After a thrilling 2023, ONE Championship is ringing in the new year with an epic slate of blockbuster events, beginning with ONE Fight Night 18 on Prime Video. The event broadcasts live in U.S. primetime from the world-famous Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, January 12.
In the headline attraction, two featherweight MMA finishers collide in a pivotal bout that could further their ONE World Title aspirations. With a 100 percent finishing rate, #4-ranked contender Shamil Gasanov looks to hold down his spot in the rankings and get closer to the coveted ONE Featherweight MMA World Title.
But standing in his way is the dangerous knockout and submission specialist in Oh Ho Taek. The South Korean has seven finishes out of nine wins, and he’s looking to use Gasanov as a springboard into the featherweight rankings.
In addition, ONE Fight Night 18 features several of the world’s most exciting MMA stars, including #4-ranked bantamweight Kwon Won Il, #5-ranked bantamweight Artem Belakh, and Mongolian fan favorite Shinechagtga Zoltsetseg.
So mark your calendar, put a reminder in your phone, and make sure you don’t miss ONE Championship’s first U.S. primetime event of 2024!
