With the win, Cerilli inserts himself back into the ONE heavyweight title picture, after a KO loss to reigning champion Brandon Vera back in 2018. The 37-year-old improves to 14-4.
In defeat, Vagabov falls to 12-2 and sees his eight-fight winning streak snapped.
The lone kickboxing bout of the evening ended in stunning fashion. After exchanging heavy leather for all of a minute and 22 seconds, Russia’s Beybulat Isaev folded Serbia’s Mihajlo Kecojevic with a vicious right hand that will live long in the ONE Championship highlight reels.

In the opening bout of the evening, Senegalese sensation Oumar Kane made good on his ONE debut, defeating Alain Ngalani with vicious ground and pound in the first round.
After a feeling out process, ‘Reug Reug’ finally muscled Ngalani to the ground and began unloading heavy punches as ‘The Panther’ tried to get back to his feet. Before long, referee Olivier Coste had seen enough, waving off the fight much to the ire of the Cameroonian.
