The top two bouts were the tournament semifinals, with Sitthichai facing Davit Kira on one side of the bracket, while Smokin’ Jo Nattawut took on Chingiz Allazov in the other semifinal match-up. An alternate bout, featuring Ivan Kondratev verus Dovydas Rimkus, was set to unfold earlier in the evening.

On the MMA side of things, South Korea’s Kim Jae Woong faced off with China’s Tang Kai, while Jarred “The Monkey God” Brooks looked to make it two wins in ONE Championship, and four in a row overall, when he faced Hiroba Minowa of Japan.

Update: ONE officials have confirmed that Woong vs. Kai is off. “Kim Jae Woong had to withdraw from his fight against Tang Kai due to an undisclosed medical issue,” the promotion stated on social media early Friday. As a result, Hiroyuki Tetsuka vs. Edson Marques has been promoted to the main card.

Full results from ONE: Only the Brave can be found below. A live stream of the action, where available, can be viewed above. The event gets underway on Friday, January 28, 2022 live from Singapore.

The former Glory Kickboxing and Lumpinee Stadium champion went the distance with countryman Tawanchai, pulling off a split decision win in the featherweight contest. The victory saw Sitthichai bounce back from a loss to Superbon Banchamek (his third in the pair’s career series).

While no title was on the line at Battleground III, there were some high stakes. Earlier on in the evening, Jenelyn Olsim took KOTC vet Bi Nguyen the distance, earning a unanimous decision victory in the process. That lands Olsim in the upcoming atomweight grand prix as an alternate, with the tournament kicking off next month on September 3.
