Former ONE featherweight champion Thanh Le recaptured championship gold at ONE Fight Night 15 as he claimed the interim featherweight crown with a first-round finish of Russian contender Ilya Freymanov in Bangkok, Thailand.
Ilya Freymanov has come a long way in a short space of time in ONE Championship’s featherweight MMA realm. The Russian star has added two highlight-reel wins to his resume in his first year, and he’s ready to claim his biggest one yet this weekend.
When Ilya Freymanov arrived in ONE Championship, his debut performance saw him immediately enter the featherweight rankings by dominantly dispatching Martin Nguyen last October at ONE Fight Night 2.
