ONE Championship Announce Full Card For ONE Fight Night 11

As ONE Championship's US debut nears, the world's largest martial arts promotion has no plans to take the foot off the gas following the milestone event in the West.

That's because on Saturday, 10 June, the promotion will return with ONE Fight Night 11 live from the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. There, two-sport kingpin Regian Eersel defends his ONE Lightweight Muay Thai World Championship against Dmitry Menshikov.

Regian Eersel to headline ONE Fight Night 11

Since arriving in ONE, Eersel has wasted no time in becoming a phenom at the helm of his sports, winning all nine of his outings under kickboxing and Muay Thai rules.

The Surinamese striker enters the contest boasting a 60-4 record accompanied by an impressive 21-fight winning streak, while triumphantly holding both the ONE Lightweight Muay Thai and Kickboxing World Championships.

"The Immortal" was last in action this past March at ONE Friday Fights 9, where he set the record straight in the sequel against Sinsamut Klinmee, stopping his rival with a body shot in the fourth round.

And with his turnaround time coming in fast fashion, he will look to stop another rising contender when he meets the meteoric Menshikov this summer in Bangkok, Thailand.

A heavy-handed powerhouse, Menshikov rides an 11-fight winning streak into his first promotional outing. Having amassed 19 knockouts in 27 career victories, the firepower possessed by the Russian will certainly keep the champion wary.

Elsewhere, the co-main event sees an elite grappling affair as ONE Lightweight Submission Grappling World Champion Kade Ruotolo returns to defend his crown against European standout and decorated BJJ black belt Tommy Langaker.

The 20-year-old Ruotolo has been untouchable over his three victories inside the Circle, having showcased his talents against grappling legend Shinya Aoki and Matheus Gabriel, as well as earning a heel-hook finish over sambo specialist Uali Kurzhev at ONE on Prime Video 3 last October.

Langaker, on the other hand, brings a grappling repertoire that has made him Europe's top BJJ practitioner. As well as sharing a similar victory with Ruotolo in submitting Kurzhev, the Norwegian also holds two wins inside the Circle that have earned him US$50,000 performance bonuses.

Fans will also see the return of former ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion Superbon Singha Mawynn elsewhere on the card, who looks to bounce right back into the win column and the World Title fold when he meets #5-ranked Tayfun Ozcan on the main card.
