16 February 2023

Indian MMA fighter Zeba Bano is all set to fight Aleksandra Savicheva at ONE Friday Fights 5. The MMA fight will happen at strawweight and will happen on 17 February 2023 at the Lumpinee Stadium in Thailand.

Zeba comes into the fight on the back of a professional MMA record of 6-1 to her name. Training with Indian fighter Pankaj Khanna at Pro Combat Fight League, Zeba made her ONE Championship debut against Wondergirl Fairtex. The Indian, however, suffered a submission loss in the debut fight.
