ONE Fight Night 11 is set for Lumpinee this Friday night (US time). After last months event in Denver the promotion returns to its usual venue for a card that is headlined by a Muay Thai title fight.

MMA fans should keep an eye out for the flyweight bout between Hu Yong and Sung Hoon Woo and the featherweight match pitting Ilya Freymanov against Shinechagtga Zoltsetseg. Both have definite ‘fight of the night’ potential.

Kickboxing: Rade Opa?i? vs. Guto Inocente (Heavyweight)

Serbian giant Rade Opacic is looking to avenge his only loss in six ONE Championship fights. He was stopped by an inocuous looking body shot from the Brazilian last year.

Inocente was stopped himself in his last outing, a first round demolition job by Roman Kryklia in the ONE Kickboxing Heavyweight Grand Prix semi-finals. Having proved he can hurt the Croatian to the body once he will surely be looking to repeat the trick.

Hu Yong vs. Sung Hoon Woo (Flyweight)

Hu Yong (10-4) came to prominence with the ONE Hero Series in China and knocked out former flyweight champion Geje Eustaquio with a huge right hand in his last outing. He started that fight with a flying knee and could have something similar in store here.

Sung Hoon Woo (10-3) is a southpaw who has some serious power. He stopped top flyweight contender Yuya Wakamatsu last time out, overpowering the Japanese prospect with hard punching combinations.

Martine Michieletto vs. Amber Kitchen (Strawweight)

Martine Michieletto gets to finally make her ONE Championship debut having pulled out of a fight with Anissa Meksen last year. She is very experienced and has won titles in both kickboxing and Muay Thai.

Amber Kitchen will be desperate to finally get a win under her belt in ONE Championship after three decision losses. She has faced some of the top fighters in the division and held her own, but faces another really though test against the decorated Italian.

Artem Belakh vs. Won Il Kwon (Bantamwweight)

Artem Belakh (10-2) is coming off a decision win over Leandro Issa. He somehow survived an armbar attempt from the BJJ black belt when the fight looked finished and showed tremendous heart and stamina

Won Il Kwon (12-4) represents a totally different type of challenge. The Korean is a standup specialist who is very tall for a bantamweight and likes to target the body with knees and punches.

Kickboxing: Nieky Holzken vs. Arian Sadikovi? (Lightweight)

It was a massive surprise when K-1 Max veteran Nieky Holzken was stopped by Sinsamut Klinmee but there were extenuating circumstances. He had prepared for a kickboxing bout with big gloves and ended up getting knocked out by a punch in a Muay Thai fight with MMA gloves,

Arian Sadikovic knocked down Regian Eersel in the second round of their fight. No-one has caused the Dutchman as many problems, including Holzken who dropped a decision to him twice, and the Bosnian will be looking to secure a rematch with a win here.

Mansur Malachiev vs. Jeremy Miado (Strawweight)

Mansur Malachiev (10-0) will be making his long awaited ONE Championship debut. The undefeated Russian wrestler was the Eagles FC flyweight and bantamweight champion.

Jeremy Miado (10-4) has showcased some impressive striking skills and has showcased some serious punching power during his current four fight winning streak. His takedown defence will definitely be tested here.

Ilya Freymanov vs. Shinechagtga Zoltsetseg (Featherweight)

Ilya Freymanov (11-2) rarely goes the distance and is coming off a first round stoppage win over Martin Nguyen. His background is in Muay Thai and kickboxing giving this ‘fight of the night’ potential.

Shinechagtga Zoltsetseg (6-3) has been in some wild wars but got a little carried away and landed a soccer kick in his last fight. That DQ loss snapped a four fight winning streak for the aggressive Mongolian who is guaranteed to come out all guns blazing here.

Kickboxing: Superbon Banchamek vs. Tayfun Ozcan (Featherweight)

Superbon Banchamek fights for the first time since his stunning KO loss to Chingiz Allazov. Prior to that he had been on devastating form with his head kick KO of Giorgio Petrosyan one of the most shocking moments in kickboxing history.

