The World’s Largest Martial Arts Organization Returns for a High-Stakes Event
The world’s largest martial arts organization is set to deliver another unforgettable night of action with its penultimate Prime Video event of 2025. ONE Fight Night 37: Kryklia vs. Agdeve will take place on Friday, November 7, and will be broadcast live in U.S. primetime. This nine-bout card promises to be one of the most exciting events of the year, featuring the crowning of an inaugural ONE World Champion and the emergence of new contenders across multiple combat sports disciplines.
Here are five of the biggest storylines that fans should be watching for:
#1 The First-Ever ONE Heavyweight Kickboxing World Champion Will Be Crowned
The main event of ONE Fight Night 37 is set to be a historic showdown as two of the most formidable fighters in the sport clash for the first-ever ONE Heavyweight Kickboxing World Title. Roman Kryklia, a two-sport and two-division ONE World Champion, will face off against undefeated Turkish striker Samet “The King” Agdeve in a five-round battle.
Kryklia has built a reputation as one of the most feared strikers in the world through his dominance in ONE Championship. He currently holds the ONE Light Heavyweight Kickboxing and Heavyweight Muay Thai World Titles and has also claimed the silver belt in the 2022 Heavyweight Kickboxing World Grand Prix. With a record of 7-0 in ONE and a 15-fight winning streak, the 34-year-old Ukrainian powerhouse is looking to add a third title to his collection.
Agdeve, on the other hand, enters the promotion with an unbeaten record of 17 fights. The 21-year-old has stopped 12 opponents before the final bell and has already made a name for himself by conquering the SENSHI Heavyweight Grand Prix. If he can pull off an upset, he could become the first-ever heavyweight kickboxing champion in ONE history.
#2 Pivotal Battles With Ranking Implications
In the co-main event, two explosive strikers will go head-to-head in a battle that could significantly impact their rankings in the featherweight Muay Thai division. Nico “King of the North” Carrillo and Luke “The Chef” Lessei will face off, with the winner potentially moving up the pecking order.
Carrillo has been on a roll, securing four straight finishes at bantamweight and defeating notable names like Nong-O Hama and Saemapetch Fairtex. His high-volume striking has earned him a loyal fanbase. Lessei, meanwhile, is looking to make a statement after a recent win over Cody Jerome and is determined to reclaim his spot in the top five.
Another key matchup sees #4-ranked Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon take on #5-ranked Abdulla “Smash Boy” Dayakaev. Both fighters have shown immense talent, with Rambolek winning four straight and Dayakaev making a name for himself with a lightning-fast finish.
#3 Undefeated Stars Under The Spotlight
Two undefeated stars will be under the spotlight in high-stakes MMA battles that could change the landscape of their respective divisions. Elbek Alyshov, an undefeated submission specialist, will face Carlo “The Bull” Bumina-ang in a bantamweight fight. Alyshov’s grappling skills have proven nearly unstoppable, but Bumina-ang brings a well-rounded skill set that could pose a challenge.
Willie “White Lion” van Rooyen, a South African sensation, makes his promotional debut against Avazbek “Ninzya” Kholmirzaev. Van Rooyen comes into the fight with a perfect 7-0 record, while Kholmirzaev has a strong finishing rate and is eager to prove himself.
#4 Flyweights Seek Fresh Starts
Two more flyweight MMA matchups will take place on the card. Lito “Thunder Kid” Adiwang, who has spent years at strawweight, believes that flyweight is where he truly belongs. He will face Mauro “Dinamita” Mastromarini, who is also making a weight adjustment. Both fighters are looking to bounce back from recent setbacks and find success at their natural weights.
In another matchup, Gilbert Nakatani will face Eko Roni Saputra. Both fighters are looking to shake off recent losses and rediscover their form.
#5 Flyweight Muay Thai Stars Could Steal The Show
The flyweight Muay Thai division will feature two potential show-stealers. Taiki “Silent Sniper” Naito will face Nakrob Fairtex in a short-notice replacement match. Naito is looking to continue his winning streak, while Fairtex is desperate to regain his spot in the top five.
In another standout matchup, Suablack Tor Pran49 will face Johan Estupinan. Suablack is looking to rebuild his momentum after a rough patch, while Estupinan is eager to bounce back after losing his unbeaten streak to Naito.
