The next contender for the ONE welterweight MMA world title could emerge from the rubble once the dust settles between Zebastian Kadetam and Isi Fitikefu.
This possible world title eliminator at 185 pounds has been added to ONE Fight Night 31: Kongthoranee vs. Nong-O II on Prime Video, taking place in the fabled grounds of Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on May 2, live in US primetime.
ONE Championship fans certainly know all about Kadestam's destructive capabilities. 'The Bandit' holds seven victories in the home of martial arts, with all of those coming by way of vicious stoppages.
The former welterweight MMA world titleholder proved he is still a legitimate threat in the division when he halted Roberto Soldic's massive hype train at ONE Fight Night 10 in 2023.
