ONE Championship ONE Championship
ONE Championship is returning to Bangkok’s historic Lumpinee Stadium for its final U.S. primetime show of 2024, as the world’s best martial artists will compete at ONE Fight Night 26: Lee vs. Rasulov on Prime Video this Friday, December 6.
But before the athletes can enter the ring, all 24 competitors must complete one last hurdle and make their fights official at the ONE Fight Night 26 Weigh-Ins & Hydration Tests.
Fans can tune in live by watching the video below, which starts this Thursday, December 5, at 5 a.m. ET/2 a.m. PT.
In the main event, reigning two-division ONE World Champion Christian “The Warrior” Lee makes his highly anticipated return to defend his ONE Lightweight MMA World Title against undefeated Turkish powerhouse Alibeg Rasulov.
Lee was last seen at ONE on Prime Video 4 in November 2022, when he made history by finishing Kiamrian Abbasov to capture the ONE Welterweight MMA World Title.
Meanwhile, Rasulov punched his ticket to this World Title shot when he took out former divisional king Ok Rae Yoon in his ONE Championship debut at ONE Fight Night 23 this past July.
In another World Title showdown, reigning ONE Women’s Atomweight Submission Grappling World Champion Mayssa Bastos will make the first defense of her coveted belt against the woman she took it from – American superstar Danielle Kelly.
The two elite BJJ black belts squared off earlier this year, as Bastos emerged victorious with a razor-close decision victory after 10 minutes of back-and-forth action.
The Brazilian is determined to score a more decisive win this time around, but Kelly is confident that she can even the score and retake the belt.
In another featured bout, former ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Champion Petchtanong Petchfergus will continue his march toward reclaiming his lost gold when he faces 20-year-old phenom Nabil Anane.
Petchtanong made a successful comeback with a second-round TKO victory over another former titleholder in Alaverdi Ramazanov at ONE Friday Fights 68 in June.
Meanwhile, Anane has put together five straight impressive victories to become the #5-ranked bantamweight Muay Thai contender, and he will make his ONE kickboxing debut against one of the greatest competitors in the sport.
In other action, #4-ranked flyweight MMA contender Reece McLaren welcomes ONE Interim Strawweight MMA World Champion Jarred Brooks to the division, BJJ stars Cole Abate and Dante Leon make their highly anticipated promotional debuts against a pair of ONE Championship veterans, and top-five flyweight Muay Thai contenders Denis Puric and Elias Mahmoudi throw down in a pivotal showdown.
Check out the full card below for ONE Fight Night 26: Lee vs. Rasulov on Prime Video, which begins at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT this Friday, December 6.
