Tomyamkoong Bhumjaithai continued his impressive winning streak with a dominant performance over ONE Championship debutant Bejenuta ‘Gladiator’ Maximus. The fight, which took place at ONE Friday Fights 149 at the renowned Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, ended in a TKO victory for Bhumjaithai at 1:41 of the third round.
From the outset, Bhumjaithai looked confident and controlled. While Maximus, the 24-year-old Moldovan, attempted to disrupt his rhythm with unpredictable strikes and movements, Bhumjaithai remained composed, focusing on his own game. He avoided being dragged into a chaotic exchange, picking his shots carefully.
Maximus employed a counter-attacking approach in the second round, trying to outmaneuver Bhumjaithai. However, the Thai fighter’s tactical movement and precision led to a key moment, where a sharp straight right to the body sent Maximus’ knees buckling, marking a pivotal moment in the match.
The third round saw Bhumjaithai maintain his composure and increase his pressure. Maximus struggled to keep up as Bhumjaithai expertly cut off his movement and landed a devastating left hand that dropped his opponent. Maximus managed to get back to his feet, but Bhumjaithai wasted no time, clinching his opponent and unleashing a barrage of elbows and knees. With Maximus unable to defend himself, the referee intervened to stop the fight.
This victory marks Bhumjaithai’s third consecutive win, bringing his professional record to an impressive 127 victories. With this performance, Bhumjaithai firmly establishes himself as a rising contender in the flyweight division.
