ONE Friday Fights 54 Results: Ortikov Beats Watcharaphon

ONE Friday Fights 54 brought 13 Muay Thai and MMA bouts to Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok on March 8, 2024. Aslamjon Ortikov defeated Watcharaphon Singha Mawynn by unanimous decision in the 129-pound Muay Thai main event, extending his unbeaten record.

Ortikov earns a clear decision

After an opening period in which both fighters gauged distance, Ortikov began landing more cleanly and increased his pace. He continued to use counters and pivots in the third round, limiting Watcharaphon’s opportunities to build offense. The judges gave Ortikov the unanimous decision.

The win moved Ortikov to 4-0 in ONE and 18-0 overall, as reported by the promotion at the time. That record reflects his status on the night of the event, rather than a current career total. The result was not an upset: ONE’s recap described Ortikov as unbeaten entering the bout.

Pompet wins a five-knockdown fight

Pompet Pongsuphan PK defeated Suriyanlek Por Yenying by unanimous decision in a 132-pound catchweight bout. The fighters combined for five knockdowns over three rounds: Pompet dropped Suriyanlek twice, Suriyanlek returned the favor twice, and Pompet scored the decisive fifth count late in the fight.

Tubtimthong Sor Jor Lekmuangnon also earned a unanimous decision over Khunsuk Sor Dechapan after scoring a knockdown in Round 2. In MMA, Yryskeldi Duisheev and Sanzhar Zakirov remained unbeaten in their respective bouts, according to ONE’s recap.

ONE Friday Fights 54 takeaway

Ortikov’s main-event decision was the central result, while Pompet and Suriyanlek produced one of the card’s most dramatic contests. The 13-bout show paired Muay Thai with MMA and featured both close decisions and decisive moments.

ONE’s recap credited Ortikov with recognizing Watcharaphon’s timing and improving through the later rounds. It also described five knockdowns in the Pompet–Suriyanlek bout, a reminder that the co-main event delivered a very different kind of contest from the measured main-event decision.
