ONE Friday Fights 74 stood out as one of the most memorable shows in the weekly series when ONE Championship returned to Bangkok, Thailand's iconic Lumpinee Stadium on 9 August.

The night's main event in the Thai capital saw Parham Gheirati earn his fifth straight win in ONE after he picked Yodphupa Petkiatpet apart across three rounds of bantamweight Muay Thai action.

The Iranian star put the pressure on Yodphupa from the get-go, hitting him with thunderous teeps to assert himself in the fight. To stamp his mark further, Gheirati dropped his foe with a huge left hook in the final minute of the first frame.

The knockdown seemed to wake the Thai up for the second round, though, as the pair fought from within the pocket. Yodphupa landed clean strikes of his own, but Gheirati's rate of fire continued to make the difference.

Furthermore, the 20-year-old put Yodphupa down again in the final frame with surgical knees to the body. Clearly being the fresher man, Gheirati cruised to a unanimous decision to go 5-0 in ONE.

The anticipated featured battle of the evening saw Russian wrecking machine Kirill Khomutov fight back to winning ways against Turkish tussler Ferzan Cicek in a thrilling bantamweight Muay Thai affair.

The opening round undoubtedly belonged to Cicek. His sweet striking allowed him to hit and not get hit and eventually halted one of the division's most revered strikers in Khomutov.

After revising his game plan, Khomutov turned the fight around by returning the crazy pace to Cicek, unleashing body shots to drain the Turkish star's tank. Once Cicek was on the ropes, Khomutov landed a sharp right hand at 2:50 of round two to return to winning ways.
