American star Luke Lessei is returning for his third fight at ONE Fight Night 23, where he will face formidable technician in Bampara Kouyate.
Slated to go down inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, 'The Chef' plans to prove that he has better skills than his French rival, and determined to use all limbs allowed to gain victory.
Indeed, his first two fights in the world's largest martial arts organization were filled with non-stop action, but Lessei still believes he has more in his sleeves in this crucial matchup.

Luke Lessei admits Bampara Kouyate can be a tough opponent
Luke Lessei is a life-long learner, and the biggest thing he learned is not to underestimate any opponents.
'The Chef' is taking that exact knowledge when he clashes with Bampara Kouyate at ONE Fight Night 23 this Friday, July 5, inside the legendary Lumpinee Stadium.
For the Iowa native, Kouyate is somewhat unforeseen, as he only appeared once within the world's largest martial arts organization. But he is not taking anything for granted.
With great confidence, he told Violent Money TV about how he thinks this fight would go:
"Yeah, he's a Muay Femur fighter, he's got pretty quick reactions, he's athletic, he's tall, he's fit, but then I start to think of, 'Do these things separate him from not only me but anybody else from the pack?' And I'm not sure there is anything, which of course, any fighter can beat anybody on any given day."
