ONE 167

ONE Championship is back this weekend, bringing an eleven-bout martial arts card to the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.

In the main event, Tawanchai looks to defend his Featherweight Muay Thai belt in a rematch against Jo Nattawut, while fan-favorite Rodtang returns opposite Denis Puric. The card also features names like Sitthichai, Mikey Musumeci, Liam Harrison, and Kade Ruotolo, who is set to mke his MMA debut.


Tawanchai PK Saenchai vs. Jo Nattawut 2 (FTW Muay Thai Championship)

My Pick: Tawanchai via Decision

Rodtang Jitmuangnon vs. Denis Puric (FLW Kickboxing)

My Pick: Rodtang via Decision

Mikey Musumeci vs. Joao Gabriel Sousa (BW Grappling)

I wanted to make a particular note of this bout, as I am incredibly excited for this fight. Sousa was the last man to beat Mikey back in 2021, submitting him with a north-south choke. Mikey has gone on a tear since, not just in ONE Championship, but facing and submitting elites across his divisions. I think Mikey has made the requisite improvements since their last meeting and will catch Sousa in a leg lock, though I must say I’m interested to see the opening line on Sousa.

My Pick: Mikey Musumeci via Submission

My Pick: Liam Harrison via Decision
