ONE Friday Fights 169 Co-Main Event Result: Arman Moradi’s Crushing Knee Folds Dansiam In Round Two

Iranian wrecking machine Arman Moradi showcased pristine timing and crushing power to spoil Dansiam Weerasakreck‘s promotional debut via knockout at ONE Friday Fights 169.

Their featherweight Muay Thai clash served as the co-main event of the Asia primetime card, which took place inside the revered Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, September 4.

Dansiam got the ball rolling, digging heavy left front kicks into Moradi’s body to establish his range. But the latter retaliated with a forward rush and back-to-back uppercuts, turning the exchange into a brief collar tie where he softened the Thai with knees to the body.

Noticing the pattern in those blitzes, the 24-year-old Dansiam began countering with a well-placed left hook. The Weerasakreck Muay Thai Gym standout even successfully landed a sharp elbow as the two warriors disengaged.

Unfazed by the counterattacks, Moradi continued to mix up his heavy punch combinations, punctuating his offense with a spinning backfist as the opening round closed.

Wary of the clinch entering the second canto, Dansiam sought to operate from distance with kicks from the outside. However, the Petchsaman Gym athlete kept imposing his strength, bullrushing his foe to force close-range exchanges while finding continued success with thudding combinations to the midsection.

A ballistic teep cornered Dansiam near the ropes, and Moradi seized the moment. He unleashed a crushing step-in knee to the gut that immediately dropped the Thai to the canvas at the 2:36 mark of the second canto.

The finish handed the 22-year-old his second straight victory in the weekly series and the most emphatic result of his career thus far, elevating his record to 23-7.
