ONE Friday Fights 88 Results: Ortikov Beats Pompet
Aslamjon Ortikov extended his undefeated record with a unanimous decision over Pompet PK Saenchai in the main event of ONE Friday Fights 88 on November 22, 2024. The three-round Muay Thai bout took place at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok at a 130-pound catchweight. The win moved Ortikov to 20-0 overall and 6-0 in ONE Championship.
Ortikov’s pressure carried the main event
Ortikov opened with forward pressure, mixing punches and kicks and attacking Pompet’s legs. ONE Championship’s recap reported that Ortikov dropped Pompet with a right hand in the first round. Pompet pressed forward more aggressively in the second, but Ortikov used counters as his opponent looked to land the overhand right.
Ortikov continued to score with right hands and elbows in the final round, while making Pompet miss. After 15 minutes, the judges awarded Ortikov a unanimous decision. The result kept him unbeaten and gave him his sixth consecutive victory in ONE Friday Fights. It was a strong showing against an experienced Thai opponent, but the official result—not a prediction about a future title opportunity—is the clearest takeaway from the bout.
More than a Muay Thai card
ONE Friday Fights 88 featured 11 bouts across Muay Thai, mixed martial arts, kickboxing and submission grappling. The event was held at Lumpinee Stadium, ONE’s regular Bangkok venue for its weekly Asia primetime series. The format gave emerging fighters a platform to pursue a place on the promotion’s global roster, including the possibility of a six-figure contract.
Other notable results included Sornsueknoi FA Group’s split-decision win over Sing Sor Chokmeechai in a close Muay Thai contest, and Raksaensuk Sor Tor Hiewbangsaen’s third-round knockout of Thapluang Petkiatpet. Those bouts added different styles of action to a card whose headliner went the distance.
What the result meant for Ortikov
At 21, the Uzbekistani fighter was building momentum through the weekly series. His victory over Pompet pushed his ONE record to 6-0 and his overall record to 20-0, according to ONE’s event recap. Ortikov later earned a contract with ONE’s global roster, but that development came after this event. At Friday Fights 88, the accomplishment in front of him was a clean decision win over a seasoned opponent.
The bout also showed why Ortikov’s pressure was a key part of the matchup: he could lead with offense, keep working when Pompet tried to advance, and finish the three rounds with enough effective attacks to secure all three judges’ scorecards. Pompet had moments of forward movement, but Ortikov’s steadier scoring decided the contest.
