At ONE Fight Night 49 on the morning of November 7, 2026, Kongthoranee Sor.Sommai lost a kickboxing rematch against his former opponent, while Nontachai Jitmuangnon secured a clear victory over a familiar foe. In the main event, Magomed Magomedov debuted with a dominant performance, ending Lucas Gabriel's unbeaten streak in the promotion.
Kongthoranee Sor.Sommai, a dangerous southpaw from Phetchabun, stepped into the kickboxing ring to continue his strong form against former opponent Taiki Naito, a skilled Japanese fighter hoping to even the score in their second meeting under kickboxing rules at flyweight (125-135 lbs).
Naito displayed clear mastery of the rule set, while Kongthoranee traded punches enjoyably from the first round. Late in the third round, Naito timed a perfect left hook that sent Kongthoranee crashing to the canvas for an eight-count just seconds before the bell, earning Naito a unanimous decision victory and extending his winning streak to four.
Meanwhile, Nontachai Jitmuangnon, a 27-year-old hard-hitting Muay Thai fighter from Chumphon, engaged in a second bout with Felipe Lobo, a 33-year-old Brazilian, to settle the score under Muay Thai rules at bantamweight (135-145 lbs).
Over three rounds, both men engaged in a fierce, back-and-forth battle. Lobo pressed forward with heavy punches, but Nontachai countered effectively with precise knees. The judges awarded Nontachai a unanimous decision based on more accurate strikes, confirming his dominance over Lobo and marking a strong return to form.
In the main event, Lucas Gabriel, an undefeated Brazilian on the ONE stage, faced Magomed Magomedov, an undefeated newcomer representing Bahrain, in a mixed martial arts (MMA) lightweight contest (155-170 lbs).
Throughout the fight, Magomedov invited grappling exchanges and maintained continuous control. Despite Gabriel's resilient defense and attempts to turn the tide, Magomedov secured a non-unanimous decision victory after three competitive rounds, handing Gabriel his first promotional loss and debuting with an impressive win.
