ONE Championship returns to Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, July 17, with another exclusive card for members of The Inner Circle, streaming live at live.onefc.com.
A ONE Strawweight Kickboxing World ****** le rematch four years in the making tops a card that also features the world's top-ranked women's no-gi grappler and one of ****** an's most dangerous kickboxers hunting a path back to another shot at gold.
In the main event, Jonathan Di Bella makes the first defense of his ONE Strawweight Kickboxing World ****** le against Zhang Peimian in a rematch of the fight that started it all.
Di Bella, the son of Kickboxing Champion Angelo Di Bella, grew up on the mats of his family's Montreal gym, and turned pro at 20 after going 20-0 as a junior and amateur. He has since become a four-time World Champion with one of the highest significant strike outputs in ONE kickboxing history, setting records for the most strikes landed in a single fight during his unification win over Prajanchai PongSuphan PK last October — a performance that left no doubt about who the best strawweight in the world is.
Zhang was 60 seconds away from derailing all of that at ONE 162 in 2022. The young Chinese fighter from rural Guangxi — who grew up chopping sugar cane and cutting rice on his family farm before his headteacher introduced him to martial arts — had led on all three scorecards heading into the final minute of the final round, only for Di Bella to produce a clutch head kick knockdown that ****** ed the ****** le.
