ONE Championship has another bumper card on tap this weekend.
ONE Fight Night 25 goes down live in United States primetime from the historic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on October 5.
In the main event, ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Champion Alexis Nicolas puts his crown on the line against the man he dethroned earlier this year, Regian Eersel.
“Barboza” shocked the world when he snapped Eersel’s 22-fight win streak by unanimous decision at ONE Fight Night 21, and now the undefeated Frenchman is ready to show the world that it was no fluke.
Eersel, still the lightweight Muay Thai king, had held the lightweight kickboxing strap since 2019, and “The Immortal” will be desperate to reclaim his place as the undisputed best lightweight striker on the planet.
An action-packed flyweight Muay Thai showdown will serve as the co-headliner, as Kongthoranee Sor Sommai meets experienced Russian star Tagir Khalilov.
After reeling off a stunning seven-fight win streak, Kongthoranee ran into two-weight, two-division ONE World Champion Superlek Kiatmoo9 in his last outing.
The Thai star went down by unanimous decision despite a spirited performance back in June, and he’ll be desperate to kick off another win streak as he eyes a World Title shot.
Khalilov, on the other hand, will have designs on reclaiming a spot in the stacked division’s top five.
“Samingpri” has fought a who’s who of the flyweight Muay Thai elite, and a win over Kongthoranee would put him back on track to rematches with former foes Superlek and ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon.
