This weekend is good. Very good. Organizations across the board are putting on bonkers matchups on all fronts everywhere. We’re really quite spoiled, and it’s a pretty good time to be a fan.
Now, if you’re also a fan of kickboxing, ONE has you covered. This week’s event actually has more kickboxing/Muay Thai fights than MMA. Nong-O vs Hiroaki Suzuki may be the headliner, but the MMA portion’s got some meat on it. Hard-hitting Japanese talent Shoko Sato (31-16, 3 draws) has been in some brutal bouts, and he’ll be looking to make an impression as the VTJ, Shooto, Pancrase and ROAD vet makes his ONE debut against dangerous Kiwi Mark Abelardo (18-5).
