Superlek Kiatmoo9 and Elias Mahmoudi Set to Headline ONE Championship's Thrilling ONE Fight Night 18


Headlining the much-anticipated ONE Fight Night 18 on Prime Video is a thrilling clash between two titans, Superlek Kiatmoo9 and Elias Mahmoudi, set to take place at the historic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on January 12. ONE Championship, a global powerhouse in martial arts, is gearing up for its first U.S. primetime show of 2024 with this epic showdown for the ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Title.

Superlek, known as "The Kicking Machine," boasts an impressive record of 12-1 in the promotion. His journey includes a hard-fought defeat against Ilias Ennahachi in 2021, the only blemish on an otherwise stellar record. Undeterred, Superlek rebounded with a remarkable 10-fight winning streak, claiming and defending the coveted ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Title.

Not limited to kickboxing, Superlek secured the #1 contender's spot in Muay Thai, showcasing his versatile skills in the ring. His recent bout in 2023 against Rodtang Jitmuangnon was a contender for Fight of the Year, resulting in a close unanimous decision win. Despite missing weight, Superlek aims to return to the ring to defend his title for the second time.

Challenging Superlek's dominance is Elias Mahmoudi, a French-Algerian striker on a redemption quest since narrowly losing a technical decision to Petchdam Petchyindee in 2019 for the ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Title. Mahmoudi's relentless pursuit of glory has led him to this moment, as he prepares to face Superlek at ONE Fight Night 18. The stage is set for an electrifying showdown as these two warriors vie for supremacy in the ONE Championship arena.
