Jake "The One" Peacock has become one of ONE Championship's most recognizable figures with his wide-brimmed cowboy hat, calm swagger, and signature finger-gun gesture. The British-Canadian dynamo will face three-division Lumpinee Stadium World Champion Suakim Sor Jor Tongprajin at ONE 173 on November 16 in Tokyo. Born in London and raised in Canada, Peacock transformed from a "big city boy" to a country gentleman after meeting his wife. They now live on an acreage south of Calgary with 10 chickens, four dogs, three cats, three goats, and a sheep. The 32-year-old grows his own vegetables, hunts for meat, and maintains the land with the same discipline he brings to his Muay Thai career. His cowboy persona was initially a marketing move to stand out, representing Alberta's "Wild West" culture in the Far East.

Tragically, she passed away during a training session. At just 25 years old, Chenari's life was cut short, leaving a profound void in the hearts of those who knew her. Chenari had achieved remarkable success in her athletic career, notably winning a silver medal at the prestigious 2022 World Championship held in Abu Dhabi. Her dedication and talent were evident to all who watched her compete.

The main event of ONE Friday Fights 130 will pit two hungry warriors with something to prove when Nontachai Jitmuangnon meets Soner “Golden Boy” Sen in a bantamweight Muay Thai showdown.

It airs live this Friday, October 24, in Asia primetime from Bangkok, Thailand.

For Nontachai – a teammate of Thai megastar Rodtang “The Iron Man” Jitmuangnon – this bout marks an important step in his comeback journey.

The 26-year-old striker is looking to rebuild momentum after tasting defeat for the first time under the ONE Championship banner and has dropped to the bantamweight division with a clear mission in mind.

He said:

Get ready for an electrifying showdown! Former bantamweight champion Nong-O Hama is charging into battle with his knockout mindset fully intact, even as he prepares to face the seemingly indestructible force of nature that is Rodtang Jitmuangnon. At 38, the seasoned Thai warrior knows he's up against Rodtang's legendary chin, a challenge like no other. But with years of experience in exploiting opponents' weaknesses, Nong-O is brimming with confidence!

The stage is set for an epic clash at ONE 173 on Sunday, November 16, at the iconic Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan. Nong-O is on a quest for two-division glory, taking on his 28-year-old compatriot, who lost his flyweight title in November 2024 due to a weight mishap. Rodtang's resilience is the stuff of legends, with over 300 professional fights under his belt.

His iron jaw has become mythical, enduring blows that would flatten others, all while he keeps charging forward with relentless pressure. This Thai superstar laughs in the face of danger, creating an aura of invincibility in the ONE Championship ring. But Nong-O sees beyond the brawler image. He knows Rodtang's true power lies not just in his chin or strength, but in the brilliant tactical mind driving his attacks. Rodtang's 80-second demolition of Takeru Segawa at ONE 172 was a masterclass in technical precision, defying his aggressive reputation. "Rodtang is a durable fighter.

He is tough. Some might view him [simply] as an aggressive fighter. For me, Rodtang has a really high fight IQ, and that is intimidating. I see him as an intelligent boxer in terms of [improvising]," Nong-O said. "His most powerful weapon is his fists. Those nice fists can give people knockouts. He has great weapons, and he can bring the roar out of the audience." Get ready for a battle that promises to be nothing short of spectacular!

Get ready for an electrifying showdown! Thai sensation Numsurin Chor Ketwina has spent his entire life silencing the skeptics, and on Sunday, November 16, he's set to step into the Circle for the ultimate chance to defy the odds and claim the most monumental victory of his career!

At 30 years old, Numsurin is gearing up to face off against the legendary 10-time Muay Thai World Champion Nadaka in an epic battle for the inaugural ONE Atomweight Muay Thai World Championship at ONE 173: Superbon vs. Noiri, live from the iconic Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan. Standing in his way is the formidable Japanese star, one of the rare non-Thai fighters to have clinched titles from Rajadamnern Stadium, Lumpinee Stadium, WBC, and WMC. Both warriors are at the pinnacle of "the art of eight limbs," but their journeys couldn't be more different.

Nadaka was a prodigy from the start, while Numsurin fought tooth and nail through years of obscurity. But everything changed when Numsurin joined ONE Friday Fights, where the Tded99 representative unleashed his explosive style and devastating power, going an undefeated 5-0! This incredible streak led to a high-stakes clash with top contender Songchainoi Kiatsongrit at ONE Friday Fights 122 in August. The buzz was that the victor would earn the right to challenge Nadaka for the coveted gold. Get ready for a night of heart-pounding action!

Wow, what a night! Dagenham's very own Emma Davison just rocked the Muay Thai world, clinching the GB British Muay Thai Championship in a heart-stopping, one-handed triumph at Victory 15! The crowd was on its feet as Davison, despite a painful elbow injury in the first round against the formidable Yasmin Nazary, fought valiantly with just one arm. She dazzled everyone, securing the national title with a spectacular win on points!

"I felt the pain, but I just powered through," exclaimed an exhilarated Davison, now a sensation in Edinburgh. "The cheering was insane; it fueled me to push past the limits!" Her trainer and fiancé, Pawel Zakrzewski of the Edinburgh Combat Project, beamed with pride, saying, "Emma's display of heart was just awe-inspiring. Battling through with one arm against such a tough opponent and coming out on top? That's not just skill; that's pure guts and glory!"

Tipping the scales at 53.5 kg, this fight wasn't just a highlight of the night—it was a defining moment in Davison's skyrocketing career. From a newbie just two and a half years ago to a national champion, her journey has been nothing short of spectacular. With the GB British crown now in her possession, Emma and her team are already setting their sights on defending the title and eyeing international challenges. The future is bright and oh, so exciting!
