3 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Miss ONE Fight Night 15

The legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok will soon play host to another ONE Championship fight card packed with intriguing matchups designed to produce fireworks.

Topped by a pair of high-stakes World Title showdowns, ONE Fight Night 15: Le vs. Freymanov on Prime Video offers something for every fan of top-tier martial arts. Before the action gets underway live in U.S. primetime this Friday, October 6, we dive into three reasons why this is a must-see event.

1. Two world title fights featuring skilled strikers

Elite stand-up fighting will be on full display in the evening’s headlining attractions. First, in the co-main event, undefeated ONE Strawweight Kickboxing World Champion Jonathan Di Bella will put his gold on the line against Thai Australian fan favorite ‘Mini T’ Danial Williams. The titleholder is a supreme technician known for keeping a furious pace, but Williams brings a level of grit and thunderous power that Di Bella likely hasn’t yet seen in his career.

And in the main event, former World Champion Thanh Le and Dagestani phenom Ilya Freymanov will throw down for the ONE Interim Featherweight MMA World Title. With current titleholder Tang Kai on the sideline due to injury, fans are in for a treat between two of the sport’s most prolific finishers. Le has never once seen the scorecards across his 13 career victories, and he’d love to add to his highlight reel and earn another crack at the undisputed belt he once held. But first, he’ll have to get through the surging Freymanov, who has earned 10 of his 12 wins inside the distance.

2. Tawanchai and Mikey Musumeci step out of their comfort zones

The card will also see two of the organization’s top superstars test themselves in unique ways. Current ONE Featherweight Muay Thai World Champion Tawanchai PK Saenchai returns to the world of kickboxing and continues his quest to become a two-sport ONE World Champion as he takes on the dangerous knockout artist ‘Smokin’ Jo Nattawut.

Also, reigning ONE Flyweight Submission Grappling World Champion Mikey Musumeci will give up over 30 pounds in weight to test his incredible jiu-jitsu against former lightweight MMA king Shinya Aoki in an openweight submission grappling clash that has jiu-jitsu fans salivating.

3. Strawweight MMA Division Could Be Shaken Up

ONE Fight Night 15 could produce the next challenger for ONE Strawweight MMA World Champion Jarred “The Monkey God” Brooks. Undefeated Russian standout Mansur Malachiev – one of the most exciting rising stars in the sport – hopes to build on his spectacular promotional debut in June and continue his climb toward gold.

But standing in his way will be Joshua “The Passion” Pacio. The Filipino held the division’s prize for an incredible four years, and he’s now determined to earn another crack at Brooks. With each man fighting with big goals on the line and something to prove, fans won’t want to miss this pivotal battle.
