Anticipation continues to build for ONE Fight Night 21 on Prime Video this April 5th, with two interesting matchups added to the lineup.
This US prime-time event will be held at the legendary Lumphini Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. There, two world title contests are in the spotlight.
The headliner spotlights the return of Regian Eersel. “The Immortal” will defend his ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Championship against undefeated challenger Alexis “Barboza” Nicolas.
Meanwhile, Ty Ruotolo is set to defend his ONE Welterweight Submission Grappling World Title against Isaac Michel in the co-main event.
To warm up fans for these epic matchups, the promotion is beefing up its supporting card with MMA and Muay Thai matches.
Hiroyuki Tezuka takes on Valmir da Silva in a welterweight mixed martial arts match. Meanwhile, Jacob Smith will take on Dennis Pulic in a featherweight Muay Thai bout.
Tezuka's recent achievements in the world's largest martial arts organization are nothing short of spectacular. He's currently on a strong streak with four straight wins, and all of his wins have come by way of finishing.
“The Japanese Beast” is steadily building up his strength as he prepares to challenge for the ONE Welterweight MMA World Title, currently held by two-division champion Christian Lee.
Da Silva, on the other hand, has experienced stiff competition in two of his last three matches. Nevertheless, the Brazilian stalwart is undaunted in his quest for redemption.
In his next mission, he aims to undermine Tezuka's momentum and stake his position as a true force to be reckoned with in the division.
