The promotion responded with two compelling replacements that maintain Friday\u2019s momentum.<\/p>\n<p>Vladimir Kuzmin meets newcomer Mohanad Battbootti in featherweight Muay Thai action while Mohammad Siasarani faces Pedro Dantas in featherweight kickboxing at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onefc.com\/events\/onefightnight39\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ONE Fight Night 39<\/a> on Friday, January 23, inside Bangkok, Thailand\u2019s Lumpinee Stadium. The additions fill gaps created when Sean Climaco suffered a foot injury and Lucas Gabriel withdrew from his lightweight MMA bout against Magomed Akaev.<\/p>\n<p>Kuzmin brings three years of ONE Championship experience into the clash with the undefeated Iraqi challenger. The 28-year-old Russian striker from Fight Club Archangel Michael made his promotional debut in February 2022. He scored a convincing unanimous decision over Chris Shaw. Two narrow decision losses followed against Muangthai PK Saenchai and Jonathan Haggerty. They proved he belongs among divisional elites despite the defeats.<\/p>\n<p>Three victories in his next four appearances established Kuzmin as a durable competitor who consistently takes fights the distance. His experience facing top-tier opposition provides valuable firepower against Battbootti, who enters his ONE debut carrying an unblemished 11-0 professional record. The 23-year-old newcomer faces an immediate step up in competition against the battle-tested Russian.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Mohammad Siasarani makes U.S. primetime debut against Pedro Dantas<\/p>\n<p>Mohammad Siasarani earned his moment through patience. The 23-year-old Team Mehdi Zatout fighter compiled an impressive 8-2 promotional record that includes victories over Jo Nattawut, Mohammed Boutasaa, Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong, Liu Mengyang, and Kaito Ono.<\/p>\n<p>His six-figure main roster contract came <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bjpenn.com\/mma-news\/mohammad-siasarani\/mohammad-siasaranis-turbulent-path-to-one-championships-main-roster\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">after knocking out Nattawut at ONE Friday Fights 137<\/a> last December in spectacular fashion. The second-round finish capped a four-fight winning streak that demonstrated his evolution from raw toughness to calculated finishing ability. His U.S. primetime debut provides a platform to showcase his skills before the global fan base.<\/p>\n<p>Pedro Dantas seeks his first promotional victory after a challenging start in ONE Championship. The 22-year-old Brazilian arrived with a pristine 6-0 record and perfect finishing rate as a second-generation MMA fighter. His promotional debut in featherweight MMA action against Ibragim Dauev resulted in a hard-fought unanimous decision defeat. The transition to kickboxing for his first all-striking contest under the ONE banner gives Dantas a chance to secure his breakthrough victory and establish momentum in a new discipline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Injuries forced ONE Championship into last-minute scrambling.
