ONE: IMMORTAL TRIUMPH, set for Ho Chi Minh City’s Phu Tho Indoor Stadium on Friday, 6 September, features 28 of the most fearsome strikers from around the world – all hoping to make a name for themselves on the global stage of martial arts.
Knockouts and fast-paced action are guaranteed in this first-ever all-ONE Super Series spectacle, and here are three reasons why Malaysians cannot miss this spectacular showcase in Vietnam.
#1 The Return of Nong-O
Muay Thai living legend Nong-O Gaiyanghadao defends his ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Championship against newcomer Brice “The Truck” Delval in the night’s main event.
With more than two decades of experience, the Thai warrior has continuously exhibited his one-of-a-kind skills in each appearance at The Home Of Martial Arts – and expect this to be a similar outing for the Evolve MMA representative.
He has undeniably cemented his legacy, but his Algerian opponent Delval has a few tricks in his bag, which could turn the match around in an instant.
Both strikers are versatile, and on paper, it is tough to pick a winner from this headliner.
#2 Two Mixed Martial Arts Atomweight Stars Set for A Striking Delight
The art of Muay Thai and Wushu will be tested against one another when hometown hero Bi “Killer Bee” Nguyen faces India’s Puja “The Cyclone” Tomar in an atomweight Muay Thai duel.
This match marks the duo’s debut in ONE Super Series, following their impressive outings in the mixed martial arts discipline.
Nguyen’s first love has always been Muay Thai and Tomar’s ability to strike with a wushu background compliment each other well.
Can “Killer Bee” sting Tomar in Ho Chi Minh City?
#3 Malaysians Set To Fly The National Spirit High
Malaysia’s martial arts status will continue to fly high as Mohamad Fakri Bin Yusoff and Azwan Che Wil of Kelantan compete in ONE’s inaugural show in Vietnam.
Johor-based Fakri takes on British-Vietnamese Michael Pham in a featherweight Muay Thai showdown, while Azwan challenges local warrior Nguyen Tran Duy Nhat in a flyweight Muay Thai exchange.
These warriors have a combined 15 years of experience in the striking department, and expect them to apply every “art of eight limbs” weapon when they compete in the ring.
