The World Champions Of ONE: CLASH OF LEGENDS

IMG_8430

ONE: CLASH OF LEGENDS brings 24 world-class martial artists to the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand on Saturday, 16 February.

The ONE Super Series portion of the card will host the highest density of striking World Champions possible, as every competitor has tasted success at the top level of their sport.

The mixed martial arts bouts are just as exciting, and add even more high-end accolades to a stacked bill that is topped by the inaugural ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title bout between Nong-O Gaiyanghadao and Han Zi Hao.

These are the 11 World Champions gracing the stage in Bangkok.

Nong-O Gaiyanghadao

Main event star Nong-O Gaiyanghadao (257-54-1) holds a plethora of titles in Muay Thai, including the revered Lumpinee and Rajadamnern Stadium Muay Thai World Titles.

The Evolve representative held Lumpinee belts in four weight divisions, making him one of the most successful champions in the stadium’s history.

He will look to add the most illustrious accolade of his career to his collection when he meets Han Zi Hao for the inaugural ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title on home soil.

Han Zi Hao

Han has established himself as China’s finest striking export, with three straights win in the world’s largest martial arts organization to take his record to 60-15.

He entered the promotion as a Top King Muay Thai World Champion, and now he has the chance to compete for a ONE World Title.

It won’t be an easy task against Nong-O, but the Mad Muay Thai Gym athlete believes he has the power to upset his idol.

Kongsak P.K.Saenchaimuaythaigym

Kongsak “Left Savage” P.K.Saenchaimuaythaigym  makes his promotional debut as part of the most elite lineup of strikers in ONE history.

“Left Savage” is a two-division Lumpinee Stadium Muay Thai World Champion and a WMC World Champion. Hailing from the famous Buriram region of Thailand, he joins a list of legendary warriors from that province, which is renowned for producing top combatants.

When he takes on Alaverdi Ramazanov in the co-main event this Saturday, he will be aiming for the 183rd win of his career.

Alaverdi Ramazanov

Alaverdi “Babyface Killer” Ramazanov (59-4) showcased his class against elite opposition when he defeated Petchmorrakot Petchyindee Academy in his ONE debut.

The Venum Training Camp athlete added to his tally with a sensational first-round knockout of Andrew “Maddog Fairtex” Miller, which strengthened his reputation as a top-class competitor.

Ramazanov is a three-time winner of the IFMA World Championships, and he is hoping for another huge scalp in Kongsak, as he tussles for a future shot at the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title.

Jo Nattawut

“Smokin” Jo Nattawut is from Thailand but, unlike many of his compatriots on the card in Bangkok, he made his name in the USA.

Nattawut fell out of love with martial arts in his homeland, but it was rejuvenated when he moved to North America. “Smokin” Jo showed what his native land was missing when he became a two-division Lion Fight World Champion, before returning to compete in The Land Of Smiles under the ONE banner.

He will take on France’s Samy Sana on the main card, and a win will be his 69th as a professional.

Samy Sana

Samy “AK47” Sana is a native of Paris, France, but trains in Thailand at the renowned Venum Training Camp.

Sana is one of the top European athletes competing in The Home Of Martial Arts, with a 133-8-1 record to match many of the best Thai martial artists, and a haul of honors including the ISKA, WBC and A1 World Title gold.

He has a tough test ahead in Jo Nattawut this weekend.

Superlek Kiatmoo9

Another high-level nak muay from the Buriram province, Superlek Kiatmoo9 enters ONE as an extremely decorated competitor.

As well as a 120-28-2 professional slate, he has two Lumpinee Stadium Muay Thai World Titles to his credit, and in 2016 he added the WBC World Title to his extensive list of accomplishments.

He will make his promotional debut against fellow first-timer Lao Chetra.

Chamuaktong Fightermuaythai

Chamuaktong Fightermuaythai (145-34-1) is one of the few athletes that has managed to pick up World Titles in the two most illustrious stadiums in Thailand.

The P.K.Saenchaimuaythaigym man is a Lumpinee and Rajadamnern Stadium Muay Thai World Champion, as well as the WMC World Champion.

The 30-year-old already has a victory in ONE Super Series, and he hopes to make it two against Englishman Charlie Peters.

Charlie Peters

Charlie “Boy” Peters is ready to take Asia by storm as he prepares to face Chamuaktong Fightermuaythai in front of the Thai’s hometown crowd.

England’s Peters has three Muay Thai World Championships, including the Muay Thai Grand Prix World Title.

He is on the hunt for a fourth, and his 50th win as a professional, when he meets Chamuaktong at ONE: CLASH OF LEGENDS.

Jihin Radzuan

Away from the art of eight limbs, Jihin “Shadow Cat” Radzuan was phenomenal in ONE Championship in 2018.

She pushed her unbeaten mixed martial arts record to 4-0 with three victories inside the world’s largest martial arts organization. She may be on her way towards a World Championship, which would add to the wushu World Title she won before her time in the cage.

The well-rounded competitor will take on Gina Iniong in an eagerly anticipated women’s atomweight clash at the Impact Arena.

Nou Srey Pov

Rika Ishige Nou Srey Pov AAA_4827.jpg

Cambodia’s Nou Srey Pov has a tough test ahead of her as she makes her start on the global stage for martial arts, but do not think she lacks seasoning at the top level.

When she faces Rika “Tiny Doll” Ishige in an atomweight mixed martial arts bout, she will bring experience from more than 100 Kun Khmer contests into the battle with her, as well as a Kun Khmer World Title.