Tayfum Ozcan lost a close, back and forth battle to Marat Grigorian in his last fight. He also dropped a split decision to Sittichai Sitsongpeenong on his ONE Championship debut and will be looking to turn things around with a win over the former champion

Submission grappling: Kade Ruotolo vs. Tommy Langaker (For lightweight title)

Kade Ruotolo won gold at the ADCC World Championships last year. The BJJ black belt is one of the bets grapplers on the planet and is on an 18 match winning streak.

Tommy Langaker’s recent form isn’t quite as impressive but he has two wins out of two for ONE Championship. The Norwegian is also a BJJ black belt but has yet to win a world title.

Muay Thai: Regian Eersel (c) vs. Dmitry Menshikov (For lightweight title)

The shows main event is a clash between Suriname and Russia. This will be Eersel’s second defense of his ONE Muaythai Lightweight World title after a stunning come from behind KO win over Sinsamut Klinmee in his last fight. Dmirty Menshikov, comes into the fight with a big reputation as a knockout artist that has earned him an instant title shot.

ONE Fight Night 10 is set for the 1st Bank Center in Broomfield, Colo. this Friday night (May 5). It will be the promotion’s U.S. debut and is headlined by a flyweight trilogy title match between Demetrious Johnson and Adriano Moraes.

The event has reportedly sold out and is headlined by what looks likely to be Demetrious Johnson’s retirement fight.

Ok Rae Yoon vs. Lowen Tynanes (Lightweight)

Lowen Tynanes (11-1) has been on the ONE Championship roster since 2013 but has only fought eight times for the promotion due to a combination of illness and injury. The Hawaiian is coming off a split decision win over Dae Sung Park in December, his first victory since 2019.

Ok Rae Yoon (16-4) was last seen at ONE 160. He was stopped by Christian Lee in the opening round with the Hawaiian avenging his controversial split decision defeat but made his name in 2021 by winning the title, beating Marat Gafurov, Eddie Alvarez and Lee.

Zebaztian Kadestam vs. Roberto Soldi? (Lightweight)

Zebaztian Kadestam (14-7) is the former ONE Championship welterweight champion. The Swedish striking specialist is coming off back to back victories with both wins coming by way of first round knockout, he hits hard and likes to attack with knees and high kicks.

There was a lot of hype surrounding Roberto Soldic (20-3-0-1) ahead of his ONE Championship debut. But it finished in a No Contest after the Croatian boxer was unable to continue having been hit below the belt by Murad Ramazanov. This should produce fireworks.

Muay Thai: Jackie Buntan vs. Diandra Martin

Diandra Martin beat Amber Kitchen at ONE Fight Night 1. It was her first win for the promotion, she was stopped by current strawweight Muay Thai champion Smilla Sundell in her debut.

Jackie Buntan also lost to Sundell in a title bout last year although she went the distance. She beat Amber Kitchen in her most recent fight with both strawweights coming off losses and wins against the same opponents.

Kairat Akhmetov vs. Reece McLaren (Flyweight)

Kairat Akhmetov (29-2) is a wrestler with a big right hand but all nine of his ONE Championship fights have been the distance. He is a former champion and one of only three men to ever defeat Adriano Moraes.

Reece McLaren (16-8) is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) black belt. He has won four out of his last five with all of those victories coming inside the distance.

Submission Grappling: Reinier de Ridder vs. Tye Ruotolo (Middleweight)

Reinier de Ridder likes a challenge. The 6’4” BJJ and judo black belt moved up to heavyweight to try and win a third title in MMA last time out, here he is back down at middleweight facing one of the top submission specialists in the world in a submission grappling bout.

Tye Ruotolo won gold at the IBJJF world championships last year, competing in the under-76 kg division. His grappling credentials are superior to de Ridder’s but he is giving away eight inches in height.

Aung La Nsang vs. Fan Rong (Middleweight)

Aung La Nsang (28-13-0-1) is coming off two first round stoppage wins and always takes an aggressive approach. The 37 year old fights out of Kill Cliff MMA in Florida and will be looking to make it three in a row here.

