ONE Championship: Tonon eyes title run after 18-month absence, but first Gasanov
Injuries and contract disputes have kept Garry Tonon away from the ring for the past 18 months, now he is ready to make up for lost time. The American grappling ace returns to the cage in August at ONE Fight Night 34, looking to pick up where he left off by submitting Shamil Gasanov for a second time. Tonon last faced Gasanov two years ago, earning a decisive kneebar victory at ONE Fight Night 12. But with the Russian stringing together four straight wins since that defeat, he has worked his way back into a featherweight rematch with the former title challenger. 'There's some people saying, 'why this rematch after a pretty decisive victory?'' Tonon told the Post. 'But he won four in a row. He's worked his way up the ladder. 'Who else is he really supposed to fight? This match is as good as any, and he certainly has worked his way back up to deserving it.' Play While fans have not seen Tonon compete since January last year, when he beat Martin Nguyen in Tokyo at ONE 165, he has kept busy, building a new gym in Austin, Texas, and using the downtime to address lingering injuries.

AGENTS launches advanced TDAC submission platform for travel professionals
While the platform is optimized for group submissions, regular travelers are also welcome to use the AGENTS TDAC system. AGENTS CO., LTD. has launched a dedicated platform for submitting Thailand Digital Arrival Cards (TDAC), built specifically to support travel agents, tour operators, and travel service providers managing group travel. The system is designed to eliminate the stress of last-minute filings and make the TDAC process faster, more flexible, and more reliable for everyone involved. One of the platform's standout features is its support for full pre-submission edits, allowing agents to adjust any application at any point before submission. The system even allows edits after a TDAC has been issued, giving agencies far greater control than the official government platform provides. For submissions made within 72 hours of arrival, the service is completely free. There is no charge to travelers or agents using the platform during the standard submission window. For those who want to prepare in advance, the platform offers automatic timed submission, ensuring that each TDAC is filed at the earliest eligible moment. Early submission pricing ranges from $0.50 to $8 per applicant, depending on group size, with larger groups benefiting from lower per-person costs. The AGENTS TDAC platform also solves a common and frustrating issue with the government system: session timeouts and unexpected errors. The official TDAC website can force users to start over if the session expires, or if a network or system error occurs mid-submission. You can imagine how disruptive this could be if you're submitting for a group of four travelers, or worse, thirty. In contrast, the AGENTS platform uses a fully resumable form, saving your progress automatically so you can continue later without losing any data or having to start from scratch. Another significant advantage for group travelers is the individual TDAC delivery system. Unlike the official government platform that combines all travelers into a single document (creating privacy concerns when distributing to group members), the AGENTS system generates separate TDACs for each person. Every traveler receives their own TDAC directly to their personal email address, ensuring privacy and individual document control. This is especially valuable for visa applications such as the Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa, which requires individual TDACs rather than group documents. Travel agents and tour operators benefit from this privacy-focused approach while still maintaining convenient group management through a single download option for all TDACs. Key features include: Unlimited draft sessions that never expire unless deleted Fully resumable form with no session timeouts or forced restarts Instant reload of previously submitted data Unlimited edits before submission Ability to edit even after TDAC has been issued Automatic submission for early-prepared applications Approvals typically issued within 1 to 5 minutes for submissions inside 72 hours No group size limit Individual TDACs issued per traveler to meet documentation requirements Optional eSIM purchase at checkout, often priced below retail While the platform is optimized for group submissions, regular travelers are also welcome to use the AGENTS TDAC system. Travelers submitting within 72 hours of arrival can use the platform at no cost. Those who wish to submit early may choose the optional paid service for added convenience and peace of mind. Official TDAC information page by AGENTS ( ) The system proved its reliability during a major outage on May 7, when the official TDAC site became inaccessible. Hundreds of travelers and agents successfully used the AGENTS platform to complete their submissions, with over 99 percent receiving their TDACs without delay most of them completely free. AGENTS CO., LTD. has a strong track record supporting international travelers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the company launched the ASQ hotel booking platform and provided Thailand Pass support to hundreds of thousands of arrivals. All personal data submitted through the platform is handled in full compliance with Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). Travelers and agencies are reminded to verify the authenticity of TDAC-related websites. The official government TDAC form is hosted at If using a third-party service, look for a . or . domain to ensure the provider is properly registered in Thailand.

