#2. Fabricio Andrade
Fabricio Andrade has been on a tear since joining ONE Championship. The 24-year-old is undefeated in four outings which include three stoppages.
He scored back-to-back first-round knockouts, which shot his confidence to the moon. ‘Wonderboy’ claimed that he is the “uncrowned king” of the division, and called out practically everyone in the division to prove that he is the best.

He will face the No.2-ranked Kang Ji Won on Friday, where he can position himself better for a future world title opportunity. Kang has a 100% finishing rate in the circle, including a knockout victory over former ONE bantamweight world champion Kevin Belingon to earn his spot in the rankings.
Andrade has so far shown that he can back up his talk with convincing wins, and adding a highly-ranked opponent to his list of conquests will further legitimize his claim to being the best in the division.
#1. Tawanchai PK.Saenchai
Tawanchai PK.Saenchai is set to compete in his first main event, which could be just the first of many in the years to come.
The 23-year-old already has over 100 wins under his belt before making his debut in in 2021. He currently has two wins in the promotion, with both coming by way of knockout. His latest outing was a stunning knockout victory over No.1-ranked bantamweight Saemapetch Fairtex in January.
He has since decided to make a permanent move to featherweight, and his latest win installed him as the No.5-ranked fighter in the division. Winning his world title eliminator against promotional newcomer Niclas Larsen will vault him into another potential main event against division king Petchmorakot Petchyindee. Adding another highlight-reel knockout will certainly prove to the world that he is ready for superstardom.