Fan Rong (19-3) did not compete at all in 2022. He is a counter striker who will look to circle out and catch La Nsang on the way in.

Alyse Anderson vs. Stamp Fairtex (Atomweight)

Last year Stamp Fairtex (9-2) won the promotion’s atomweight Grand Prix and earned a title shot but was submitted in the second round by Angela Lee. She is a seasoned Muay Thai fighter who also holds a purple belt in BJJ.

Alyse Anderson (6-2) is a BJJ purple belt as well although she seems to think her ground game is better than Stamp’s. She will need takedowns because the American clearly won’t win a striking match with the Muay Thai veteran.

Ahmed Mujtaba vs. Sage Northcutt (Lightweight)

Ahmed Mujtaba (10-2) is coming off two extremely impressive first round stoppage wins. At ONE 163 last year he showcased his grappling skills to submit BJJ black belt Abraão Amorim with a triangle choke and he has momentum with him.

By contrast Sage Northcutt (10-3) was knocked out in the opening round of his ONE Championship debut in 2019 and hasn’t been seen since. His confidence could be shaky and Mujtaba will look to damage it in the opening exchanges.

Muay Thai: Rodtang Jitmuangnon (c) vs. Edgar Tabares (For flyweight title)

Rodtang Jitmuangnon has a big money fight with Takeru awaiting him if he can get through this unscathed. An in-shape, on-weight Rodtang should be too much for Edgar Tabares and if he has taken this contest seriously he should win it with something to spare.

Edgar Tabares is very aggressive but does leave himself open to counters. He will attack Rodtang, which should make for some entertaining exchanges, but the Thai has so much experience as well as a solid chin so the odds are against him.

Demetrious Johnson (c) vs. Adriano Moraes (For flyweight title)

Demetrious Johnson (24-4-1) is regarded as being the best flyweight of all time and successfully defended his UFC flyweight belt 11 times. He appears to be on the verge of retirement and it will be interesting to see if that mentality has an adverse affect.

Adriano Moraes (20-4) is a BJJ black belt and definitely isn’t about to retire. He and Johnson both hold a win apiece from their previous fights and they haven’t gone the distance in either of them.

ONE Fight Night 9 takes place at Lumpinee Stadium and will be headlined by a bantamweight Muay Thai title fight. Local favorite Nong-O Gaiyanghadao is defending his belt against Jonathan Haggerty.

Jhanlo Sangiao vs. Matias Farinelli (Bantamweight)

Jhanlo Sangiao (5-0) was still a teenager when he made his eagerly anticipated ONE Championship debut in 2021. He is the son of Team Lakay head coach and founder Mark Sangiao and will be desperate to win after some of the camp’s best fighters walked out earlier this year.

Matias Farinelli (4-0) only made his pro debut last year. The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) brown belt won five fights out of five but against low level opposition, preparing at Tiger Muay Thai won’t have done him any harm at all though.

Muay Thai: Han Zi Hao vs. Asa Ten Pow (Bantamweight)

Han Zi Hao is a veteran of seven ONE Championship fights. He is coming off a decision loss to Ferrari Fairtex last September.

Asa Ten Pow will come into the fight looking to make a statement after a nightmare debut. He was stopped in the opening round by Mehdi Zatout and will have a point to prove here.

Muay Thai: Saemapetch Fairtex vs Felipe Lobo (Bantamweight)

This will be Saemapetch Fairtex’s eleventh ONE Championship fight and he arguably posed Nong-O Gaiyanghadao more problems than anyone despite getting stopped by the champion. He comes into this contest on a two-fight winning streak and a victory would put him in contention for another shot at the champion.

Felipe Lobo will look to bounce back from his stoppage loss at the hands of Nong-O. He is an aggressive fighter who will use his hands to set up his kicks.

