'The Man Who Yields To No One' lived up to his nickname by taking out every fighter in front of him. Seksan last fought at ONE Friday Fights 46 last December, where he outlasted Australia's River Daz after three rounds.
While the 35-year-old is no doubt the favorite in this one, Yutaro Asahi won't go down without a fight.
The Japanese ONE debutant has won his last four fights and would love to register the biggest win of his young career by far. Asahi knows a win over Seksan will skyrocket his stock in the promotion's vaunted striking ranks.
