ONE Championship returns to Bangkok\u2019s iconic Lumpinee Stadium with another explosive night of martial arts action this Friday, April 10.<\/p>\n
Broadcasting live in U.S. primetime, ONE Fight Night 42: Mann vs. Dzhabrailov<\/a> on Prime Video delivers a stacked card across MMA, Muay Thai, and submission grappling and is just one of three events going down this weekend.<\/p>\n The headliner features a welterweight MMA clash between undefeated Chase Mann<\/a> and Dzhabir Dzhabrailov<\/a>, with the winner making a strong case for the next shot at the ONE Welterweight MMA World Title, currently held by two-division king Christian Lee<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the co-main event, living legend Sam-A Gaiyanghadao<\/a> looks to continue his career resurgence against Moroccan knockout artist Elmehdi \u201cThe Sniper\u201d El Jamari<\/a> in a pivotal strawweight Muay Thai showdown.<\/p>\n The supporting card is loaded with explosive matchups and finishers hungry to make a statement on the global stage. Here are three bouts that could steal the show at ONE Fight Night 42.<\/p>\n #1 Black Panther Vs. Paez<\/p>\n It\u2019s open season in the flyweight Muay Thai division, and both Black Panther<\/a> and Diego Paez<\/a> arrive in Bangkok determined to establish themselves as undeniable contenders.<\/p>\n This fight was scheduled for ONE Fight Night 40<\/a> in February but fell through when Black Panther pulled out due to illness. Now fans will finally get to see them face off.<\/p>\n The 32-year-old Paez recently displayed his technical mastery and sharp combinations to score a statement upset at ONE Fight Night 32<\/a> last June over highly touted Johan \u201cJojo\u201d Ghazali<\/a>. He arrives looking to build on that momentum.<\/p>\n Standing in his way is Black Panther, who enters on a four-fight winning streak. Armed with a ferocious killer instinct and heavy kicks, he has consistently proven he can end a night in a flash.<\/p>\n When Paez\u2019s technical boxing meets Black Panther\u2019s raw finishing power, expect a firefight \u2014 and with the flyweight Muay Thai throne vacant, one of these men could make a strong case for the next crack at gold.<\/p>\n #2 Suakim Vs. Kuzmin<\/p>\n A clash of styles takes center stage when Suakim Pongsuphan PK<\/a> squares off against Vladimir Kuzmin<\/a> in a bantamweight Muay Thai contest.<\/p>\n Suakim is renowned for his relentless forward pressure and slicing elbows. He brings a bruising, old-school approach to the ring, dragging opponents into the trenches and breaking them down.<\/p>\n Kuzmin is a master of distance and precision. The Russian uses his length and rapid-fire combinations with superb footwork to dismantle forward-moving fighters, reading their rhythm to land counter-shots before pivoting out of danger.<\/p>\n He is the near-perfect counter to Suakim\u2019s pressure-heavy offense, which makes this one of the most compelling technical matchups on the card.<\/p>\n #3 Perreira Vs. Nakatani<\/p>\n A flyweight MMA clash rounds out the must-watch trio at ONE Fight Night 42, as Joshua \u201cFlyin Hawaiian\u201d Perreira<\/a> and Gilbert Nakatani<\/a> look to climb the divisional ladder.<\/p>\n Perreira returns to ONE after overcoming a career-threatening injury<\/a> and a defeat in his promotional debut against Banma Duoji<\/a> at ONE Fight Night 29<\/a> in March 2025. He brings an aggressive, all-action style and arrives with plenty to prove.<\/p>\n
