"Gonna be a damn war" - Fans barely hold their excitement for impending barnburner between Superlek and Nico Carrillo at ONE 170

Current number two-ranked ONE bantamweight Muay Thai contender Nico Carrillo rides a four-fight win streak in ONE Championship by sweeping all his assignments under the promotion.

This earned him his first shot for the coveted 26-pound golden belt that two-division world champion Superlek Kiatmoo9 currently holds, and they are set to collide in the main event of the ONE 170 card on Jan. 24, which goes down inside the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.

Ahead of this clash, ONE Championship published a video preview of this massive fight on Instagram with the caption:

"On a roll 🤯 Can Nico Carrillo's streak hold strong in his battle for the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title against Superlek at ONE 170? @nicocarrillo_kotn"

Also highlighted in the video were 'The King of the North's' victories against Furkan Karabag, Muangthai PK Saenchai, Nong-O Hama, and Saemapetch Fairtex.

Fans couldn't contain their excitement for the showdown, as users @danielcc93, @crimsonfalcon07, and @schizo.warrior sent their reactions through the comments:

"Dammm it cannot wait 🔥 thats gonna be a dam war"

"If he can, that's a new legend there. Would like to see him vs Haggerty also."

"Superlek is more likely to win, but I'm supporting my fellow scotsman."

Before the Deachkalek Muay Thai representative competes in his inaugural championship match, he appeared on the Leather'd Podcast, where he revealed that he launched a new venture that would help the Muay Thai community.

The 26-year-old Scottish star stated:

"Yes. So we've built a community. It's sorta like school. It's not just a website you go on. Let me go back to the start. I've built something called nicomuaythai.com. And it's all Muay Thai. All my tutorials. From beginners to advance to my level of fighting. All the stuff I learned from all my life, my time training different camps in Thailand, training with all different champions."
