ONE Friday Fights 54 kicked off a huge weekend of martial arts action for ONE Championship. The promotion delivered another stacked Muay Thai and MMA card at the world famous Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

The event featured scintillating slugfests and barnburner brawls across 13 scheduled contests. The main event saw Aslamjon Ortikov keep his unbeaten record intact as he toppled Watcharaphon Singha Mawynn by unanimous decision in a calm and collected performance across three rounds of 129-pound catchweight Muay Thai.

The bout opened up with both fighters waiting patiently for their adversary to commit to a strike. But it wasn't long until Ortikov began to figure out Watcharaphon's habits, and the Uzbekistani started to control the frame.

With the first round all but pocketed, Ortikov began to come alive. He landed the better punches across the three minutes of action and kept a frantic pace on Watcharaphon.

Ortikov continued to grow into the contest as the third round ensued. The untameable fighter looked to be cruising to the finish line having cleverly utilized his counter strikes and pivots to avoid any dangerous moments to move to an impressive 18-0.

The co-main event pitted Pompet PK Saenchai against Suriyanlek Por Yenying in a war for the ages, as the Thai standouts threw hell for leather across three rounds of 132-pound catchweight Muay Thai.

Suriyanlek suffered a stunning knockdown in the first round, but he remained relentless when he regained his composure. In the second frame, Suriyanlek got even by knocking down Pompet with a right hand of his own.

In a tailspin, Pompet landed another brutal right hand to put Suriyanlek down once more. However, the latter was saved by the bell and able to see the final round.

Pompet's second wind helped him take charge in the final round, forcing Suriyanlek to wilt under the pressure and fall once again. Somehow, Suriyanlek got back to his feet. But ultimately, Pompet could not be denied the unanimous decision win. Here is a look at the final results:
