ONE: ‘Immortal Triumph’ is set for the Phu Tho Indoor Stadium in Ho Chi Minh City on September 6th. Vietnamese American atomweight Bi Nugyen will be hoping to make it a triumphant homecoming when she faces Puja Tomar in a Muay Thai bout.
Nguyen is a former reality TV star who has competed twice for ONE Championship in MMA bouts. But she also has a background in Muay Thai and has fought for Lion Fight.
Tomar is also a veteran of several MMA fights on ONE Championship cards. However before that she was a multiple time wushu champion in her native India so this promises to be a fascinating clash of styles.
As previously announced the event will be headlined by a Muay Thai title fight between bantamweight champion Nong-O Gaiyanghadao and challenger Brice Delval. In the co-main event reigning Lumpinee 147lbs champion Rafi Bohic faces Saemapetch Fairtex.
This will be the first time in history that ONE Championship has put on a card without any MMA bouts on it. Due to regulatory issues in Vietnam the event will consist exclusively of kickboxing and Muay Thai bouts.
