Liam Harrison thinks Superlek should have never fought at ONE 172.
ONE Championship’s highly anticipated return to Japan was set to feature five massive ONE world championship bouts, including a title unification clash between ONE bantamweight Muay Thai titleholder Superlek and interim champ Nabil Anane. However, Superlek failed to meet the hydration requirements for the fight. As a result, Superlek was stripped of his 26 pounds of gold.
Typically, the fight would move forward as scheduled, but with only the athlete who made weight and hydration eligible to win the belt.
