ONE Fight Night 25 will help kick off the fall season with two World Championship matchups on Friday, October 4.
In the main event, ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Champion Alexis Nicolas will run it back with Regian Eersel as “The Immortal” seeks to reclaim the throne.
Nicolas stunned Eersel in a five-round thriller by unanimous decision in April 2024 at ONE Fight Night 21. After a long reign, someone finally bested the Surinamese striker on the global stage. However, his nearly 8-year-long unbeaten streak has allowed him an immediate rematch.
Eersel still holds the ONE Lightweight Muay Thai World Title. Reclaiming the kickboxing crown will keep him in the discussion for the pound-for-pound best conversation; one Nicolas hopes to dash by affirming his dominance in Bangkok.
Atomweight gold will be on the line in the co-main event.
With Stamp Fairtex on the sideline recovering from a torn meniscus, the division will roll on with Denice Zamboanga and Alyona Rassohyna vying for the ONE Interim Atomweight MMA World Title.
Zamboanga has proven to be the division’s top contender. Although her meeting with Stamp had to be postponed when the injury occurred, she still competed at ONE 167 with a dominant decision win over Noelle Grandjean.
Now the Filipina hopes to bring gold back home and secure her match against the three-sport World Champion.
But Rassohyna wants a future date with Stamp as well. The Ukrainian holds a win over Stamp in 2021 with a last-second guillotine choke. Stamp would even the score by split decision seven months later.
But their story is still unfinished, and Rassohyna holds the more decisive result between the two. Defeating Zamboanga is her ticket to an undisputed title shot in a huge trilogy contest.
ONE Fight Night 25 airs live and free on Prime Video at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT for all Amazon Prime subscribers based in the U.S. and Canada.