Dvalishvili, Harrison win bantamweight belts at UFC 316
NEWARK, New Jersey :Georgia's Merab Dvalishvili scored a second-round submission win over Sean O'Malley to retain his bantamweight title at UFC 316 on Saturday, with Kayla Harrison also winning by submission in the co-main event, tapping out Juliana Pena to claim the women's bantamweight crown. With President Donald Trump sitting cage-side at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, Dvalishvili set about defending the title he won from O'Malley in September by putting his opponent under tremendous early pressure, stalking him around the cage and mixing up his striking with takedown attempts. O'Malley defended well against his opponent's aggressive offensive wrestling but was eventually taken down in both rounds, and Dvalishvili ended the fight by using his crushing top pressure to secure a choke at the 4:42 mark of the second round. "I'm on top of the world. I'm a world champion. I come from nothing. I'm so grateful to inspire so many young generations to show my example," the 34-year-old Dvalishvili said in a post-fight interview. Asked about his incredible stamina and pressure, he said he was nothing special and that it all came down to training. "It's just work - every day, repeat, training. You know, number one for me is just wake up, training and after I can hang out, enjoy with my friends, go to church, looking for wife or whatever you want to do," he explained. In the co-main event, two-time Olympic judo champion Harrison used her superb grappling to dominate Pena, locking in a kimura submission with five seconds to go in the second round. In her victory speech, Harrison called out retired Brazilian former two-weight champ Amanda Nunes, summoning her into the cage where the two agreed that they would face off in a future fight. Nunes has not fought since beating Irene Aldana in June 2023.

Cody Chovancek looks to defend Unified MMA bantamweight title, make UFC take notice
Cody Chovancek won the Unified MMA bantamweight championship in June 2024 with a particularly nasty calf slicer submission victory over previously unbeaten American Gage (The Gremlin) Gill. And there will likely be more pain Friday when the 26-year-old from Petrolia, Ont., defends his 135-pound title against American Jordan Howard in the Unified 62 main event at the Rebel Entertainment Complex in Toronto. Chovancek (7-0-0) hopes another win will open the door to the UFC. 'It's my time,' he said matter-of-factly. 'I'm going to go out there and do what I do. Give the fans an exciting fight. I've got knockout power in both hands. I can do it all. I want the UFC. I want [UFC president] Dana White, [matchmakers] Mick Maynard, Sean Shelby to let me fight in my 20s in the greatest promotion in the world, the UFC. 'I know they'll be watching [on UFC Fight Pass] and I'll earn my spot on [Friday].' Chovancek turned heads with the painful calf slicer submission in the fifth round against Gill. The move involves using your leg to hook an opponent's leg and then, using your other foot to brace that leg, pulling the opponent's limb back against the grain, so to speak. Done right, it can tear the calf and injure the knee joint. 'Normally when I do it to people in training, they tap very quickly,' Chovancek said. He trains at Niagara Top Team in St. Catharines, Ont., alongside (Proper) Mike Malott and Jasmine Jasudavicius, both of whom posted convincing wins at UFC 315 in Montreal last month. Chovancek was taking it all in fight week, also fitting in some training sessions at TriStar Gym. 'It's really cool to see behind the scenes, how everything works in the UFC because that's where I'm going to be – very shortly,' he said. 'And to see those guys go out there and perform the way they did, it just speaks to the training that we're doing. We're doing all the right things and it can take us to the highest level.' Chovancek has been involved with other UFC shows. In Edmonton in November, he was on standby in case a 135-pounder had to drop off the card. But in Montreal, he was involved in more of the fight week proceedings, including taking the stage with Jasudavicius for the ceremonial weigh-in. Fights have been hard to come by for Chovancek, who had two bouts in 2023 and just one last year. 'It's rough once you're at certain spot,' he said. He had been waiting, in case the UFC called with another short-notice opportunity. 'But I didn't feel like waiting any more,' he said. 'I want to get out there and give the fans what they want to see. I truly believe this will be my last fight on the regional scene.' He sees Friday as a chance for one more show in front of friends and family, hopefully followed later this year by an invitation to showcase his skills on 'Dana White's Contender Series' – the road Malott and Jasudavicius travelled to the promotion. Chovancek applied unsuccessfully for a spot on a cast of Season 32 of 'The Ultimate Fighter,' where he would have competed up a division at featherweight. 'I believe everything happens for a reason and it's just given me more time to hone my skills before the big show,' he said. The five-foot-nine Chovancek, who normally walks around at 160 pounds, fought as a featherweight (145 pounds) in his first three pro fights. He is in 3-0-0 in Unified MMA action and has gone the distance just twice as a pro. Four of his bouts did not make it past the second round. Howard (12-5-5) went 2-2-0 in Bellator. 'I don't think he's fought anyone with this much experience thus far,' Howard speaking in a social media post, said of Chovancek. 'And not just experience but experience at a high level, under the big lights.' Chovancek agrees the 35-year-old Howard is a step up in class but is not fazed. 'He's probably the best fighter I've fought,' said Chovancek. 'It's just going to bring out a better performance in me. The better the opposition, the better I perform.' Chovancek, who is half-Thai, grew up in southwestern Ontario, some 25 kilometres southeast of Sarnia. 'There wasn't a whole lot to do there (other) than fight and fish,' he said. Chovancek started wrestling in high school then added kick-boxing at 16. He had just turned 18 when he had his first amateur MMA fight in August 2016. A year later, he went to Thailand to train. Chovancek has spent five years training at Niagara Top Team where he teaches Muay Thai classes, putting aside his job as a steel framer.
