ONE Championship returns to U.S. primetime with another stacked martial arts showcase. On Friday, June 6, ONE Fight Night 32 emanates from Bangkok’s iconic Lumpinee Stadium on Prime Video. With Nakrob Fairtex taking on Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi in the main event, the card is loaded with compelling matchups throughout.

Beyond the main event showdown at ONE Fight Night 32, several pivotal contests will shape divisional landscapes and career trajectories. The flyweight Muay Thai division takes center stage with multiple showcase bouts featuring rising stars and seasoned veterans. Here are three matches that promise to deliver fireworks and set the tone for an unforgettable evening.

ONE Fight Night 32: Aliff Sor Dechapan vs. Elmehdi El Jamari

Family honor and title aspirations collide in this strawweight Muay Thai thriller in ONE Fight Night 32. Aliff Sor Dechapan enters riding a three-bout winning streak that began with a spectacular 97-second knockout of Zakaria El Jamari in August 2024. The 21-year-old Malaysian-Thai striker has positioned himself as a legitimate contender for Prajanchai PK Saenchai‘s ONE Strawweight Muay Thai World Title. Another dominant performance could fast-track him to championship gold and cement his status as the division’s next breakout star.

Standing opposite is Elmehdi El Jamari, who carries the weight of family revenge on his shoulders heading into ONE Fight Night 32. The 27-year-old Moroccan made an impressive promotional debut with a knockout victory over Thongpoon PK Saenchai in April and now seeks to avenge his brother’s devastating loss to Aliff. El Jamari brings veteran savvy and knockout power to this grudge match, making him a dangerous spoiler for Aliff’s title ambitions. The emotional stakes and contrasting styles guarantee an explosive encounter that could steal the show.

ONE Fight Night 32: Johan Ghazali vs. Diego Paez

Two fighters seeking redemption meet in what promises to be a flyweight Muay Thai barnburner during ONE Fight Night 32. Johan Ghazali, the 18-year-old Malaysian-American sensation, looks to bounce back from his narrow loss to Johan Estupinan in January. Training under the guidance of ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion Superbon, Ghazali has evolved into one of the sport’s most exciting young talents since earning his six-figure contract at age 16. His aggressive style and highlight-reel knockouts have made him a fan favorite, and he is preparing for a statement win to regain momentum in the stacked flyweight division.

Diego Paez presents the perfect opportunity for Ghazali to showcase his growth. The 31-year-old Colombian-American veteran dropped a close split decision to Sean Climaco in February. Now fully healthy and eager to derail the Ghazali hype train, Paez brings experience and technical precision to neutralize his younger opponent’s explosive offense. This clash between youth and experience could produce fireworks as both men feel their backs are against the wall.

ONE Fight Night 32: Johan Estupinan vs. Taiki Naito

Johan Estupinan enters as the #5-ranked flyweight Muay Thai contender with an unblemished 27-0 record and five consecutive ONE victories ahead of ONE Fight Night 32. The 22-year-old Colombian has quickly established himself as one of the division’s most promising prospects, combining technical excellence with finishing ability. A victory over a seasoned veteran like Naito would solidify his top-five ranking and potentially earn him a shot at the vacant ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title.

Taiki Naito represents the ultimate test for Estupinan’s perfect record. The 29-year-old Japanese veteran currently holds the #3 spot in the flyweight kickboxing rankings but has struggled in recent Muay Thai competition, losing his last two bouts to Thai stars. After nearly a year away from competition, Naito returns hungry to prove his elite credentials remain intact. His experience advantage and technical prowess make him a live underdog capable of handing Estupinan his first career defeat and dramatically shifting the flyweight landscape.

ONE Fight Night 32 airs live on Prime Video on Friday, June 6. The action begins at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. The event is free for all Amazon Prime subscribers in the U.S. and Canada.
