ONE Championship is bringing the heat to Bangkok, Thailand, for ONE Fight Night 34 with four new additions. On Friday, August 1, Lumpinee Stadium will see a lot of martial arts action. Hopeful contenders will try to make big impressions in U.S. primetime and take a step closer to realizing their dreams.
Heavyweights Do Battle in Exciting ONE Fight Night 34 Clash Aug. 1
In heavyweight MMA action, South Korean powerhouse Kang Ji Won returns for a showdown against Ryugo Takeuchi. “Mighty Warrior” has exchanged wins and losses over the past few years, and is hoping to get back in the win column after a three-round war with Kirill Grishenko in July 2024. However, Japan’s Takeuchi will be equally as motivated.
Takeuchi made his debut in April but was ousted by Paul Elliott. Now with some experience under his belt on the global stage, he returns with another prime opportunity to showcase his skills. The 22-year-old can erase those memories and start to rebuild his momentum in ONE Fight Night 34.
“Art of Eight Limbs” Featured in ONE Fight Night 34
Lightweight Muay Thai action will get the crowd on its feet as Rungrawee Sitsongpeenong returns to battle Youssef Assouik. The dynamic striking battle could steal the show as both men eye a run in the division. After a successful ONE debut against Sinsamut Klinmee, Assouik hopes for a follow-up performance against “Legatron”.
The ladies will not be left out of the mix. Atomweight Anna “Supergirl” Jaroonsak and Teodora Kirilove will throw down inside the ring. Supergirl makes her return appearance after spending more than a year away from action.
Supergirl’s last bout did not have the ending she hoped for, but the young 21-year-old is revitalized and ready to return to form. Kirilova is looking to stymie her youthful opponent and pick up her first win on the global stage. Both women are looking for a signature win to bounce back in Bangkok.
Bantamweight MMA in Action in ONE Fight Night 32
The fourth addition will take place in the bantamweight MMA division. Jeremy Pacatiw and Elbek Alyshov square off in a key battle as Pacatiw defends his #5-ranked position in the rankings. As the chase for gold continues, the Filipino looks to return to form after a loss in March to Enkh-Orgil Baatarkhuu.
The debuting Alyshov will try to make an instant impact and put his name forth in the hunt. The unbeaten talent draws a prime opportunity for his promotional debut. The Russian hopes to extend his record to 9-0 and instantly become a major factor at bantamweight.
ONE Fight Night 34 airs live on Prime Video on Friday, August 1. The action begins at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. The event is free for all Amazon Prime members in the U.S. and Canada.
