The biggest domestic Muay Thai fight of 2022 is locked-in for SuperShowDown on Saturday, June 25.
Nico Carrillo is finally set to face Nathan Bendon in a highly-anticipated bout, which will be contested for the WBC Muaythai Super-Lightweight World title.
Ever since Bendon’s return to domestic action, where he defeated Brian Totty Jnr at SuperShowDown in July 2021, the fans have been itching to see a clash between him and the inform Scotsman, Nico Carrillo.
The pair have been in equally good form as off late, with Bendon picking up the WBC Muaythai International title with a win over Italian Luca Falco, followed by the World title victory against ONE Championship signed fighter, Adam Noi.
Nico Carrillo has also been picking up many accolades of his own as of late. Now on a nine-fight win streak, the Deachkalek Muay Thai Academy co-owner has won the WBC Muaythai European title as well as the ISKA Muay Thai World title.
In his most recent fight, Nico Carrillo faced Muay Thai legend, Saeksan Or.Kwanmuang at Siam Warriors Superfights in Cork, Ireland. The high-flying Scotsman continued his epic win-streak with a convincing points victory over the former two-time Rajadamnern Stadium and Channel 7 Stadium champion.
He will now return to domestic action where he faces UK Super-Lightweight #2, Nathan Bendon, which has many people calling this the biggest domestic fight in recent years and has the nation divided on who they believe will be victorious.
Can Nico continue his epic win streak and register another huge victory? Or will Bendon prove why he’s the WBC World champion with a successful first title defence?
