#1 John Lineker Vs. Alexey Balyko

Former ONE Bantamweight MMA Wor🌄ld Champion is already one of the mo🍌st beloved brawlers in the history of MMA, so it’s no surprise that fans have welcomed the Brazilian’s foray into the all-striking arena.

After enjoying an unforgettable knockout win over in his Muay Thai debut at , the hard-hitting Brazili🐈an makes a quick turnaround to face Russian knockout artist in a bantamweig💃ht clash.

Lineker’s wildly aggressive, boxing-heavy approach will be put to the test against Balyko, an experienced stand-up specialist who is willin🦋g to engage in a firefight if it means he can score the stoppage.

Simply put, fans should buckle up and prepare themselves for an instantꦗ F🌠ight of the Year contender when these two warriors enter the ring.

#2 Amy Pirnie Vs. Shir Cohen

Lower on the card, Scottish veteran will square 💙off with surging Israeli phenom in an atomweight Muay Thai tilt that guarantees white-knuckle action for as long as it lasts.

A decorated champion outside of ONE, Pirnie made her promotional debut in August at , where she e🥃nded ‘s winning streak with one of the year’s most spectacular knockouts.

That one-punch KO caught the attention of fans and instantly made the 31-year-old a🀅 serious contender in the atomweight ranks. She’ll hope to keep her momentum going with another big finish, but standing across from her will be one of Muay Thai’s most skilled young talents.

The 23-year-old Cohen is a fearless, 🌼forward-marching scrap𝐆per who thrives in blood-and-guts wars – and boasts a 2-0 record in the world’s largest martial arts organization.

Given each woman’s penchant for trading leather, this contesꦏt is unlikely to disappointꦕ.

#3 Danial Williams Vs. Banma Duoji

One of the few athletes to have competed in Muay Thai, ♈kickboxing, and ♎MMA in ONE Championship, Williams has earned a reputation as must-watch television every time he competes.

Despite struggling against truly elite competition in his last few outings, the Australian-Thai remains one of the organization’s most ente﷽rtaiওning fighters with all the skills to capture 26 pounds of gold.

Banm💖a, though, is a prodigious aಞthlete and prolific finisher, sporting stoppages in all but one of his 15 career victories.

Now, with both men hungry to climb the flyweight MMA ranks – and neither man knowing what it means toꦰ be in a boring fight – fans can look forward to an epic battle at ONE Fight Night 25.
