ONE Friday Fights 22: Arjan Bhullar vs. Anatoly Malykhin Live Results & Highlights
ONE Championship is back today for the latest instalment in its Friday Fights series, and it’s one for the early risers in the United States.
The event, ONE Friday Fights 22, is currently underway at the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. “The Mecca of Muay Thai” is once again playing host to some prominent names and rising up-and-comers in the striking-only sport, but this time, much attention is on a significant mixed martial arts offering.
The main attraction for MMA enthusiasts will be the biggest heavyweight fight in ONE Championship history, as reigning champion Arjan Bhullar returns for the first time since 2021 to unify the title against light heavyweight kingpin and interim heavyweight champion Anatoly Malykhin.
Given the anticipation surrounding Bhullar’s return and the destructive path his undefeated Russian opponent has been on, the matchup looks set to provide action worth waking up for.

Elsewhere, ONE Flyweight Kickboxing Champion Superlek Kiatmoo9 will venture to “The Art of the Eight Limbs” to battle debuting 19-year-old Nabil Anane and former Glory champion and current #2-ranked ONE featherweight Muay Thai contender Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong will look to defend his ranking against America’s Eddie Abasolo.
