Magomed Magomedov won a split decision over Lucas Gabriel in the ONE Fight Night 49 main event on Nov. 6 in Bangkok, closing out a bout that had already been reshaped by a missed-weight penalty, according to ONE Championship's own event page, independently corroborated by Cageside Press's results recap.

Magomedov, an unbeaten Russian lightweight making his ONE debut, had weighed in at 175.4 pounds on Friday, 5.4 pounds over the division's 170-pound limit, according to ONE's weigh-in and hydration test results, independently corroborated by MiddleEasy's report. He forfeited 30 percent of his purse to Gabriel, and the bout proceeded at a 175.4-pound catchweight. Lower on the card, Azerbaijani kickboxing debutant Gasham Mammadov also missed weight, coming in three pounds over the same limit, and forfeited 25 percent of his purse; he lost his bout to Bogdan Shumarov by unanimous decision.

Magomedov's main event slot was itself a late addition. He stepped in for Alibeg Rasulov, a former ONE lightweight MMA world title challenger who withdrew from the Gabriel fight due to injury, one of three bouts ONE reshuffled after injuries to Rasulov, flyweight kickboxer Johan Estupinan and Muay Thai fighter Katsuki Kitano, according to ONE's own announcement of the changes, independently corroborated by MiddleEasy's recap of the swaps. The Shumarov-Mammadov kickboxing bout was added to the card separately, according to ONE's full-card announcement.

The event ran as ONE's U.S. primetime card from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, streaming on Prime Video.

Corrections & updates

7 November 2026 An earlier version of this article said the Shumarov-Mammadov kickboxing bout was added after Shumarov's planned opponent Regian Eersel withdrew with an injury. On review, no source connected Eersel's unrelated, previously resolved bout fall-through to this booking. The article now states only that the bout was added separately, without attributing it to that cause.
