On Friday, ONE Championship will touch down in the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand for its first show of 2023. Broadcasting live on U.S. primetime, ONE Fight Night 6: Superbon vs. Allazov on Prime Video is topped by a trio of World Title contests and features a number of the organization’s biggest stars competing in high-stakes bouts. 

 As we look ahead to the talent-rich card, these are three fighters that are poised for massive, career-defining wins on January 13.

Daniel Puertas 

With just two fights in ONE under his belt, Spanish striker Daniel Puertas has before him the most important opportunity of his career – a showdown with Thai superstar Superlek Kiatmoo9 for the vacant ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Title.

 Originally slated to face flyweight Muay Thai king Rodtang “The Iron Man” Jitmuangnon, the two-time ISKA Kickboxing World Champion steps into this World Title clash on short notice with nothing to lose and everything to gain.

 With his heavy hands and thunderous leg kicks, Puertas could score a major upset over the surging Superlek, immediately catapulting himself into the pound-for-pound discussion.

Jiduo Yibu 

At 23 years old, Chinese sensation “The Eagle of Yi” Jiduo Yibu finds himself face-to-face with one of the planet’s biggest combat sports stars – five-time ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion Rodtang.

 To say that a victory over the Thai superstar would be “significant” is an understatement. Not only is “The Iron Man” wildly popular across ONE’s global fanbase, but he is also undefeated in 12 striking bouts inside the Circle and inarguably a pound-for-pound great. 

 When the Chinese athlete goes to war against Rodtang, he’ll need to lean on his dynamic movement and unpredictable strikes, perhaps catching his rival off guard on his way to a stunning upset win.

Garry Tonon 

Nearly one year after his first-ever MMA loss and unsuccessful bid for the ONE Featherweight World Title, submission specialist Garry “The Lion Killer” Tonon needs a win as he works his way back to the top of the division.
