In a highly anticipated matchup, Thai legend Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong will face off against Scottish superstar Nico Carrillo in a monumental Muay Thai battle at ONE Fight Night 30 on April 4, live on Prime Video.
Sitthichai vs. Nico Carrillo
This clash marks Nico Carrillo’s return to the featherweight division, a move he made following a first-round loss to Nabil Anane in a bantamweight title fight. “The King of the North” Carrillo is renowned for his devastating power and impressive knockout victories, including wins over Saemapetch Fairtex, Nong-O, and Muangthai PK Saenchai.
Sitthichai, an eight-time kickboxing and Muay Thai world champion, is currently ranked fourth in ONE’s featherweight Muay Thai division. He is motivated to secure a rematch against the current champion, Tawanchai PK Saenchai.
This fight will be a significant test for Carrillo as he seeks to make a statement in his new division and potentially challenge for the world title. With both fighters known for their exceptional skill and power, this matchup promises to be an electrifying encounter. The question remains: Can Carrillo make a successful transition and assert his dominance in the featherweight division?
