More firepower has been added to the ONE Fight Night 31 lineup for Saturday, May 3, inside Lumpinee Stadium. ONE Championship is bringing heavy hitters to delight fans with key bouts in MMA and Muay Thai.
Early in the proceedings in Bangkok, Thailand, bantamweight bruisers Saemapetch Fairtex and Abdulla Dayakaev will sling leather toward each other's chins.
The former ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title challenger in Saemapetch is looking to get back in the win column after tough outings against the division's elite. He will try to prove he is still capable of battling for gold.
However, Dayakaev is attempting to start an official win streak with his third consecutive victory.
The Russian athlete secured back-to-back knockouts on ONE Friday Fights against Sibmuen and Alessia Malatesta. After showing his might, he now draws a longtime contender and serious threat for his biggest opportunity thus far.
In welterweight MMA action, two stars on the precipice of title contention get a shot to stake their claim as a top contender.
Former ONE Welterweight MMA World Champion Zebaztian Kadestam returns for the first time since his thrilling knockout over Roberto Soldic at ONE Fight Night 10. One more victory could lead him back to the gold he once wore.
However, Australian-Tongan phenom Isi Fitikefu is more than capable of stealing his shine and waltzing right into that same title opportunity. After derailing Hiroyuki Tetsuka, "Doxz" is hoping to defy the odds one more time in Bangkok.
Both men are promising a high-octane affair, and given each of their recent performances, that likely means the judges can take a well-deserved break once the bell rings.
Lumpinee Stadium will see fast and furious action as ONE returns with a fast-paced card full of the world's greatest martial arts athletes.
ONE Fight Night 31 will be broadcast live on JioHotstar and Star Sports Select 2 at 5:30 a.m. India Standard Time (IST) on Saturday, May 3.
