Airing live on Amazon Prime Video on Friday, June 7, ONE Championship's next numbered event will feature two epic world title tilts, including the return of reigning atomweight MMA queen Stamp Fairtex, who puts her gold up for grabs against Filipina star Denice Zamboanga.

But first, fans will see Tawanchai run back his instant classic with Jo Nattawut in a co-main event that can't be missed.

"Making a statement. How will the rematch between Tawanchai and “Smokin” Jo Nattawut end at ONE 167?"

ONE Championship fans showed their appreciation for Tawanchai's impeccable head kick knockout against Irish slugger Sean Clancy, writing:

"Tawanchai is a surgeon"

"So calm, so deadly"

"Superb. Smooth strikes. Powerful impact."

"Those hooks are insane."
