ONE on Prime Video 4 isn’t just stacked to the gills with matches, it’s also chock-full of storylines that would see its culmination this Friday at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

The card will have a perfect avenue at Amazon Prime Video, and existing subscribers in North America able to stream the event for free.

The main event features Christian Lee, the reigning ONE lightweight world champion, taking on Kiamrian Abbasov for the ONE welterweight world championship.

Lee and Abbasov are the perfect headliners for the event with both fighters determined to stake their claim as the best-for-pound fighters in the world.

Abbasov has held his world title since October 2019 and he wants nothing more than to establish himself as one of the greatest welterweights in ONE Championship history.

Lee, meanwhile, plans to add another world title to his collection just three months after he regained the ONE lightweight world title from Ok Rae Yoon at ONE 160 this past August.

While Abbasov and Lee rightfully deserve their place atop the card, there are still other athletes who are set for career-defining matches.

That said, here are those three fighters who deserve your full attention at ONE on Prime Video 4.


#3. Danielle Kelly

Danielle Kelly was slowly making a name for herself in the Brazilian jiu-jitsu circles but her debut at ONE Championship made her a global star.

The American grappler debuted against the always dangerous Mei Yamaguchi at ONE X this past March and her coming match at ONE on Prime Video 4 won’t be any easier.

Kelly will face Russian fighter Mariia Molchanova this Friday in what is seen as a pivotal match for both grapplers. Molchanova is a sambo world champion and would certainly pose a new threat to Kelly.

Nevertheless, the BJJ black belt will be ready for her upcoming challenge. Kelly owns 19 BJJ wins in her professional career and she’s beaten the likes of Jessica Crane, Sofia Amarante, Cynthia Calvillo, and former UFC world champion Carla Esparza.

A win for Kelly will, nonetheless, put another feather in her cap, and it could even give her a fair argument for a potential world title shot.


#2. Stephen Loman

Coming from a famed gym always brings in added pressure, but Stephen Loman seems to have reveled in that hostile atmosphere.

Loman has, so far, proven his chops at ONE Championship going 2-0 after highly impressive wins over Yusup Saadulaev and Shoko Sato. The Team Lakay standout, however, will be in the biggest fight of his career when he faces Brazilian legend Bibiano Fernandes.

A champion in his previous promotion, Loman is now the no.5-ranked bantamweight contender in ONE Championship and a win over Fernandes at ONE on Prime Video 4 might just push him to a world title shot.

Fernandes, though, is no pushover and might just be the toughest opponent Loman will face. ‘The Flash’ had two lengthy reigns with the ONE bantamweight world title and is now the no.3-ranked contender in the division.

Loman may not be on the same pedestal as Fernandes yet, but he’s surely a fighter on the rise. His ONE on Prime Video 4 showdown against the former bantamweight king is exactly what he needs to break through the proverbial stratosphere.


#1. Joseph Lasiri

Might as well call Joseph Lasiri the Cinderella Man.

The ONE strawweight Muay Thai world champion defied the odds and grabbed the gold he’s always envisioned himself winning. After starting his ONE Championship at 0-4, ‘The Hurricane’ stormed back, going on a three-fight winning streak in his last trio of bouts.

Lasiri’s last match in the promotion saw him force Prajanchai PK.Saenchai, a man regarded as one of the best of his generation, quit on the stool to claim the ONE strawweight Muay Thai world title.

His next match, though, puts him in the familiar underdog spot that he’s always had. Lasiri returns to his old weight class and will challenge the iconic Rodtang Jitmuangnon for the ONE flyweight Muay Thai world title at ONE on Prime Video 4.

Rodtang is, obviously, a megastar in the martial arts world and Lasiri wants to achieve that same status. One way to do that is to snatch the belt from the Thai phenom’s grasp.

Lasiri is in for the fight of his life, but that situation is nothing new to the Italian-Moroccan striker. He’s already faced adversity multiple times, and Lasiri is ready to grab yet another chance at glory at ONE on Prime Video 4.
