'The Immortal' will once again treat fans with the highest levels of striking in his third and perhaps final meeting with archnemesis Alexis Nicolas in the penultimate match of ONE Fight Night 30: Kryklia vs Knowles on Prime Video.

In an interview with Nick Atkin before the festivities at Bangkok's Lumpinee Stadium on April 4, Eersel guaranteed another memorable show.

"Saturday morning, it’s going to be war. Like I said, I’m coming to bring violence - we create beautiful violence."

Regian Eersel and Alexis Nicolas fought a total of 10 rounds, with both fighters scoring a win over the other in their first two razor-close meetings.

Now, it's time to settle this rivalry once and for all and determine the true best 170-pound striker on the planet.

The Surinamese striker has truly been a force in the home of martial arts, winning 11 of his 12 bouts. That lone blemish, of course, came at the hands of 'Barboza', who even dropped Eersel in their initial encounter.
