ONE Championship has revealed two marquee matchups for ONE Fight Night 25. The event goes down on Friday, October 4, from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. Two World Championship collisions will headline the action this fall.

At the top of the bill, lightweight kickboxers Alexis Nicolas and Regian Eersel will run it back. In April, at ONE Fight Night 21, Nicolas stunned “The Immortal” with a unanimous decision win to take the ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Title. Now, Eersel can reclaim the gold with an immediate rematch.

Eersel was seemingly untouchable at lightweight. The Surinamese striker had claimed gold in two sports and defeated everyone that crossed his path. That changed when Nicolas rolled into the main event, and now he’s out to prove it was not a fluke.

In the co-main event, atomweights Denice Zamboanga and Alyona Rassohyna go head-to-head for the ONE Interim Atomweight MMA World Championship. The reigning queen, Stamp Fairtex, has been sidelined with an injury but now the division will move forward. Both women hope for a huge victory to set up an important unification clash when the Thai star is healthy.

Zamboanga enters as the #1-ranked contender in the division. However, Rassohyna already holds a win over Stamp and only lost the rematch by split decision. This showdown will firmly answer who is next for Stamp while ensuring the division remains active in her absence.

ONE Fight Night 25 airs live on Prime Video on Friday, October 4. The action begins at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. The event is free for all Amazon Prime subscribers based in the U.S. and Canada.
