula Imangazaliev rematches Aslamjon Ortikov for the ONE flyweight Muay Thai title on Friday, November 20, at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok. Imangazaliev won the vacant title by split decision over Ortikov at The Inner Circle 20 on June 26, and this is the first defense. The fight is the main event of The Inner Circle 39 and a quarterfinal of the flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix, and the winner goes to the semifinals. Flyweight is 135 pounds (61 kg). ONE is putting the title on the line in every round of the bracket, so the bouts are five rounds.

Imangazaliev is 23 and 13-0, and he is 9-0 in ONE. Imangazaliev knocked out Nong-O Hama at 0:44 of the second round on March 20 at The Inner Circle 7, with a left hook, a right hook to the body, and another left hook. Imangazaliev had missed weight, so the vacant title was not awarded.

Ortikov is 23 and 24-1, and he is 10-1 in ONE. He was 24-0 into the first meeting, and that split decision is his only loss. Ortikov stopped Jordan Estupinan by TKO at 2:06 of the second round at ONE Fight Night 43, and Ortikov beat Kongthoranee Sor Sommai by unanimous decision at 3:00 of the third round at ONE Fight Night 36.

Black Panther meets Ubaid Hussain in the other quarterfinal on the card. Black Panther is 26 and 6-1 in ONE, and Black Panther beat Sean Climaco by unanimous decision at 3:00 of the third round at ONE Fight Night 45. Hussain is 21 and 8-0 in ONE, and Hussain beat Isannuea Sor Sasiwat by unanimous decision at 3:00 of the third round at The Inner Circle 28. Allycia Hellen Rodrigues meets Charlotte Padie at atomweight on the same card. Rodtang Jitmuangnon meets Nong-O Hama in another quarterfinal on November 13, and Shimon Yoshinari meets Ramadan Ondash on that card.
