Unfortunately, the 32-year-old left empty-handed after failing to pass hydration for the fight, resulting in him being stripped of the lightweight kickboxing crown.

Still, 'The Immortal' was thrilled to showcase another stellar performance and take two out of the three against one of the hardest opponents he's ever faced.

"Yeah, I'm feeling amazing," Eersel said in a post-fight interview with the South China Morning Post. "I got the win, so I'm happy. I got the eight counts, so I'm very happy, and I enjoyed this fight."

Eersel hopes to one day reclaim the 26 pounds he lost on the stool. For now, 'The Immortal' is looking forward to defending his ONE lightweight Muay Thai world title next.


Regian Eersel welcomes a title tilt against George Jarvis

Also competing at ONE Fight Night 30 was rising lightweight Muay Thai contender George Jarvis. 'G-Unit' earned his third straight win on martial arts' biggest global stage, besting Mouhcine Chafi via unanimous decision. Following the victory, Jarvis called for a potential title clash with Regian Eersel.

Getting wind of Jarvis's comments, 'The Immortal' was more than open to a potential meeting between the two.

"I don't throw names, but you say, George Jarvis, we will see," Eersel said. "He called out my name. Maybe we'll do it."

With Eersel ready to get back to work in four-ounce gloves, is Jarvis the next man up for the Surinamese sensation, or is there another name that should be on Eersel's radar?

If you missed any of the action, ONE Championship fans in the United States and Canada can watch the ONE Fight Night 30 replay on demand via Amazon Prime Video.
