ONE Championship is set to electrify the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, January 24, with the highly anticipated ONE 170: Tawanchai vs. Superbon II event. While the spotlight will shine on three World Championship bouts, the stacked card offers much more, including thrilling matchups featuring young stars, seasoned contenders, and dynamic athletes. Here are three must-watch fights that promise to steal the show.
Seksan Or Kwanmuang vs. Soe Lin Oo (142-Pound Catchweight Muay Thai)
Seksan Or Kwanmuang, a Thai Muay Thai legend, has established himself as one of ONE Championship’s most exciting fighters, boasting eight straight wins before a setback against Yutaro Asahi. Seksan rebounded spectacularly at ONE 168, securing a second-round TKO over Liam Harrison.
His opponent, Soe Lin Oo of Myanmar, has earned a reputation for his relentless aggression. Nicknamed “Man of Steel,” Soe Lin Oo is coming off a competitive decision loss at ONE Friday Fights 81 but has proven his knockout power in previous victories. When these two warriors meet, expect fireworks in a bout that could be a fight-of-the-night contender.
Jo Nattawut vs. Bampara Kouyate (Featherweight Muay Thai)
Ranked #2 in the featherweight Muay Thai division, Jo Nattawut has been on the cusp of championship glory, with hard-fought battles against Tawanchai PK Saenchai and Superbon. However, back-to-back losses have placed him in a must-win situation against #4-ranked Bampara Kouyate.
Kouyate, fresh off a thrilling finish over Luke Lessei at ONE Fight Night 23, is riding high and eager to upset the rankings. A win over Nattawut would solidify his status as a top contender, while Nattawut looks to reignite his championship ambitions. This clash of styles and stakes makes it a can’t-miss fight.
Johan Ghazali vs. Johan Estupinan (Flyweight Muay Thai)
Early in the night, two rising flyweight stars will collide in a bout brimming with potential. Malaysia’s 18-year-old sensation Johan Ghazali aims to build momentum after rebounding from his first career loss with a win at ONE 168.
His opponent, 22-year-old Colombian Johan Estupinan, is an explosive fighter with an unbeaten run in ONE Championship. Known for his hard-hitting style, Estupinan will face his toughest test yet in Ghazali. This bout promises a fast-paced, action-packed display of skill and determination.
