ONE Fight Night 32 is just around the corner, with a lineup featuring the top Muay Thai and MMA fighters in the world. The event, taking place at Bangkok's Lumpinee Stadium on Friday, June 6, will air live in U.S. primetime. However, a significant change has emerged in the main event.
Originally, Israel’s Shir Cohen was set to challenge Allycia Hellen Rodrigues for the prestigious ONE Women’s Atomweight Muay Thai World Title. Unfortunately, an injury has forced Cohen to withdraw from this highly anticipated match. This shift opens the main event to a thrilling flyweight Muay Thai showdown between #5-ranked Nakrob Fairtex and the rising star, Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi.
Shir Cohen, a talented fighter, had previously been scheduled to challenge Rodrigues back in March, but she was sidelined due to an injury at that time as well. The 24-year-old Cohen, who trains at Fairtex Training Center in Pattaya, Thailand, was preparing intensely to make history as Israel's first ONE World Champion. Unfortunately, she faced another setback with another injury, forcing fans to wait longer for her to face the Brazilian champion Rodrigues.
Now, the focus shifts to the flyweight Muay Thai division as Nakrob Fairtex prepares for a crucial bout against Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi. This matchup promises to be pivotal, as the winner will be one step closer to competing for the vacant ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title. Nakrob, ranked #5 in the division, is eager to build momentum and prove he is ready to earn the opportunity to wear the championship belt.
On the other side, Jaosuayai, only 23 years old, comes into this fight with significant confidence. The young Thai fighter is on a four-fight winning streak and recently showcased his skills with an impressive knockout victory over former #2-ranked contender Denis Puric at ONE Friday Fights 100 in March. This knockout not only celebrated his striking prowess but also earned him a lucrative six-figure contract to join ONE Championship's global roster.
Fans can expect an explosive fight as both Nakrob and Jaosuayai aim for victory and a shot at the title. ONE Fight Night 32 will be an event to remember and a crucial moment in the careers of these remarkable athletes.
