Get ready for an action-packed night of martial arts as ONE Championship has finalized the card for ONE Fight Night 43: Tang vs. Gasanov, adding three explosive new bouts to an already stacked lineup. The event, set to air live in U.S. primetime from the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, May 15, promises to deliver world-class excitement from start to finish.
Headlining the new additions is a highly anticipated flyweight Muay Thai clash between undefeated Uzbek phenom Aslamjon Ortikov and Colombia's Jordan Estupinan. These two were originally scheduled to meet at ONE Fight Night 42 last month, but Estupinan was forced to withdraw due to injury. Now, with both fighters healthy and ready, the matchup is officially back on—and it's sure to be a barnburner.
Ortikov, just 23 years old, carries a perfect 23-0 career record and an equally flawless 9-0 promotional slate. Training out of TC Muaythai and Sport Club Shakhriyor, he has already recorded four finishes inside the Circle, taking down former top-five contender Dedduanglek Torfunfarm and multiple-time Rajadamnern Stadium Muay Thai World Champion Kongthoranee Sor Sommai. His opponent, Estupinan, is also 23 and boasts a 9-1 career record (2-1 in ONE). After suffering his first professional loss to Hyu Iwata last September, the Colombian firecracker is determined to bounce back and make a statement against arguably his toughest test yet.
In the bantamweight MMA division, Indonesian Wrestling Champion Eko Roni Saputra will face Filipino fan favorite Lito Adiwang in a clash that promises fireworks. Saputra's professional debut was cut short after a tough elbow strike to the head, but he's eager to prove his grappling prowess against the explosive Adiwang, who is known for his relentless pace and knockout power. This matchup adds serious depth to the bantamweight ranks and could have major implications for the division's future.
Rounding out the new additions is a featherweight kickboxing bout between Chinese striker Luo Chao and Brazilian sensation Denis Souza Jr. Both fighters are known for their aggressive striking styles, making this a potential fight-of-the-night candidate. With three new bouts now locked in, ONE Fight Night 43 is shaping up to be an unforgettable evening of martial arts action that no fan should miss.
