Seksan To Make ONE Championship Main Roster Debut At ONE Fight Night 16

Since arriving in ONE Championship’s Friday Fights series in January, Seksan Or Kwanmuang has delivered some of the most high-octane performances seen in the promotion this year. After six highlight-reel victories inside Bangkok, Thailand’s iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, “The Man Who Yields To No One” will make his main roster debut.

It’ll be in a 140-pound catchweight Muay Thai clash with Johan Estupinan at ONE Fight Night 16: Haggerty vs. Andrade on Saturday, 4th November. Here’s everything you need to know about the fighter’s upcoming matchup.

Seksan Or Kwanmuang knows how to make a mark

Seksan made his name in ONE thanks to his impenetrable striking and memorable battles against striking stars like Tyson Harrison, Nathan Bendon, and Sean Clancy. His two incredible finishes and four performance bonuses were enough to earn him a six-figure contract with the world’s largest martial arts organization.

This was at ONE Friday Fights last month. The former WBC Muay Thai and Rajadamnern Stadium World Champion’s will arrive at ONE’s biggest stage next month. It will give him the perfect opportunity to capture the imagination of a brand-new fanbase in North America.

But his upcoming opponent will be looking to sweep the red carpet from under him. Estupinan will be making his promotional debut on 4th November. His fighting style should complement Seksan’s perfectly, ensuring their meeting will be nothing short of fireworks.

The 21-year-old Colombian will make a genuine name for himself in ONE if he can upset the applecart against “The Man Who Yields To No One,” so fans should be on the lookout for a fast finish when their meeting gets underway. However, will it be easy for either fighters?

The records between the two fighters

Seksan himself has won six fights with ONE Championship. Most of the wins came via decisions. However, it’s important to note that he’s not dropped a single battle. So far, a spotless record is something that he’d like to maintain going forward.

On the other hand, his upcoming opponent holds a professional MMA record of one win and one loss. So on paper, Seksan has a lot of edge against Estupinan. However, will it also be on the show when the two are trying to fight each other? As of right now, it’s difficult to tell who can emerge victorious but odds look like they lay in Seksan’s court. Will he win his next fight with ONE? If he does, he’ll be able to maintain his record and take it further. However, will Estupinan be the first to cast a shadow on his perfect record? Only time will tell.
