Ilya Freymanov walked out of Lumpinee Boxing Stadium at ONE Fight Night 11 with a huge win under his belt. After finishing former divisional king Martin Nguyen, the Russian proved it was no fluke with a first-round finish of Shinechagtga Zoltsetseg. And his fellow countryman, Anatoly Malykhin, is among his biggest supporters.
