The final stretch of 2026 has arrived, and the world’s greatest martial arts superstars have another big opportunity to make a resounding statement before the year comes to a close.

That opportunity comes on Friday, October 2, when ONE Fight Night 48: Erdogan vs. Elliott broadcasts live in U.S. primetime from the world-famous Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

In the main event, a pair of behemoths with strong finishing instincts will stand toe-to-toe in the ring and throw down for a chance to earn a shot at the vacant ONE Heavyweight MMA World Title.

Shamil Erdogan has been completely unstoppable in his career. The undefeated Dagestani wrecking ball possesses a frightening blend of elite grappling and devastating knockout power in every limb, and every opponent who has stepped into the ring with him has left a beaten man.

But Paul Elliott is fearless, and he is as dangerous as they come. The British titan carries extraordinary power in his hands, having earned every victory in his career via knockout. Elliott also has a tendency to finish opponents quickly, and he recently tied ONE Championship’s record for the fastest KO in history with a jaw-dropping six-second stoppage. Now, he is hunting the biggest name he has ever faced.

Before that, fans will be treated to an all-action battle between American star Luke Lessei and British sensation Charlie Guest, as both men look to stake their claim for a shot at Nico Carrillo’s ONE Featherweight Muay Thai World Title.

More bouts will be announced in the weeks to come. So, mark your calendar, put a reminder in your phone, buy your tickets, and find out how you can watch ONE Fight Night 48: Erdogan vs. Elliott live on October 2 in more than 195 countries around the globe!
