Inside the ring, Johan “Jojo” Ghazali is a finishing machine — explosive, fearless, and built for highlights. Off it, the 19-year-old Malaysian-American flyweight Muay Thai star has found a completely different outlet: golf. It started as a calculated networking move but turned into a full-blown obsession that follows him to Thailand. There, he trains under ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion Superbon.

Three losses in a row can break a fighter. For Tubtimthong IngfahhotelUbon, they rebuilt one. The 25-year-old Thai atomweight returns to action in the main event of ONE Friday Fights 144 on Friday, February 27, where he faces Chatpichit Sor Sor Toipadriew live in Asia primetime from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. The skid stings because of what came before it. Tubtimthong announced himself in ONE Championship with three wins from three, two of them first-round knockouts that lasted a combined four minutes.

Growing up in the same orbit as Rodtang Jitmuangnon would test any young fighter’s sense of self. Sangarthit Looksaikongdin is Rodtang’s brother-in-law, trained in the same gym, shaped by the same standards. The comparison is unavoidable. But at 22 years old, with an undefeated 19-0 professional boxing record already behind him before he ever threw a kick in ONE Championship, Sangarthit is building something of his own.

Allycia Hellen Rodrigues has never been one to duck a challenge. She stripped Stamp Fairtex of the ONE Women’s Atomweight Muay Thai World Title in her promotional debut back in 2020. She unified the division’s gold against combat sports legend Janet “JT” Todd. She’s answered short-notice calls twice without flinching. But nothing in her five-year reign compares to what awaits her at ONE Fight Night 41 on Friday, March 13, live on Prime Video from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Nico “King of the North” Carrillo walked into ONE Fight Night 40 on February 13 as the featherweight Muay Thai division’s most dangerous knockout threat. He walked out as ONE Interim Featherweight Muay Thai World Champion. The Scottish striker defeated Thai slugger Shadow Singha Mawynn via unanimous decision over five rounds at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, with a fourth-round knockdown courtesy of his trademark right hand proving the decisive moment. The title was a long time coming. All six of Carrillo’s previous ONE Championship victories came via stoppage, five of them in the second round. The finishing rate isn’t a product of any single weapon — it stems from an explosiveness the 27-year-old Glasgow native believes separates him from everyone else in the division.

Ramadan “The Scorpion” Ondash had never lost inside ONE Championship before he met Aliff Sor Dechapan at ONE Fight Night 38 in December 2025. The Lebanese striker entered that bout riding a four-fight winning streak that earned him a main-roster contract and pushed him squarely into the ONE Strawweight Muay Thai World Title conversation. All he had to do was get past Aliff. For two rounds, Ondash believed he was doing exactly that. Then a flying knee in the third sent the 19-year-old to the canvas for an eight-count — a moment that tilted the judges toward a unanimous decision for the Thai-Malaysian contender, who secured his own title shot against reigning champion Prajanchai PK Saenchai in the process.

Pawel Jaworski opens his promotional account against ONE Welterweight Submission Grappling World Champion Tye Ruotolo in a 10-minute all-grappling showdown at ONE Fight Night 41: Rodrigues vs. Phetjeeja on Friday, March 13, live on Prime Video from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. The Academia Gorila standout swept the IBJJF circuit in 2025, capturing the No-Gi Pans, No-Gi Europeans, and No-Gi Worlds in the same calendar year — a run that put him on ONE Championship’s radar between the semifinal and final of the No-Gi Worlds in December. He learned about the booking before he even had the gold in hand, and he learned it was a World Title shot shortly after.
