ONE Championship Unveils Two Bouts For ONE Fight Night 36

ONE Championship has announced two blockbuster bouts for ONE Fight Night 36, scheduled for Friday, October 3, at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. The event, which airs live on Prime Video in the U.S. and Canada at 9 p.m. ET, will feature the ONE Strawweight Kickboxing World Title unification bout and an explosive submission grappling bout. Jonathan Di Bella and Prajanchai PK Saenchai clash in a highly anticipated rematch, while Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu phenom Fabricio Andrey takes on promotional newcomer Eduardo Granzotto.

Title Unification Looms as Di Bella and Prajanchai Run It Back at ONE Fight Night 36

The main event at ONE Fight Night 36 will crown an undisputed ONE Strawweight Kickboxing World Champion when interim titleholder Jonathan Di Bella faces two-sport king Prajanchai PK Saenchai. The pair previously met in June 2024 at ONE Friday Fights 68, where Prajanchai handed the Italian-Canadian his first career loss and captured the vacant strawweight kickboxing throne with a unanimous decision victory.

Di Bella has been on a mission to reclaim his divisional crown since that setback. The 28-year-old bounced back with a dominant unanimous decision win over Rui Botelho in December 2024. Then, he claimed interim gold against legendary Sam-A Gaiyanghadao at ONE 172 in March 2025.

Prajanchai enters the tilt as the division’s most dominant force, holding both the ONE Strawweight Muay Thai and Kickboxing World Titles simultaneously. The Bangkok native has competed in over 400 professional bouts and showcased his devastating finishing ability in his most recent performance, stopping Ellis Badr Barboza via fourth-round TKO at ONE Fight Night 28 in February 2025.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Elite Collide in Submission Grappling Showdown at ONE Fight Night 36

The bantamweight submission grappling division will see fireworks at ONE Fight Night 36 as former IBJJF World Champion Fabricio “Hokage” Andrey welcomes promotional newcomer Eduardo Granzotto to the ring. Andrey made a successful ONE Championship debut in April 2025, defeating Ashley Williams via unanimous decision at ONE Fight Night 30.

The 25-year-old Brazilian brings an electrifying ground game that has captivated fans worldwide. Born and raised in the BJJ hotbed of Manaus in Brazil, “Hokage” discovered the grappling-based martial art at age 13 and quickly established himself as a prodigy. His breakout moment came in 2021 when he captured gold at the IBJJF World Championships.

Meanwhile, Granzotto represents the next generation of Brazilian submission wizards looking to make an impact. The promotional newcomer draws a challenging assignment against one of the division’s most dynamic competitors, but debuts often bring surprises in the unpredictable world of submission grappling.

Championship Gold and Grappling Excellence Await October 3 at ONE Fight Night 36

Both matchups carry significant implications for their respective divisions. The Di Bella-Prajanchai rematch will determine the undisputed strawweight kickboxing king, while Andrey looks to continue building momentum in his quest for submission grappling supremacy.

ONE Fight Night 36 airs live on Prime Video on Friday, October 3. The action begins at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. The event is free for all Amazon Prime subscribers in the U.S. and Canada.
