Welcome to the latest version of Missing Fists. Here we shed light on battles from all over the world. These busy times may have been overlooked.
Just putting up a list of MMA’s most explosive fighter jets to commemorate July 4th, and if this week’s regional and international highlights were any indication, then you may have missed some.

Suriyanlek vs. Rambong
Sangherek vs. Alexey Balyo
Sangherek vs. Alexey Balyo
Some accounts don’t work for one championship right now, but that shouldn’t stop anyone from evaluating great athletes who step into the ring every week. The latest Friday fight event held in Bangkok, Thailand was highlighted by Gingsanglek finishing Alexey Balyko and with a dreamy backfisted knockout (or nightmare depending on your perspective).

There was a hard knock and it happened to poor Baliko. His body was a rope that was not there to save him, and his body would have been kicked out of the ring. Gingsanglek, you’re a very, very bad guy.
The main event finish was nothing to sneeze as Suryanlek left Lambon to sleep with the ropes in a brutal gust of wind.
The lambong remained frozen like an amber fly. This KO will be saved forever.

Han Sang-Koner vs. Yeo jewoo
Wait, did someone say the troublesome elbow Ko? Han Sang Kwon, show me what you have!
From Road FC 73 in Seoul, Han stepped into spinning and drove his elbows past Yofu’s face. It happened so fast, I don’t know if Yo had a face after that.
Zakaria Elhanna vs. Matusalem Dos Santos
At Ares FC 33 in Nantes, France, Zacharia El Hannah was brought to the top with Matusalem dos Santos frailed onto the canvas and came up with his right hand.
The French heavyweight has been competing in his third professional match after making his debut a year ago, but his technique leaves plenty to be desired, but he has already shown power and style in the spades.
Islam Youssef vs. Benyamin Ghahreman
Amir Fazli vs. Rostem Akman
Amir Fazli vs. Rostem Akman
Islam Youssef gave me one of the best knockouts of the year at PFL Mena 2, so check out the article on its brilliance.
And you definitely don’t miss out on what Amir Fazli made into former UFC fighter Rostem Akman.
Light out
Amir Fazli connects to the right of a massive overhand, and the first welterweight match of the night ends with a vicious second round KO

Fazli not only flew Akman’s mouthpiece, but he also sent almost all the flying hair out of his body in the shot. If you’ve seen Akman before, you know how impressive it is.
Born Terence Sinty vs. Tyco van den Burg

Incidentally, how many unnecessary hammer fists were there this week? This is ridiculous. Gregory Rodriguez, I’m looking at you inspiring this rude behavior.
Kasim Aras vs. Adam Palasz
At least there’s one finish where all ground strikes were absolutely necessary, but not so scary.
Big heavyweight debut!
Former LFL champion Kasim Aras made his highly impressive Oktagon debut last weekend, stopping Pałasz in the first round.

– Oktagon (@oktagonofficial) July 3, 2025
Kasim Aras absolutely raided Adam Palasz at the Oktagon 73 event in Hamburg, Germany. I’ve made a cliché and say he treated Pallas like a chew toy, but last time I checked that he didn’t gging mercy toy.
Since a 1-4 slump that included two losses at Bellator, ARAS has bounced back in back-to-back victories this December in the A-level Fight League Championship. Arras is only 37 years old and give this young gun a chance, Uncle Dana!
