Garry Tonon walked into his rematch with Shamil Gasanov at ONE Fight Night 34 as the betting favorite — but this time, things didn’t go his way. Tonon had tapped Gasanov with a slick kneebar at ONE Fight Night 12 back in 2023, but while Tonon fought just once since, Gasanov stayed busy, stacking four straight wins and climbing into ONE Championship’s featherweight elite.
The stakes couldn’t have been higher: the winner likely gets the next title shot. Tonon immediately hunted the kneebar that beat Gasanov the first time, but Gasanov stuffed it instantly. From there, it was a tactical grind — Tonon’s striking looked sharp, and he even took Gasanov’s back late, but the Russian stayed calm, defended, and banked rounds with steady control.
When the scorecards came in, they all read the same: unanimous decision for Gasanov. He avenged his lone career loss and likely punched his ticket to a featherweight title shot. A trilogy with Tonon? At this point, it feels like just a matter of time.
ONE Fight Night 34 wasn’t just about the main event. Heavyweight veteran Kirill Grishenko outlasted Ben Tynan over three gritty rounds, while Elbek Alishov snatched a first‑round arm‑triangle choke on Jeremy Pacatiw to grab the night’s first submission. And Ryugo Takeuchi had the crowd roaring after a brutal knockout of Kang Ji‑Won in highlight‑reel fashion.
