ONE on Prime Video 15 has gained an intriguing clash as
Timofey
Nastyukhin and Lipeng
Zhang will collide in ONE
Championship’s lightweight division, learned Sherdog Monday
morning.
Nastyukhin (14-7, 7-6 One), a former ONE lightweight championship
challenger, boasts a victory over former
Ultimate Fighting Championship 155-pound titleholder Eddie
Alvarez in 2019. After also defeating Pieter
Buist, the Russian fighter challenged Christian
Lee for the divisional belt, losing via technical knockout in
73 seconds at One on TNT 2.
Zhang (33-12-2, 2-1 One) has been on the sidelines since September
when he dropped a unanimous decision to Khabib
Nurmagomedov’s protégé, Saygid
Izagakhmaev. It marked the UFC vet’s first loss in four years
as “The Warrior” had amassed six straight positive results prior,
including a draw with Ednilson
de Jose Barros and a dominant performance over two-time One
titleholder Eduard
Folayang.
One on Prime Video 15, also known as ONE Fight Night 15, will go
down at the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. The event
will be headlined by a highly-anticipated clash between current
featherweight muay thai titleholder Tawanchai P.K. Saenchaimuaythaigym and former
featherweight kickboxing champion Superbon
Singha Mawynn Banchamek.
