ONE Fight Night 34: Eersel vs. Jarvis continues to build momentum with the addition of two championship-caliber bouts that could reshape title pictures in multiple divisions when the event hits Bangkok’s legendary Lumpinee Stadium on 2 August.
The enhanced card now features a pivotal featherweight MMA rematch between submission specialists Garry “The Lion Killer” Tonon and Shamil “The Cobra” Gasanov, plus a heavyweight MMA collision between rising stars Ben “Vanilla Thunder” Tynan and Kirill Grishenko.
Their first encounter at ONE Fight Night 12 in 2023 showcased elite-level grappling warfare. Despite facing early pressure from the Russian’s aggressive attack, Tonon demonstrated championship composure by securing a devastating kneebar in round two, delivering Gasanov’s lone career setback. The victory highlighted why the American remains one of MMA’s most feared ground fighters.
Both men have stayed busy since their initial meeting. Tonon added another highlight-reel submission to his resume by finishing former dual-champion Martin Nguyen this past January, while Gasanov has authored an impressive redemption story with four straight victories over world-class opposition.
This rematch carries enormous weight, as the victor likely positions themselves as the leading contender for Tang Kai’s ONE Featherweight MMA World Title, making every exchange potentially division-defining.
The heavyweight attraction between Tynan and Grishenko represents a fascinating study in contrasts. Tynan’s perfect professional record speaks to his devastating efficiency, with his 100 percent finishing rate and first-round dominance establishing him as one of the sport’s most promising prospects. His wrestling foundation and finishing instincts suggest championship potential.
Grishenko offers a compelling counter-narrative. After his unsuccessful 2022 challenge against Anatoly Malykhin for interim gold, the Belarusian giant has reinvented himself as a complete fighter, showcasing improved striking alongside his elite wrestling base during his current two-fight surge.
Both heavyweights understand this represents their pathway to eventual title contention in a division currently dominated by “Reug Reug” Oumar Kane.
ONE Fight Night 34 will be broadcast live on JioHotstar and Star Sports Select 2 at 6:30 a.m. India Standard Time (IST) on Saturday, 2 August.
