3 Must-Watch Fights You Can’t Miss at ONE Fight Night 19

ONE Championship is gearing up for another action-packed event filled with important bouts that could shake divisional rankings this weekend. However, there are also a few that could steal the show.

This Friday, February 16, the world’s largest martial arts organization returns with ONE Fight Night 19: Haggerty vs. Lobo inside the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. 

Bantamweight Muay Thai is set to feature at the top, with Jonathan Haggerty defending the divisional crown against Felipe Lobo in the main event and a grudge match between Saemapetch Fairtex and Mohamed Younes Rabah going down in the co-main. 

Many intriguing battles will take place elsewhere on the card, though, and here’s a list of the ones that shouldn’t be missed.

Lito Adiwang vs. Danial Williams – Strawweight MMA

The strawweight MMA division has been busy lately, and two formerly ranked fighters will look to capitalize on that activity at ONE Fight Night 19.

Filipino star Lito Adiwang is set to meet multi-sport brawler Danial Williams in what promises to be an explosive firefight, given both competitors’ track records. 

With four thrilling finishes to his name in ONE, Adiwang has proven to be one of the most exciting fighters to watch in any weight class. 

Meanwhile, Williams has pushed some of the best strikers in the world to their limits and always put on a show whenever he’s in action. 

This one has the potential for a thrilling knockout written all over it. So, don’t blink when it kicks off.

Liam Nolan vs Nauzet Trujillo – Lightweight Muay Thai

The lightweight Muay Thai division is filled with dangerous contenders, but it has been dominated so far by two-sport World Champion Regian Eersel. 

That said, Liam Nolan has shown that he has the tools to be a threat to “The Immortal’s” reign, having won four of his last five bouts, and he looked phenomenal in his last two appearances. 

Picking up an impressive win against Nauzet Trujillo this weekend could help him put one foot in the door for a World Title opportunity.

Trujillo is no pushover, though. The Spaniard made his promotional bow at ONE Fight Night 13 back in August and gave Rungrawee Sitsonpeenong all that he could handle despite a short-notice call-up.

Now, with a complete fight camp and a burning desire to prove he belongs among the planet’s elite strikers, he’ll be itching to seize his opportunity and stop Nolan’s momentum. 

Both men will do whatever they have to get the win, meaning a barnburner is almost guaranteed to go down.

Wondergirl vs. Martyna Kierczynska – Strawweight Muay Thai

Originally slated to compete in a strawweight mixed-rules bout, Nat “Wondergirl” Jaroonsak had to pivot to Muay Thai after her original opponent, Dayane Cardoso, is out due to undisclosed reasons.

She now goes back to her roots to face Polish striker Martyna Kierczynska, who, at 21 years old, is already an accomplished fighter. She has won numerous Muay Thai tournaments, including the WMC Pro World Championships, the World Combat Games, and the European Games, and now she’s ready to make her ONE debut. 

Her first opponent may be one of the toughest on offer, however. Wondergirl has won two of her three Muay Thai fights in the promotion so far, with both wins coming by knockout.
