3 Fights You Can't Miss at ONE Fight Night 31

1. Zebaztian Kadestam vs. Isi Fitikefu

3. Sean Climaco vs. Akif Guluzada

Two of the flyweight Muay Thai division's finest strikers will go head-to-head in a thrilling showdown. Filipino-American striker Sean Climaco will trade leather with Azerbaijani teenage sensation Akif Guluzada, who recently earned a six-figure contract and a spot on ONE's global roster.
