Full Card Confirmed For ONE Fight Night 24 With Addition Of 4 Muay Thai Matchups

Ferrari Fairtex defeats Antar Kacem ONE Friday Fights 47 11

ONE Fight Night 24: Brooks vs. Balart on Prime Video is just around the corner, and the card just got an upgrade with the addition of four explosive Muay Thai matchups.

Topped by a can’t-miss MMA World Title fight, the event is slated for U.S. primetime on Friday, August 2, live from the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok.

The Muay Thai-loving crowd in Thailand is in for a treat with the new matchups.

First, 21-year-old knockout artist Aliff Sor Dechapan will take on all-action Moroccan scrapper Zakaria El Jamari in a 128-pound catchweight tilt.

Aliff kicked off his ONE tenure with four sensational victories but has stumbled in his two U.S. primetime appearances. With his back against the wall, he’ll be aiming to make a statement against El Jamari.

The 34-year-old, though, will enter this battle following the biggest victory of his career – a hard-fought decision win over Thai fan favorite Thongpoon PK Saenchai back in May.

El Jamari now hopes to make it two in a row and assert himself as a contender to be watched.

In bantamweight action, master technician Ferrari Fairtex will look to extend his four-fight winning streak when he squares off with Russian newcomer Dmitrii “The Silent Assassin” Kovtun.

With his dynamic kicking game and countless accomplishments outside of ONE, Ferrari has all the makings of a future World Champion in the organization.

Standing in his way is the hard-hitting Kovtun, who knows he could make waves on the global stage if he’s able to derail his foe’s hype train.

Next, two of Thailand’s finest will run it back in a pivotal flyweight clash, as Dedduanglek TDed99 collides with Nakrob Fairtex for the second time in ONE.

The pair first met last November in the main event of ONE Friday Fights 41. That night, Nakrob scored a stunning third-round knockout with a vicious body shot, handing the TDed99 representative the first and only defeat of his ONE career.

Both men are undefeated since then, and with Dedduanglek sitting at #4 in the talent-stacked flyweight Muay Thai rankings, this contest carries big implications for the World Title race.

Finally, towering 20-year-old sensation Nabil Anane returns against former two-time ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title challenger Felipe “Demolition Man” Lobo.

After dropping his promotional debut against ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Champion Superlek Kiatmoo9, Anane has tallied three straight wins – including two highlight-reel knockouts – to back up the massive hype surrounding him.

He’s in for a stiff test against #3-ranked bantamweight Muay Thai contender Lobo.

An ultra-aggressive and explosive striker, the Brazilian pushed reigning titleholder Jonathan Haggerty to the absolute limit in his most recent appearance. He’ll be motivated to defend his spot in the rankings and re-assert himself as the division’s most dangerous contender.
