3 Bouts That Could Steal The Show At ONE Fight Night 46 On August 14

ONE Championship’s August 14 card at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok includes a women’s strawweight Muay Thai world title fight between defending champion Stella Hemetsberger and Natalia Diachkova, alongside three marquee bouts expected to captivate audiences. The event, broadcast live on Prime Video in U.S. primetime, blends MMA, Muay Thai, kickboxing, and submission grappling, with fighters from established teams and rising prospects aiming to elevate their global profiles.

The bantamweight MMA matchup between Jhanlo Mark Sangiao and Marcos Aurelio stands out as a clash of contrasting backgrounds and motivations. Sangiao, representing Team Lakay’s new generation, brings a 7-1 record with six first-round finishes, while Aurelio seeks redemption after a loss to a Team Lakay teammate. Both fighters possess well-rounded skills, but Aurelio’s recent submission victory signals his intent to rebound, setting up a high-energy encounter with significant divisional implications.

The flyweight MMA bout between Viet Anh Do and Davi Brandão presents an undefeated duel with a combined 12-0 record and a perfect finishing rate. Do, 6-0 with five first-round stoppages, earned a US$100,000 contract after his last performance bonus win, while Brandão, also 6-0, splits his finishes between knockouts and submissions. Their collision promises a rapid, high-stakes battle where either fighter could end the contest early, given their shared dominance in finishing fights.

The atomweight kickboxing match between Kana Morimoto and Yu Yau Pui offers a contrast of experience and recent form. Morimoto, a four-time K-1 champion with a 24-7 record, rebounded from a setback with a decision win over Stamp Fairtex but now faces pressure to regain her peak. Pui, with a less decorated but competitive record, enters as a determined challenger, making their fight a pivotal moment for both athletes in a division where recent results have been inconsistent.
