Yod-IQ Vs. Nabati, Lobo Vs. Nontachai Explosive Muay Thai Showdowns Added To ONE Fight Night 43
ONE Fight Night 43: Tang vs. Gasanov on Prime Video has some serious firepower after the addition of two bantamweight Muay Thai showdowns, airing live in U.S. primetime from Bangkok’s legendary Lumpinee Stadium.
On Friday, May 15, newly contracted Yod-IQ Or Pimolsri faces undefeated Russian Kiamran Nabati, while former two-time ONE World Title challenger Felipe “Demolition Man” Lobo takes on Thai contender Nontachai Jitmuangnon.
Yod-IQ enters as one of the most in-form strikers in the sport. The 24-year-old owns a 126-36 professional record and built his reputation in ONE Friday Fights, where he secured 11 wins in 12 appearances.
After suffering his lone promotional defeat to Alexey Balyko in September 2023, the PK Saenchai Muaythaigym product responded with a nine-fight winning streak that reached a poetic conclusion in December 2025.
At ONE Friday Fights 137, Yod-IQ delivered a stunning first-round head-kick knockout of Balyko to avenge that loss, earning redemption and a life-changing US$100,000 contract.
Now he faces the toughest challenge of his career against a man who has never been beaten.
Nabati has been flawless since turning professional in 2015. The 31-year-old compiled a perfect 18-0 record across Europe, capturing the Fair Fight Muay Thai belt three times before arriving in ONE.
He wasted no time proving he belongs among the elite.
After winning his first two outings, Nabati earned a six-figure contract with a first-round knockout of Suablack Tor Pran49 at ONE Friday Fights 68 in June 2024. He then defeated former bantamweight Muay Thai king Nong-O Hama three months later.
Following a no contest against Ferrari Fairtex at ONE Friday Fights 95, Nabati looks to preserve his unblemished record against another elite opponent.
In the other bantamweight Muay Thai clash, Lobo and Nontachai collide in a high-octane showdown with major divisional implications.
A former ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai and Kickboxing World Title challenger, Lobo has long been a staple of the division’s upper echelon. The 32-year-old Brazilian holds notable wins over Rodlek PK Saenchai and Saemapetch Fairtex.
After coming up short in his most recent outing, “Demolition Man” enters with urgency. A victory could propel him back into World Title contention.
Standing in his way is a dangerous Thai contender.
The 26-year-old Nontachai has amassed over 50 career wins and holds five victories in ONE. The Road to ONE: Thailand winner carries a two-fight winning streak into this bout, capped by a dominant performance at ONE Friday Fights 145 — three knockdowns en route to a third-round TKO over Semih Sah Cindir.
Now he aims to secure the biggest victory of his career in U.S. primetime.
With four elite strikers and major stakes attached, these matchups add serious firepower to an already stacked ONE Fight Night 43.
