ONE Championship’s fourth event on Prime Video, ONE on Prime Video 4, is just around the corner. The stacked bill, which gets underway this Friday, November 18, will see plenty of young, experienced, and talented contenders battle their way to the top of their respective divisions.

Ahead of what looks set to be another night of highly entertaining action. Let’s take a look at the three fighters who stand to gain the most when the card kicks off inside the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

 #1 Joseph Lasiri

Joseph ‘The Hurricane’ Lasiri hopes to continue his fairytale run by doing what no athlete has ever done in Muay Thai at ONE Championship; defeat Rodtang ‘The Iron Man’ Jitmuangnon.

The Italian-Moroccan striker defeated the seemingly unstoppable Prajanchai PK.Saenchai to become the ONE Strawweight Muay Thai World Champion in May. If he outclasses Rodtang on November 18, he will return to Milan, Italy, with the flyweight gold too.

‘The Hurricane’ has to be precise across all fractions of his game if he wants to stand any chance of taking out a man who’s on a 10-fight win streak in ONE.

After all, he has plenty of weapons in the clinch, knees, kicks, and long accurate punches and jabs that could put opponents to sleep. All these could trouble Rodtang when they lock horns in the night’s co-main event.

#2 Christian Lee

Like Lasiri, the stakes couldn’t be any higher for Christian ‘The Warrior’ Lee.

The Evolve MMA and United MMA prospect moves up a division, attempting to close out his 2022 with the ONE Welterweight World Title and the ONE Lightweight World Title.

Lee looked at his absolute best against Ok Rae Yoon. Finishing the South Korean with a barrage of strikes to claim the lightweight crown at ONE 160 in August.

This Friday, however, the young lion will be up against a far sterner test in the form of Kiamrian ‘Brazen’ Abbasov.

The welterweight kingpin is riding a five-fight winning streak in the division. And he’s looking to bounce back from a failed attempt to capture the middleweight title from Renier ‘The Dutch Knight’ de Ridder.

But if Lee can find his form to excel against Abbasov, there’s little doubt why he can leave the venue with two World Titles on his shoulders.

#3 Stephen Loman

The ONE Bantamweight World Title remains vacant following the drama that ensued between Fabricio ‘Wonder Boy’ Andrade and John ‘Hands of Stone’ Lineker at ONE on Prime Video 3.

And that has given Loman a perfect chance to enter the World Title conversation. Although that would be possible only if the Team Lakay warrior can overcome former divisional king Bibiano ‘The Flash’ Fernandes at ONE on Prime Video 4.

Loman enters this battle on a run of two impressive displays inside the Circle. In his debut, the 27-year-old knocked out Yusup ‘Maestro’ Saadulaev in the opening round. He followed that victory with another dominant display against Shoko Sato earlier this year.

Fernandes will prove to be a step up in competition. The Brazilian has reigned over the division on a couple of spells. He further remains one of the most technical athletes on the ONE roster.