Meng Bo vs. Dayane Cardoso (Strawweight)

Chinese veteran Meng Bo (20-6) will be making her strawweight debut. Her main claim to fame is a 2013 win over Weili Zhang but she is coming off a very impressive stoppage victory over Jenelyn Olsim.

Dayane Cardoso (9-1-1) is coming off an impressive stoppage win of her own. She stopped Ayaka Miura in the second round to extend her winning streak to six and could be one more win away from a title shot.

Isi Fitikefu vs. Valmir da Silva (Welterweight)

Isi Fitikefu (7-1) suffered the first defeat of his career in his ONE Championship debut. He likes to plant his feet and throw hard punches but can leave himself open to counters.

Valmir da Silva (9-2) has a very wide stance and holds his hands low. He has got some solid low kicks and very rarely goes the distance, this has “fight of the night” potential.

Denice Zamboanga vs. Julie Mezabarba (Atomweight)

Denice Zamboanga (9-2) beat Lin Heqin at ONE Fight Night 5 to get herself back in the title mix after back-to-back decision losses to Seo Hee Ham. The Filipino is primarily a grappler and will want to get this one to the ground.

Julie Mezabarba (9-4-1) is coming off consecutive decision losses. She has been the distance in all three of her ONE Championship fights with the Brazilian’s sole win coming at the expense of Mei Yamaguchi.

Bokang Masunyane vs. Hiroba Minowa (Strawweight)

Bokang Masunyane (8-1) is a wrestler who met his match in Jarred Brooks. The South African normally looks to take opponents down but did score a very impressive head kick KO last year.

Hiroba Minowa (13-3) is very light on his feet with lots of lateral movement but likes to take opponents down. Just like his opponent he is coming off a loss to Brooks and this fight pits wrestler against wrestler again.

Halil Amir vs. Maurice Abévi (Lightweight)

Amir (8-0) knocked out Timofey Nastyukhin at ONE Fight Night 2. It was his promotional debut but the Turk already looks to be one of the most devastating strikers in the division.

In Bangkok he has been matched with promotional newcomer Maurice Abévi (6-0). The Swiss fighter has finished all six of his previous opponents inside the distance and will be appearing on a ONE Championship card for the first time.

Muay Thai: Nong-O Gaiyanghadao (c) vs. Jonathan Haggerty (For bantamweight title)

Nong-O Gaiyanghadao is the ultimate technician and can work out opponents and switch strategy during the course of a fight. He has finished his last five fights and will be constantly looking for openings against the tall Englishman.

Jonathan Haggerty dominated the flyweight division for a while but had problems making weight. For once he won’t have a height advantage but will try to keep Nong-O at bay with teeps and kicks and score with elbows at close range.

ONE Fight Night 8 is set for Singapore this weekend and will be broadcast live on Amazon Prime on Friday night in the US and Canada. The event will be headlined by a flyweight kickboxing fight.

Submission Grappling: Bianca Basílio vs. Tammi Musumeci (Strawweight)

Bianca Basiliao is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) black belt and multiple time world champion who was 15 when she won her first world title as a blue belt. She needed less than a minute to score a submission win on her ONE Championship debut.

All eyes will be on Tammi Musumeci because her brother already holds a ONE Championship title. She has been a black belt since 2013 and won the World Championships last year.

Muay Thai: Ekaterina Vandaryeva vs. Iman Barlow (Strawweight)

Iman Barlow picked up a win and a $50,000 bonus in her ONE Championship debut. That first round destruction of Daniela Lopez was a year ago and having seen her career disrupted due to Covid-19 cancellations she is looking to make up for lost time.

Ekaterina Vandaryeva comes into the match looking for her first win after three previous losses, though many argued that she deserved the decision in her last fight, after rocking Supergirl Jaroonsakgym badly in the second round. She has switched camp ahead of this fight and is now training alongside Chingiz Allazov and Roman Kryklia.

Muay Thai: Niclas Larsen vs. Eddie Abasolo (Featherweight )

Both fighters are looking to register their first win ONE Championship win although there is no shame in losing to Tawanchai PKSaenchaigym an Jimmy Vienot like Niclas Larsen did. He is comfortable in both stances and likes to make a fast start.

