ONE Championship weigh-in results: Superbon passes hydration with seconds to go on dramatic night
- Superbon hits the mark on his third attempt and makes weight for his featherweight kickboxing fight with Tayfun Ozcan in Bangkok, Thailand
- ONE Fight Night 11 title bouts are official, but Martine Michieletto and Nieky Holzken fail to pass hydration, and Amber Kitchen misses weight
It was a night of high drama at Thursday’s ONE Championship weigh-ins, as Superbon passed hydration with seconds to go in Bangkok, Thailand.
The former featherweight kickboxing champ hit his mark on his third attempt, and promptly made weight to make his title eliminator with Tayfun Ozcan official.
Martine Michieletto and Nieky Holzken were not so fortunate, with both failing late hydration attempts as the clock ticked down.
Ambet Kitchen passed hydration at a similarly late juncture, but was three pounds over for her strawweight Muay Thai fight with Michieletto.
She can negotiate a catchweight once Michieletto passes hydration, with the Italian set to return after the end of Thursday’s three-hour official testing window at the host Best Western Plus Wanda Grand Hotel.
The good news though is that Saturday’s two title fights remain intact.
Lightweight Muay Thai champion Regian Eersel and his challenger, Russian newcomer Dmitry Menshikov, both passed hydration and made weight on their first attempt.
Kade Ruotolo, the lightweight submission grappling champion, and his Norwegian challenger Tommy Langaker also passed with no problems.
Here’s how everything unfolded as the 20 fighters on the ONE Fight Night 11 card stepped up to the scales.
