Prediction: Who gets the $50,000 bonuses at ONE Fight Night 7?

ONE Championship prides itself on bringing an exciting brand of combat sports to the global stage. The largest martial arts organization in the world even has the numbers to back it up, with a stunning 70 percent finishing rate on its fight cards.

In turn, the promotion makes sure to reward its fighters who go above and beyond to put on a show inside the circle. Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong shows his appreciation by generously handing out a cool $50,000 USD performance bonus.

Hearing Mitch Chilson with his trademark spiel during post-fight interviews has even become a spectacle of its own.

With that said, the bonuses are expected to keep flowing at the upcoming ONE on Fight Night 7: Lineker vs Andrade II event on February 24, set for the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

The entire event will air live in US primetime and free for all Amazon Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.

Here are three fighters who will likely receive hefty incentives this coming Friday.

#3. Danielle Kelly (catchweight submission grappling)

Submission grappling superstar Danielle Kelly has been making a habit of collecting $50,000 cheques after her fights inside the circle. The Silver Fox BJJ standout has already cashed in two performance bonuses since joining the promotion last year.

Kelly proved her hype is real by dominating a proven veteran like Mei Yamaguchi in her promotional debut. While the fight ended in a draw, the 27-year-old clearly had the upper hand. She displayed the true beauty of grappling-exclusive matches with impeccable guard passes, slick transitions, and mesmerizing submission attempts.

Kelly deservingly received a second bonus when she choked out Mariia Molchanova with relative ease in her next outing.

Next, the American will take on her stiffest challenge yet against former women’s strawweight world title challenger Ayaka Miura.

If all goes as planned for Kelly, her pockets might get deeper after ONE Fight Night 7.

#2. Tawanchai PK.Saenchai (ONE featherweight Muay Thai)

Reigning featherweight Muay Thai king Tawanchai PK.Saenchai will undoubtedly receive the biggest cheers inside Lumpinee Stadium when he makes his first world title defense against Jamal Yusupov.

The hometown hero would love to reciprocate that support by knocking out his gutsy challenger in the most decisive way possible.

Tawanchai is indeed one of the most methodical fighters in the promotion, capable of dominating his opponents with surgical precision.

We also witnessed the 23-year-old blitz his opponents early when he annihilated Saemapetch Fairtex and Niclas Larsen in under a round.

If Tawanchai can add Yusupov to his growing list of highlight-worthy KO victims, then he might just be a lock for the extra $50,000.

#1. Fabricio Andrade (bantamweight MMA)

Fabricio Andrade came razor close to becoming the first fighter to knock out John Lineker in their first encounter at ONE on Prime Video 3 last year. Had that follow-up knee been a few centimeters higher, ‘Wonder Boy’ would probably have the 145-pound golden strap by now.

That performance was certainly worthy of a $50,000 bonus if not for the unintentional foul. The self-proclaimed “uncrowned king” of the bantamweights will finally get his shot at redemption in the headlining act of ONE on Fight Night 7.

Despite the unfortunate circumstances, Andrade’s confidence has never wavered heading into arguably the biggest rematch in the promotion’s history. The 25-year-old is a finisher of the highest order, with four of his five victories inside the circle coming by knockout or submission.

For sure, Andrade intends to leave Lumpinee Stadium with both the bantamweight world title and a $50,000 performance bonus on top of it.