Eddie Abasalo was stopped by Liam Nolan but has dropped down a division since then. He is very elusive and can fire off fast punches and kicks while making opponent’s miss.

Alex Silva vs. Keito Yamakita (Strawweight)

Alex Silva (12-8) is the former ONE Championship strawweight champion but the 40 year old’s recent form has been mixed. He is a BJJ black belt and will always be a threat on the ground.

Keito Yamakita (7-0) looks to be a wrestler based on the very limited footage available. He will probably look to take the Brazilian down and control him on the ground.

Kickboxing: Zhang Peimian vs. Torepchi Dongak (Strawweight)

Zhang Peiman will be looking to bounce back after losing to title to Jonathan Di Bella in a strawweight kickboxing fight. That was a very entertaining contest and the Chinese fighter has some fast, powerful low kicks.

Torepchi Dongak is making his ONE Championship debut and has a reputation for hitting hard although there is very little footage available of the Russian.

Oh Ho Taek vs. Akbar Abdullaev (Featherweight)

Oh Ho Taek (9-2-1) comes into this contest on the back of a seven fight winning streak. The Korean didn’t look particularly impressive on his ONE Championship debut when he squeezed past Ryogo Takahashi in a highly uneventful three round fight.

Akbar Abdullaev (7-0) comes into his ONE Championship debut with a perfect professional record. He appears to be a striking specialist who likes to fire off fast punching combinations.

Itsuki Hirata vs. Seo Hee Ham (Atomweight)

Itsuki Hirata (6-1) is a judoka who is very dangerous with arm locks. But she is in danger of becoming better known for missing weight than winning fights and all eyes will be on the weigh ins here after the first fight was called off at the last minute.

Seo Hee Ham (25-8) refused to fight Hirata as a matter of principle when the Japanese fighter failed hydration tests and has been rewarded with a fight against the exact same opponent four months later. The Korean comes into this as a strong favorite.

Muay Thai: Allycia Rodrigues vs. Janet Todd (For atomweight title)

Allycia Rodrigues last fought in 2019 so it is very difficult to know what to expect from the Brazilian. She stood her ground against Stamp Fairtex and blocked a lot of the Thai fighter’s kicks but it wasn’t exactly an action packed fight.

Janet Todd has a much wider stance and looks to land punches and low kicks. Expect her to be the aggressor here with Rodriguez happy to stay in the pocket, soak everything up behind a high guard and land the occasional counter.

Kickboxing: Superlek Kiatmoo9 (c) vs. Danial Williams (For flyweight title)

Superlek Kiatmoo9 has always been known for his knees and kicks and has quite a traditional Muay Thai style. The majority of his ONE Championship fights have been the distance and he likes to pick opponents apart.

Danial Williams replaces the injured Rodtang Jitmuangnon. He had been training for a strawweight Muay Thai fight so might be on the small size but always takes the fight to opponents.

ONE Fight Night 7 is set for Bangkok this Friday night (US time). The card will take place at Lumpinee Stadium and will be headlined by a bantamweight title rematch between John Lineker and Fabricio Andrade.

All the action will take place inside a ring, not a cage. Last time out Andrade was dominating Lineker when he inadvertently kneed the Brazilian in the groin so hard that he could not continue.

Adrian Mattheis vs. Zelang Zhaxi (Strawweight)

Adrian Mattheis (10-6) is a veteran of 16 ONE Championship fights. The Indonesian has been on the roster since 2016 and is best known for knocking out former strawweight champion Alex Silva.

Zelang Zhaxi (16-7-1) was knocked out in the opening round by Danial Williams in his ONE Championship debut.

Linda Darrow vs. Victória Souza (Atomweight)

Linda Darrow (6-0) spent time training at the UFC Performance Institute and was clearly being scouted by the promotion. But she signed with ONE Championship instead and will be fighting for the first time since 2018.

Victoria Souza (6-1) was stopped by Victoria Lee in her ONE Championship debut. The Brazilian suffered a serious arm injury in that fight but is coming off a win on a small local show in her homeland.

Kickboxing: Andrei Stoica vs. Françesco Xhaja (Light Heavyweight)

Romanian star Andre Stoica is coming off a decision win over Giannis Stoforidis but has been out of action for almost a year. He is best known for a spectacular KO win over Anderson Silva in 2019.

Francesco Xhaja is coming of a stoppage loss to Rade Opacic. This has fight of the night potential with both men happy to stay in the pocked and trade punches.

Kickboxing: Saemapetch Fairtex vs. Zhang Chenglong (Bantamweight)

Saemapetch Fairtex will fight under kickboxing rules for the first time since signing for ONE Championship although he is no stranger to the sport having fought in China. He comes into the match on the back of a stunning KO win over Rittewada Petchyindee which snapped a run of two straight stoppage losses.

Zhang Chenglong has lost five ONE Championship fights in a row. But he has been facing the very best fighters on the roster and has been the distance every time, with two of the losses coming by split decision so isn’t quite as bad as his recent record suggests.

Eko Roni Saputra vs. Danny Kingad (Flyweight)

Eko Roni Saputra (7-1) comes into this contest on a seven fight winning streak but none of those victories have come at the expense of ranked opponents. This clearly represents a step up for the Indonesian wrestler.

Danny Kingad (14-3) will know he has the edge over his opponent in a striking match. The Filipino will need to stuff his opponent’s takedowns and use his footwork to get in and out and do damage on the feet.

Submission grappling: Danielle Kelly vs. Ayaka Miura (Catchweight)

Danielle Kelly is a decorated BJJ black belt. She will attack relentlessly with submissions and is a massive favourite against an opponent who is known for MMA, not submission grappling.

Ayaka Miura is very dangerous with locks and has numerous finishes by way of americana. But the judoka looks to be outmatched here, even if she does have a slight size advantage to compensate.

Martin Nguyen vs. Shamil Gasanov (Featherweight)

Shamil Gasanov was originally scheduled to face Nguyen but withdrew just 10 days before the fight. Replacement Razhab Shaydullaev (6-0) has stopped every opponent he has ever faced.

Martin Nguyen (19-6) has accounted for some of ONE Championship’s biggest names with his overhand right. But the strategy has become less effective over the years and with three losses in his last four fights he clearly needs to find different ways to win.

Muay Thai: Tawanchai PKSaenchaigym (c) vs. Jamal Yusupov (for featherweight title)

Tawanchai PKSaenchaigym will be making the first defense of his featherweight Muay Thai title. He is a southpaw and is very dangerous with his left straight and left high kicks.

Jamal Yusupov’s main claim to fame is knocking out Yodsaenklai Fairtex. The Russian southpaw is coming off a win over Jo Nattawut bit the aforementioned fighters are past their prime whereas Tawanchai is at the peak of his powers.

John Lineker vs. Fabricio Andrade (For bantamweight title)

John Lineker well and truly earned the nickname “hands of stone.” He likes to sit down on his shots and puts real power into his punches but could not cope with Fabricio Andrade’s speed and accuracy last time out.

Fabricio Andrade would be the champion if he hadn’t landed that ill-advised low blow when Lineker was badly hurt. His straight knees are devastating and if this plays out anything like the first fight he should win inside the distance.

ONE Fight Night 6 is set for Bangkok this Saturday morning (local time). The fight card will be broadcast live by Amazon Prime on Friday evening in North America and is headlined by a kickboxing title fight.

The card consists mainly of Muay Thai, kickboxing and mixed rules bouts with MMA taking a bit of a backseat. Two of the top kickboxers on the planet face off in the main event and Superbon Singha Mawynn could arguably establish himself as the pound-for-pound king with a win over Chingiz Allazov.

Kim Jae Woong vs. Shoko Sato (Catchweight)

Kim Jae Woong (13-6) made quick work of Kevin Belingon in November. The Korean is extremely aggressive and hits hard, his four ONE Championship wins have all come inside the distance.

Shoko Sato (33-15-2) is highly experienced and has a karate style with a square stance. He is more of a threat on the ground but hasn’t been stopped since 2012 which is testament to his tenacity.

Muay Thai: Supergirl Jaroonsakgym vs. Ekaterina Vandaryeva (Strawweight)

Supergirl Jaroonsakgym likes to walk forward and throw long knees and is very strong in the clinch. She keeps her hands high and was able to absorb a lot of punches in the first fight.

Last time they fought Ekaterina Vandaryeva stayed extremely busy and was constantly circling away while landing punches in bunches. She was able to continuously disrupt Sueprgirl’s rhythm and forced the Thai fighter to defend instead of coming forward, that will surely be the gameplan again here.

Garry Tonon vs. Johnny Nuñez (Featherweight)

Garry Tonon is a decorated Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) black belt. He is particularly dangerous with heel hooks and if he gets an opponent down then, more often or not, he will finish them.

Johnny Nunez is making his featherweight debut at the age of 37 and is best known for being Miesha Tate’s husband. That said, he has fought for Bellator and WSOF and likes to switch stances and throw hard punches.

Aung La Nsang vs. Gilberto Galvão (Catchweight)

Aung La Nsang will clearly have an advantage if he can keep this one standing. He will not hesitate to stand and trade and has the tools to do it with good boxing and Muay Thai.

Gilberto Galvão is a BJJ black belt who should have a size advantage. He will need to put La Nsang on his back in order to make the most of it and the Brazilian’s ability to get this to the ground will probably determine the course of the fight.

Kickboxing: Rodtang Jitmuangnon vs. Jiduo Yibu (Flyweight)

Rodtang Jitmuangnon goes to war every time he fights and judging from some of the footage doing the rounds on social media, spars. He will walk forward and look to land punches and elbows without worrying too much about whether he absorbs any punishment on the way in.

Jiduo Yibu is a southpaw with a fast left kick. He will probably look to fight off the back foot here and is a couple of inches taller than Rodtang

Mixed rules: Stamp Fairtexvs. Anissa Meksen (Atomweight)

Stamp Fairtex won the atomweight Grand Prix last year and should have a huge advantage in the MMA rounds. The Muay Thai rounds could be more even but she has more experience in that sport too.

Anissa Meksen has never competed in MMA so we have no idea what her level is. She can probably match Stamp in Muay Thai, but can she knock her out in the opening round? That could be the French fighter’s only realistic path to victory.

Submission Grappling:Mikey Musumeci (c) vs. Bayanduuren Gantumur (for flyweight title)

Mikey Musumeci is arguably the most devastating submission artist on the roster. He is extremely aggressive with his submission attempts and can find finishes from unconventional angles and isn’t afraid to put himself in adverse positions in order to set them up.

Bayanduuren Gantumur is a mixed martial artist who was a blue belt in BJJ in 2019. But he’s also a Sambo world champion so this should be a clash of styles.

Kickboxing: Daniel Puertas vs. Superlek Kiatmoo9 (for flyweight title)

Daniel Puertas was originally set to face Rodtang Jitmuangnon but now finds himself up against Sueprlek Kiatmoo9. It might be a case of “out of the frying pan, into the fire” for the Spaniard who is nowhere near as experienced as his opponent.

Superlek Kietmoo9 was very unfortunate to come up short last time he fought for this title. The experienced Thai has won five in a row since then, beating the likes of Superbon Teeded99 and Panpayak Jitmuangnon.

Kickboxing: Superbon Singha Mawynn (c) vs. Chingiz Allazov (for featherweight title)

Superbon Singha Mawynn is best known as the man who knocked out Giorgio Petrosyan. He is on an incredible run of form and will look to use his body kicks and push kicks to control the distance and continually interrupt his opponent’s rhythm.

Chingiz Allazov also comes into this fight on a good run of form having won the featherweight kickboxing Grand Prix. He likes to get on the inside and throw multi punch combinations to the body and head.
