However, no one suffered more from Eersel's relentless knee than Brad Riddell when they fought each other in April 2018 on the supporting card of ONE: Heroes of Honor, which took place at the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines.
Making his promotional debut, Eersel announced his arrival in dominant fashion, securing a unanimous decision victory at the expense of Riddell in a three-round lightweight kickboxing contest.
Utilizing his height and reach to full effect, "The Immortal" pestered Riddell with crisp, lashing strikes. His most telling shot came in the second frame, where he dropped his foe from Auckland, New Zealand, with a crushing knee to the midsection.
In the final frame, Eersel maintained control, stiffling Riddell's offense with on-point counterstrikes to seal his fate on the scorecards.
Off the back of that victory, Eersel continued to elevate his promising career, winning 10 of his next 11 assignments. His impressive run ultimately led him to double gold as he cemented himself as the ONE lightweight kickboxing and Muay Thai world champion.
