ONE Fight Night 22 is set for Bangkok on May 4th and two fights have already been confirmed for this card. In the atomweight division Noelle Grandjean has been matched with Chihiro Sawada.
There has been an influx of Japanese fighters into the promotion since a broadcast deal was signed with U-Next. Sawada (7-0-1) made her debut at ONE Fight Night 20 last month and beat Jihin Radzuan by decision.
The rankings have not been updated in the aftermath of that fight but Radzuan was #5. Meanwhile Grandjean (5-1) is coming off a decision win over Victória Souza on the same card.

Top contenders
Meanwhile Sinsamut Klinmee has been booked to take on Dmitry Menshikov in a lightweight Muay Thai fight between two top contenders. The Thai has already fought for the title twice.
Both men have losses to reigning champion Regian Eersel on their records. But both are coming off back to back wins and a third victory could leave either man in pole position for another shot at the champion.
