ANYTHING COMBAT WITH JOHNNY K: ASLAMJON ORTIKOV ROUND 2
Aslamjon “El Pantera” Ortikov is back on the show.
Ortikov fought Asadula Imangazaliev for the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title at Lumpinee Stadium — and lost by the thinnest of margins. The crowd booed the decision. Now he gets the rematch as a quarterfinal in the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix at The Inner Circle 39 on 20 November, and he’s not leaving Bangkok without the belt.
Johnny K sits down with Ortikov ahead of fight night to break down the first fight round by round, including how he scored it against the judges and the one thing he’d do differently in the last round. He explains why the second fight is going to look completely different, what he’s working on in training at TC Muaythai and during his sparring trips to Daniel’s gym in Pattaya, and why he sees the Grand Prix as a chance for Uzbekistan to take home two belts from one tournament.

ANYTHING COMBAT WITH JOHNNY K: ISMAIL NAURDIEV
Born in Grozny, Chechnya. Raised in Salzburg, Austria. Fighting out of Rabat, Morocco. Five-time Austrian national wrestling champion. UFC middleweight. Johnny K sits down with "The Austrian Wonderboy" for one of the most layered conversations the podcast has had — a fighter who had to be cut from the UFC, rebuild himself, and earn his way back to the organisation with a point to prove. He talks through his first-round KO of Ryan Loder in Qatar, what that finish meant after years of grinding, and where his head is at heading into the next chapter of his UFC career. He takes us behind the scenes of Kill Cliff FC in Florida one of the most competitive training environments in the sport his private camps in Morocco, his time at Wild Card Boxing with Freddie Roach, and what it means to share a cage-side with Brendan Allen and train alongside fighters at the highest level. Ismail gets into his relationship with Mairbek Taisumov the Chechen-Austrian fighter who proved to him that someone from Austria could make it to the top of MMA, and who became one of the most important figures in his career.
This podcast occured before the rescheduling of the confirmed upcoming bout against Marvin Vettori at UFC 332 Oct 3.
