Regian Eersel is confident he thoroughly outclassed Alexis Nicolas during their rubber match in the co-main event of ONE Fight Night 30.
Though it was arguably the finest display he produced over 'Barboza,' Eersel was stripped of his lightweight kickboxing crown for failing hydration during fight week, which left him ineligible to capture the vacant 26 pounds of gold.
Still, he didn't let that overshadow his performance on fight night, as he bagged a second straight win over the French striker inside the packed Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, last Friday, April 4.
Regian Eersel took the opening frame to assess the Mahmoudi Gym martial artist. From there, it was all one-way traffic.

The Sityodtong Amsterdam warrior held nothing back, shredding Nicolas' defense to bits with big volumes of strikes. He primarily operated behind his jab-cross combos, and, as always, threw in his signature flying knees that left Nicolas in search of answers throughout the championship rounds.
After five rounds of action, the Suriname striker bagged a majority decision win, and Eersel couldn't have been more pleased by the outcome.
Speaking during the ONE Fight Night 30 post-event press conference, 'The Immortal' said:
"There wasn't any point in the fight where I felt I was in danger. Like I said, he was scoring his points, but I didn't feel any moments when I was in danger."
