ONE Championship returned on Friday night (January 10) with ONE Fight Night 27 at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Tang Kai vs. Akbar Adbullaev

The card’s main event was a catchweight MMA bout between ONE Featherweight Champion Tang Kai and the undefeated Akbar Abdullaev.

Abdullaev unfortunately missed weight ahead of ONE Fight Night 27 and was ineligible to win Tang's featherweight belt, but the undefeated fighter did preserve his 100% finishing rate and perfect pro record when he stopped the champion with strikes to cap off a dominant performance.

The night’s co-main event was a catchweight Muay Thai bout featuring Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai and former ONE MMA titleholder John Lineker.

A longtime veteran of the UFC and ONE Championship, Lineker made the jump to 4 oz. Muay Thai last year and scored back-to-back knockouts against Asa Ten Pow and Alexey Balyko. “Hands of Stone” scored a first-round knockdown at ONE Fight Night 27 that looked as if it might be enough to secure a third-straight victory, but Uthai dominated rounds two and three to earn a unanimous decision.
