Video: Shocking moment shows fighter electrocuted during celebration
Former ONE Championship fighter Ivan Parshikov received the literal shock of his life after winning a boxing match in Thailand.
On Thursday, video surfaced on X showing the truly shocking moment as Parshikov climbed on the ropes to celebrate his victory at a Weed Boxing Championship event. For some reason (who the heck knows why?), the ring was surrounded by water. And when Parshikov grabbed hold of a light fixture, he was instantly electrocuted, which can be heard in the video.
At that moment, Parshikov's body goes limp as he crashes to the canvas outside the ropes. Somehow he wakes up moments later and, if you can believe this, he manages to swim away!

We hereby declare Ivan Parshikov THE MOST ELECTRIFYING MAN IN COMBAT SPORTS.

Kevin Holland's crazy pace continues with Daniel Rodriguez booking at UFC 318
Kevin Holland said he wanted to stay busy this year, and he'll do just that. Holland (28-13 MMA, 15-10 UFC) has been booked for a welterweight fight against Daniel Rodriguez (19-5 MMA, 9-4 UFC) next month at UFC 318, which takes place July 19 at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. The card features a trilogy bout between the retiring local Dustin Poirier and Max Holloway for the BMF title. MMA Junkie confirmed the matchup with a person with knowledge of the fight, and Holland confirmed the booking on social media. The UFC has not yet made a formal announcement of the bout, which first surfaced on social media. The two were booked to fight at UFC 279 nearly three years ago, but a weigh-in day abnormality pushed Holland into a new fight with Khamzat Chimaev, which he lost, and Rodriguez into a new fight with Jingliang Li, which he won. Holland has fought three times already this calendar year. In the UFC's first event of 2025, he was submitted by promotional newcomer Reinier de Ridder, a former two-division ONE Championship titleholder. But in March, he rebounded with a bonus-winning decision over Gunnar Nelson, and earlier this month he submitted Vicente Luque at UFC 316 for a second straight bonus. Rodriguez has bounced back from a rough patch of three straight losses to Neil Magny, Ian Machado Garry and Kelvin Gastelium with a decision win over Alex Morono this past fall and a third-round knockout of Santiago Ponzinibbio in May. That was his first stoppage win in nearly four years. With the addition, the UFC 318 lineup now includes:

'Reug Reug' vs. Anatoly Malykhin heavyweight title rematch booked for ONE 173
"Reug Reug" is set to make his first ONE Championship title defense against a familiar foe. They're running it back. Oumar Kane, better known as "Reug Reug," is set to defend his ONE Championship heavyweight title against the man from whom he won it, Anatoly Malykhin. The two are set to clash in the co-main event of ONE 173, which is set to go down on Nov. 16 at Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan. Superbon vs. Masaaki Noiri, a ONE featherweight kickboxing title unification bout, will serve as the main event of the card. ONE Championship announced the news of the two title bouts on Monday morning. "Reug Reug" (7-1) won the ONE Championship heavyweight title in November of last year, beating Malykhin in a big upset. Many didn't see the Senegalese dethroning Malykhin, but he managed to do so in a split decision. "Reug Reug" earned MMA Junkie's 2024 Upset of the Year with the victory. The 33-year-old is on a four-fight winning streak. On the other hand, Malykhin (14-1) is looking to restore his standing as a three-division champion, as he currently holds both the light heavyweight and middleweight ONE Championship belts. The loss to "Reug Reug" marked Malykhin's first professional defeat in his 15-fight MMA career
