carinhopg 3 Fights That Could Steal The Show At ONE Friday Fights 100 On March 14
ONE Championship ONE Championship On March 14, ONE Championship will return to Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium for a landmark installment of the ONE Friday Fights event series at the iconic venue.
Set to air live in Asia primetime, ONE Friday Fights 100 looks to be an instant classic, loaded top to bottom with explosive fights designed for action.
While there’s certainly no shortage of compelling matchups on the card, some fights stand out above the rest as guaranteed barnburners.
With that said, these are three fights that could steal the show at ONE Friday Fights 100.
#1 Xiong Jin Nan Vs. Meng BoIn atomweight MMA action, longtime ONE Women’s Strawweight MMA World Champion “The Panda” Xiong Jing Nan will drop down in weight to battle #4-ranked atomweight MMA contender Meng Bo in a China-versus-China clash that fans have wanted to see for years.
As China’s first-ever MMA World Champion, Xiong has employed her explosive high-volume boxing game to dominate the women’s strawweight MMA division since winning the inaugural crown back in 2018.
The 28-year-old Meng, meanwhile, has used a similar boxing-heavy style to earn her spot in the atomweight MMA division’s top-five. Along the way, she’s gained legions of fans thanks to her incredible punching power that’s led to a trio of highlight-reel finishes in ONE.
Considering each woman’s propensity to trade leather, this high-stakes clash is sure to produce plenty of frantic action.
#2. Sinsamut Vs. Nieky Holzken IIDecorated Dutch legend Nieky “The Natural” Holzken will be looking to exact revenge when he squares off with Thai knockout artist Sinsamut “Aquaman” Klinmee in a 175-pound kickboxing bout.
When the pair first met in a Muay Thai fight back in 2022, Holzken was riding an impressive two-fight winning streak and appeared well on his way to earning another ONE World Title shot. On the other side, Sinsamut was a highly touted rising star but was making his promotional debut.
The Thai would shock the world on that occasion, scoring one of the most stunning knockouts in recent memory to turn himself into an overnight superstar.
However, Leandro Trossard's first-half red card – the result of the Belgian kicking the ball away when already on a booking – allowed City to dominate the second period and John Stones broke Arsenal hearts with a 98th-minute equaliser.
“The Natural” and “Aquaman” will now run it back – this time in the bigger gloves of kickboxing – and fans should buckle up for a firefight.
#3 Jaosuayai Vs. Denis PuricThe flyweight Muay Thai tilt between Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi and Denis “The Bosnian Menace” Puric pits two of the striking world’s most electrifying brawlers against each other.
Still just 23 years old and a veteran of eight thrilling battles in ONE, Jaosuayai has no idea what it’s like to be in a boring fight.
The Thai will put his forward-marching, heavy-handed style to the test against a similar adversary in Puric.
The 39-year-old “Bosnian Menace” is beloved for his fearless approach and willingness to engage in wild slugfests, with fans still remembering his epic three-round war against Thai megastar Rodtang “The Iron Man” Jitmuangnon.
Given each striker’s reputation for all-out firefights, this bout promises nothing but entertainment.
