ONE Championship

The world’s greatest Muay Thai and MMA fighters are gearing up for battle at next week, but there has been a significant change atop the bill.

Israel’s was originally scheduled to challenge for the ONE Women’s Atomweight Muay Thai World Title, but a recent injury has forced her to withdraw from the main event battle.

Now, the pivotal flyweight Muay Thai clash between #5-ranked contender and 23-year-old phenom will serve as the headline attraction of ONE Fight Night 32, which broadcasts live in U.S. primetime from Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium on Friday, June 6.

Cohen was originally scheduled to challenge Rodrigues for the gold this past March, but she was also sidelined with an injury.

The 24-year-old recovered and was preparing hard at Fairtex Training Center in Pattaya, Thailand, with the hope of getting redemption for her teammate and making history as Israel’s first ONE World Champion, but she was bit by the injury bug once more.

For now, fans will have to wait a little bit longer to see Cohen and the Brazilian queen throw down for the ONE Women’s Atomweight Muay Thai World Title.

In the meantime, the spotlight will shine brightly on a crucial matchup in the flyweight Muay Thai division, and the winner will take a massive step closer to a ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title opportunity.

Nakrob, the division’s #5-ranked contender, is looking to build momentum toward the vacant belt and prove he is ready to carry the 26 pounds of gold.

But Jaosuayai is determined to dazzle in his U.S. primetime debut. The Thai is riding a four-bout winning streak, and he is coming off a highlight-reel knockout of former #2-ranked contender at ONE Friday Fights 100 this past March, where he earned a six-figure contract to join ONE’s global roster.
