"I leave that all behind" - Regian Eersel ready to move on from weigh-in blunder at ONE Fight Night 30

Surinamese striking sensation Regian Eersel almost had the perfect outing at ONE Fight Night 30 last April 4 inside Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, when he outpointed his nemesis Alexis Nicolas in their trilogy match in the card's co-main event feature.

However, he wasn't able to take home the 26-pound golden belt back home because of his failed hydration test during the official weigh-ins, which ultimately led to him being stripped of the belt and not being eligible to win it back.

Although Eersel admitted that it left a bad taste in his mouth during his recent talk with the Bangkok Post in a post-fight interview, he is now ready to leave it all behind and move forward, as he proclaimed:

"Yeah, I'm very upset. But, you know, I leave that all behind. I'm happy now that I got the win, and I'm just looking forward now."

'The Immortal' has also put his rivalry with 'Barboza' to bed with this latest triumph, as he now leads their series, 2-1.

Because of his masterful and clinical performance, which culminated in a second-round knockdown of his French rival, the reigning ONE lightweight Muay Thai world champion has reiterated that he is a better fighter than him.

The 32-year-old Sityodtong Amsterdam standout stated this during his post-fight interview with the world's largest martial arts organization:
