Former ONE strawweight kickboxing world champion Jonathan Di Bella of Canada and Italy made a successful return to action last weekend at ONE Fight Night 26 on Prime Video, trumping Portugal's Rui Botelho in a dominant one-sided performance.
Di Bella showcased his veteran experience to nullify virtually anything Botelho threw at him, as he cruised to a three-round unanimous decision victory.
Speaking to the media at the official ONE Fight Night 26 on Prime Video post-fight interviews, Di Bella named Prajanchai PK Saenchai, and potentially Sam-A Gaiyanghadao, as possible future opponents for him.

"Prajanchai will be a great fight. Those are the two that I think I have left to fight and meet at the highest level. I think I beat everybody else. I'm not sure who else is left. But yeah, I think those two fights make sense. Yeah, those are my two fights that I could see happening."
With the win, Di Bella is back and ready to make another run at the gold.

Jonathan Di Bella gives props to Rui Botelho: "I knew he was going to be tough"
Despite their in-ring jockeying, Jonathan Di Bella says Rui Botelho proved to be a worthy opponent.
The 28-year-old was happy with his win. He said:
"Yeah, man, it feels good to be back in the win column. I fought another high-level opponent, and you know, he's been in there with Superlek, Panpayak, you know, all the other big fighters here in ONE. And, yeah, I knew he was going to be tough to finish because he has never been finished in ONE. So, yeah, that's it. It feels good."
