Zebaztian Kadestam, Georgiy Kichigin to headline ‘ONE: Reign of Valor’ in Yangon

ONE Championship has just announced the main event of “ONE: Reign of Valor”, which is set for the Thuwunna Indoor Stadium on March 8, 2019. Reigning ONE Welterweight World Champion Zebaztian “The Bandit” Kadestam of Sweden will make the first defense of his World Title against Georgiy “Knight” Kichigin of Kazakhstan.

Zebaztian Kadestam vs Georgiy Kichigin

Kadestam captured the vacant ONE Welterweight World Championship with a stunning fifth-round knockout of previously unbeaten American Tyler McGuire last November. “The Bandit” took the welterweight throne by showcasing his dynamic striking skills, and now he looks to make his first ONE World Title defense against the veteran Kichigin.

Kichigin is a grappling specialist who hails from Almaty, Kazakhstan. He has amassed a stellar 20-5 professional mixed martial arts record, of which 16 victories have come by submission. “Knight” is currently riding an impressive 14-bout win streak, having not lost a match since November 2014. Now, he makes his way to ONE Championship to challenge for the promotion’s welterweight world title.

“ONE: Reign of Valor”

Former ONE Bantamweight World Title challenger Toni “Dynamite” Tauru is making his return to the ONE Championship cage, following a short break from competition. The Finnish athlete, who is the Cage Warriors Bantamweight Champion, has been competing in ONE Championship since July 2015. Eight of his 11 career victories have come by submission, proving his craftiness on the mat.

Gary “Saint Lion” Mangat of Williams Lake, British Columbia, Canada is making his promotional debut after having competed in SFL and Brave Combat Federation. He is a well-rounded striker and grappler, and is a 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu product. A winner of his last three bouts, he steps into the ONE cage and looks to extend his win streak against Tauru on the global stage for martial arts.

Bozhena Antoniyar grew up in Loikaw, the capital city of Myanmar’s Kayah State. She began training in martial arts at the age of 16, and ultimately became a two-time National Boxing Champion. In February 2018, she made her ONE Championship debut and set a record for the fastest finish in ONE women’s history with a 24-second technical knockout victory over Shwe Sin.

Stepping up to face Antoniyar is Malaysia’s Audreylaura “Ice Comet” Boniface. Boniface trains out of Sabah’s renowned Borneo Tribal Squad under veteran coach AJ “Pyro” Lias Mansor. A Taekwondo black belt, the Malaysian contender seeks her first victory in the ONE Championship cage against Antoniyar.

The Philippines’ Jomary “The Zamboanginian Fighter” Torres is looking to get 2019 off to a hot start when she faces promotional newcomer Lin “Fighting Sister” Heqin, 25, of China.

After kicking off her ONE Championship career with three straight victories, Torres stumbled in 2018, dropping her last two contests. Training under head coach and veteran mixed martial artist Rene Catalan at Catalan Fighting System, she seeks to return to her winning ways this year. But in order to do that, she will have to get past Heqin.

Heqin is currently on a five-bout win streak. She possesses incredible power in her strikes and has registered multiple knockouts in her mixed martial arts career. She aims to make a statement in her ONE Championship debut by taking out Torres.

Making his professional mixed martial arts debut is Tial Thang, who squares off with Cambodian Kun Khmer practitioner Rin Saroth, a former KWC 3 Featherweight Tournament Finalist with a 110-22 record in Kun Khmer. Saroth made his ONE Championship debut in 2015 and has since posted victories over Mission Ali and Mario Satya Wirawan. Tial and Saroth will face each other in a 68-kilogram catch weight bout.

Also from Myanmar, rising star Phoe “Bushido” Thaw returns to action to face “The Iceman” Yohan Mulia Legowo of Indonesia. A Lethwei practitioner, the Burmese contender burst onto the scene in impressive fashion.

Thaw won his first six mixed martial arts contests, five of which by knockout in the first round. In October 2018, he suffered the first setback of his career and now, he is looking to get back on track with a win over a veteran martial artist.

Legowo is a pioneer of Indonesia’s mixed martial arts scene, having competed extensively in a local promotion before making his way to the global stage of ONE Championship. He aims to prove that his veteran experience will reign supreme against one of Myanmar’s favorite athletes.

Additional bouts at “ONE: Reign of Valor” will be announced at a later date.

Kazakhstan’s Georgiy Kichigin to challenge Sweden’s Zebaztian Kadestam in Yangon

Reigning ONE Welterweight World Champion Zebaztian “The Bandit” Kadestam, 28, of Sweden had his face-off with Georgiy “Knight” Kichigin, 28, of Kazakhstan during the official “ONE: Reign of Valor” open workout at the Transcend Fitness Yangon in Yangon, Myanmar on March 5, 2019. During the event, the Swedish mixed martial artist shared his thoughts on his Kazakh rival.

Zebaztian Kadestam vs Georgiy Kichigin

Featuring nine mixed martial arts matches and five kickboxing matches, “ONE: Reign of Valor” is the first ONE Championship event in 2019 to take place in Myanmar. In the main event, Kichigin will challenge Kadestam, who is defending his ONE Welterweight World Championship belt for the first time.

“I’m beyond honored and excited to be defending my ONE Welterweight World Championship in Yangon on March 8th,” Kadestam stated. “This will be my first World Title defense in ONE, and as the saying goes, you aren’t a champion until you have defended your belt. I am fully focused on proving that I am a true champion and that I deserve to have this prestigious belt around my waist.”

“I know that Georgiy will be a very tough challenger,” Kadestam continued. “He has great momentum now and has beaten some very talented opponents. But I have prepared hard.”

“I have trained well for this title defense,” the reigning ONE Welterweight World Champion added. “In my mind, this is the biggest fight of my career. I will do everything that I can to remain the ONE Welterweight World Champion.”

The “ONE: Reign of Valor” fight night will take place at the iconic Thuwunna Indoor Stadium in Yangon on March 8, 2019. This is the fifth ONE Championship event in 2019.

Chatri Sityodtong and Victor Cui founded ONE Fighting Championship on July 14, 2011. It was renamed ONE Championship in January 2015.
