5 Reasons To Watch ONE Fight Night 32 On June 6
This Friday in U.S. primetime, the world’s largest martial arts organization will return to the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, for an explosive fight card packed with high-stakes bouts.
ONE Fight Night 32: Nakrob vs. Jaosuayai on Prime Video was designed with action in mind, featuring a loaded lineup of thrilling Muay Thai battles, top MMA talents looking to make statements, and pivotal clashes that carry World Title implications.
In short, this event has the makings of a memorable showcase. These are five of the biggest reasons why fans won’t want to miss a moment of ONE Fight Night 32.
#1 Fireworks In The Main Event
The headlining flyweight Muay Thai tilt between Nakrob Fairtex and Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi represents everything fans have come to love about ONE’s small-gloved Muay Thai.
Both athletes are contract winners from the ONE Friday Fights event series, each earning their place on the global roster through electrifying performances that garnered them legions of new fans.
For his part, #5-ranked Nakrob has lost just twice across 12 appearances in ONE. His relentless pressure and show-stopping power will be tested against an equally dangerous striker in Jaosuayai, who brings youth, savage finishing abilities, and unbreakable confidence into this contest.
Given each fighter’s willingness to engage in a brawl and the immense knockout power on both sides, fans should buckle up for a true barnburner.
#2 The Johans Return
Two of the planet’s most exciting young strikers return to action as Johan “Panda Kick” Estupinan and Johan “Jojo” Ghazali aim to continue their respective climbs toward the flyweight Muay Thai upper echelon.
Boasting an unblemished 27-0 professional record and one of the most entertaining styles ever seen in ONE, Colombian phenom Estupinan will face his toughest test yet against long-tenured ONE star Taiki “Silent Sniper” Naito. A victory over the crafty Japanese veteran would show that “Panda Kick” is ready for a top-five opponent in the talent-laden division.
Meanwhile, Ghazali hopes to bounce back from a hard-fought decision loss to Estupinan when he takes on Colombian-American standout Diego Paez.
Still just 18 years old and now honing his skills at the renowned Superbon Training Camp in Thailand, “Jojo” promises to showcase upgraded technique while maintaining his trademark forward-marching, pressure-filled approach that’s made him one of the sport’s most talked-about rising stars.
#3 Muay Thai Contenders Aim For World Title Shots
The main event promises fireworks – but it could also put the winner in the conversation for the vacant ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title.
Both Nakrob and Jaosuayai have positioned themselves close to a coveted crack at 26 pounds of gold, and they are both motivated to earn a career-defining opportunity in the near future.
Plus, strawweight Muay Thai stars Aliff Sor Dechapan and Elmehdi “The Sniper” El Jamari will throw down with a potential shot at reigning divisional kingpin Prajanchai PK Saenchai on the line.
The 21-year-old Aliff has employed his dynamic and unpredictable style of striking to amass an impressive three-fight winning streak that includes a knockout of El Jamari’s older brother, Zakaria El Jamari.
And following his spectacular KO of Thongpoon PK Saenchai in his ONE debut, “The Sniper” believes a second straight win would stake his claim for a World Title opportunity.
#4 El Jamari Has Vengeance On His Mind
The hard-hitting El Jamari has made it no secret that he’s supremely motivated to avenge his brother’s defeat to Aliff.
After carefully analyzing his sibling’s fight with the Thai-Malaysian destroyer, he’s confident that he has the perfect game plan to neutralize his foe’s dangerous long-range striking – and has promised to finish Aliff in devastating fashion.
The added emotional investment creates another layer of excitement for a bout that was already shaping up to be a firefight, and fans can expect to see El Jamari fight to the bitter end in an effort to defend his family’s honor.
#5 U.S. Primetime Debuts For Rising Stars
A number of the martial arts world’s hottest rising talents will be making their U.S. primetime debuts at ONE Fight Night 32, giving American fans a chance to witness these future superstars in action.
First, Chinese striker Liao Shixu will look to make an immediate impact on the global stage when he battles veteran Russian scrapper “Samingpri” Tagir Khalilov in a 140-pound Muay Thai fight that promises white-knuckle action.
After that, undefeated MMA phenom Dzhabir Dzhabrailov aims to build on his two lightning-fast finishes at ONE Friday Fights when he takes on Argentina’s Nicolas “El Paisa” Vigna. The 20-year-old Turkish destroyer has looked nothing short of sensational in his professional career, and he seems to have all the makings of a future superstar.
In featherweight Muay Thai action, the dangerously talented Ricardo Bravo will square off with U.S. striker Arian Esparza. Bravo rattled off a trio of knockouts at ONE Friday Fights to secure his spot on the global roster and cement himself as one of Muay Thai’s most terrifying talents.
Finally, fans won’t want to miss the ONE debut of undefeated Russian finisher Magomed Akaev when he locks horns with compatriot Ibragim Dauev in a featherweight MMA contest.
A devastating striker with dangerous grappling skills to match, Akaev could quickly assert himself as a World Title threat at ONE Fight Night 32.
