Nepal’s rising MMA sensation, Rabindra Dhant, has extended his flawless professional record with a stunning victory in Bangkok, Thailand. Competing in the opening bout of ONE Friday Fights, Rabindra stopped Russian opponent Torepchi Dongak in the third round via Technical Knockout (TKO), cementing his status as a fighter to watch.
The victory marks Rabindra’s sixth professional win and makes him the first Nepali fighter ever to secure a victory in ONE Friday Fights. The fight, scheduled for three five-minute rounds, was waved off by the referee less than two minutes into the final round, after Rabindra’s relentless takedowns and pressure overwhelmed Dongak.
This historic moment comes just weeks after Rabindra earned his spot in ONE Championship by defeating an Indian fighter in the Nepal Warriors Championship. With this win, his path to competing at the highest level of global MMA looks brighter than ever.
Hailing from Bajhang, Nepal, Rabindra’s journey is one of determination and grit. Initially moving to India in search of work due to financial hardships, he completed his SLC in Nepal, worked various jobs, and began training in karate and mixed martial arts. Over the past few years, he has honed his skills at Lock and Roll MMA in Nepal, under the management of Divij Piya, collecting multiple wins in India before stepping onto the international stage.
With this TKO victory in Thailand, Rabindra Dhant is not just chasing his dream—he’s rewriting the history of Nepali MMA.
