On 7 December, ONE Fight Night 26 delivered epic martial arts action from start to finish. Fans inside Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, and those watching around the world witnessed a memorable submission, multiple knockouts, and many nail-biting close calls.

In the main event, reigning two-division ONE MMA World Champion Christian "The Warrior" Lee returned to action after more than two years to defend his lightweight crown against Alibeg Rasulov. While fans were eagerly waiting for his fight, it ended in disappointing fashion.

In round one, the pair traded shots to gain the upper hand. The action intensified in the second round when Lee attempted a takedown. But Rasulov quickly got back to his feet, avoiding any significant damage. Later, the Dagestani powerhouse landed some crisp punches.

But in the final minute of round two, Lee landed an unintentional eye poke on his challenger. Referee Herb Dean called an injury time out and the ringside doctor checked Rasulov. After few minutes, the doctor declared him unable to continue. As a result, the fight was declared no contest.

"I am sorry about the eye poke. It was completely unintentional. That's not how I wanted the fight to go. I do believe I was on track to win the fight. I am sure we will have rematch soon." he said.

In the other World Title bout of the event, Brazilian grappling superstar Mayssa Bastos defended her ONE Women's Atomweight Submission Grappling World Championship by defeating former titleholder Danielle Kelly for the second time in a row. Here is a look at the full results of ONE Fight Night 26:
