ONE will be heading to Bangkok, Thailand and the Impact Arena for the first time on May 27.

In the main event, strawweight champion Dejdamrong Sor Amnuaysirichoke puts his title and unbeaten record on the line vs. fellow undefeated fighter Yoshitaka Naito. Featherweight champion Marat Gafurov, also holding a spotless professional mark, defends vs. Kazunori Yokota.

“This is monumental progress for the sport of mixed martial arts in the world and in Thailand, and also one giant step forward for ONE Championship as we bring martial arts back home to the ancient city of Bangkok,” ONE Championship Thailand President Kamol ‘Sukie’ Sukosol Clapp said. “There is nothing like the atmosphere of a live ONE Championship event, and we want to show fans exactly what is in store. With the country’s top rock bands electrifying the stadium, ONE: Kingdom of Champions is poised for an incredible evening of adrenaline-pumping action.”

Other planned bouts include Timofey Nastyukhin vs. Rob Lisita, Leandro Ataides vs. Marcin Brachnio, Anatpong Bunrad vs. Eugene Toquero and Yodsanan Sityodtong vs. Chrech Kosal.
