Avazbek Kholmirzaev seized the ONE Championship flyweight title at ONE Samurai 1 on April 30, stopping Yuya Wakamatsu by knockout in the second round at the 4:53 mark to become the promotion's new flyweight MMA champion.

The 25-year-old Kholmirzaev carried a record of 16 wins and 2 losses into the contest, going 10-1 inside the ONE Championship cage before his title-winning performance. His path to the finish was built on a striking game that showcased elite timing, creativity, and a finishing instinct that has defined his run in the promotion.

The event also delivered a landmark moment in combat sports with Takeru Segawa stopping Rodtang Jitmuangnon via TKO in the fifth round at 2:22 to claim the interim ONE kickboxing flyweight title.

  • Wakamatsu's defeat removes a proven finisher from the title picture and reshapes the flyweight landscape heading into the second half of 2026.
  • Rodtang's first stoppage loss in over a decade redraws the ONE kickboxing flyweight division entirely, with Segawa now holding the interim belt and a title unification on the horizon.
  • ONE Samurai 1 delivered multiple title fight results across MMA, kickboxing, and Muay Thai, signaling a significant night for the promotion's global standings across all three disciplines.
