ONE Championship returns to Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, September 4, for ONE Fight Night 47. The event will be broadcast live from Lumpinee Stadium.
Six new bouts have officially been booked for the American primetime show. The lineup features a marquee women’s Muay Thai showdown, a heavy-hitting flyweight Muay Thai clash, three MMA contests, and a highly anticipated submission grappling encounter.
Stamp Fairtex vs Selina Flores
Stamp Fairtex meets Selina Flores in an atomweight Muay Thai showdown. Stamp is a former three-sport ONE world champion and one of the biggest stars in the entire promotion.
The Fairtex Training Center superstar returned to winning ways from a lengthy injury layoff earlier this year via a split decision triumph over Mexican slugger Cynthia Flores at The Inner Circle 20 back in June. The 28-year-old now looks to build back-to-back wins as she chases a return to the top of the atomweight ranks.
Selina Flores won’t be an easy opponent, however. The American fighter is a multi-time WBC Muay Thai world champion who made an immediate impact in her promotional debut at ONE Fight Night 36.
The 28-year-old joined the promotion on a four-fight winning streak and extended it to five with a solid three-round showing against Marie McManamon. A win over Stamp could push her closer to a shot at ONE women’s atomweight Muay Thai world champion Allycia Hellen Rodrigues.
Jaosuayai vs Jordan Estupinan
Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi collides with Colombian striker Jhordan Estupinan in a flyweight Muay Thai clash. Jaosuayai is a 24-year-old Thai knockout artist chasing the 61st win of his career. The Sor Dechapan product is looking to snap a three-fight skid and get back to the form that saw him produce a 52-second head-kick destruction of Nakrob Fairtex, a finish that earned him a US$50,000 performance bonus.
Meanwhile, Estupinan burst onto the ONE scene with an unbeaten 9-0 record built on statement wins over Ali Saldoev and Freddie Haggerty. Back-to-back setbacks have since interrupted that rise, and the Colombian will look to his training under Team CSK and Team JC Fernandez to author a bounce-back performance. Both men enter with their backs against the wall — but neither is short on danger.
A trio of intriguing MMA battles and a submission grappling chess match
The strawweight MMA division serves up a fascinating clash between veteran Gilbert Nakatani and rising Indian phenom Nazareth Lalthazuala. Nakatani is a 32-year-old Californian from Aragon Training Academy with nine career wins, seven via finish, who earned a first-round knockout victory in his most recent outing.
Lalthazuala, meanwhile, is a 25-year-old unbeaten sensation from Dojang MMA who tore through ONE Friday Fights to earn his six-figure main roster contract. The 8-0 Indian makes his global debut against a battle-tested opponent.
The women’s atomweight division delivers an intriguing storyline between two South American contenders with a shared history. Gabriela Fujimoto is a 23-year-old Brazilian with a 7-1 record and a karate background who dropped her ONE debut via TKO to Jihin Radzuan.
Macarena Aragon, a 24-year-old Argentine from San Miguel de Tucuman, owns a victory over that very same Radzuan. That shared thread makes this contest one of the most curious matchups on the entire card.
In featherweight MMA, Hector Almonacid faces Pedro Dantas. Almonacid is a 24-year-old Argentine and former FFC Featherweight Champion with an 11-1 career record, seven of those coming via submission. Dantas is a 23-year-old Brazilian from Guerreiros Team and a second-generation MMA fighter following in the footsteps of his father Paulo. Both men chase career-defining performances on the global stage.
The submission grappling chess match sees Rafael Lovato Jr. lock horns with Pawel Jaworski at middleweight. Lovato Jr. is a 43-year-old American widely regarded as one of the most decorated BJJ practitioners in history and the only fighter to complete the IBJJF grand slam in both gi and no-gi.
Jaworski is a 22-year-old Polish grappler from Academia Gorila who pushed ONE welterweight submission grappling world champion Tye Ruotolo the full 10 minutes in his promotional debut earlier this year.
