Gadzhimurad Amirzhanov knows how to impose his will, and ONE Championship stands to benefit from his exploits.
Dogged takedowns, suffocating top control and effective ground-and-pound carried the undefeated Russian prospect to a unanimous decision over Matheus Pereira in a three-round ONE Friday Fights 70 lightweight showcase on Friday at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. All three ringside judges scored it for Amirzhanov (6-0, 3-0 ONE), who was forced to go the distance for the first time since his December 2020 professional debut.
Pereira (7-3, 3-1 ONE) could not stay upright.
