A Razor-Thin Victory: Asadula Imangazaliev Wins World Title in Five-Round Thriller

The famous Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, hosted a massive night of fights on Friday, June 26, 2026. Undefeated rising star Asadula "The Dagestani Ninja" Imangazaliev stepped into the ring to fight for the vacant ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Championship. His opponent for the big belt was the dangerous Aslamjon Ortikov at The Inner Circle 20 event. While some fans online mistakenly thought Ortikov was from Kazakhstan, the highly skilled striker proudly represents Uzbekistan, and he gave the champion the toughest test of his career.

From the very first round, the fight lived up to the hype. Imangazaliev, who recently became famous worldwide after UFC commentator Joe Rogan praised his skills, tried to use his knockout power early. However, Ortikov used fast footwork and smart counter-punches to stay safe and score points. Because this was a special world title fight, it lasted for five tough rounds instead of the usual three. Both undefeated fighters showed amazing heart and conditioning as they traded heavy punches and kicks.

In the end, the match was decided by the smallest margins. Imangazaliev’s heavy right hands and constant forward pressure in the final rounds made the difference for the officials ringside. After fifteen minutes of nonstop action, the judges awarded a close split-decision victory to Imangazaliev. By keeping his perfect record alive and winning the world title, "The Dagestani Ninja" proved he is one of the most exciting new champions in combat sports today
