PBP ONE Fight Night 11: Eersel vs. Menshikov, Fri. 6/9, 8 PM ET/5 PM PT PBP Discussion Thread

[Gio]

Dominant two-sport king Regian Eersel looks to successfully defend his ONE Lightweight Muay Thai World Title and score his 10th promotional victory in the main event. But standing in his way is his most dangerous challenger to date, Dmitry Menshikov, who has knocked out most of his opponents and hasn’t lost in years.

In the co-main event, ONE Lightweight Submission Grappling World Champion Kade Ruotolo hopes to keep his perfect black belt record intact and settle his heated rivalry with Europe’s greatest BJJ practitioner today, Tommy Langaker.

The card also features the highly anticipated returns of pound-for-pound great Superbon Singha Mawynn, modern-day Dutch kickboxing legend Nieky Holzken, British superstar Amber Kitchen, and heavyweight striking behemoths Rade Opacic and Guto Inocente, all of whom are on a quest for redemption. ONE Fight Night 11, broadcasts live in U.S. primetime on Friday, June 9!

[PurpleStorm]

Thanks for the thread gio. You rock. Enjoy the fights everyone. ONE on Prime - heck yeah!

 

[BoxerMaurits]

All the best to my countryman Regian Eersel who’s fighting in the main event of the evening.
He’s riding an insane 21 fight unbeaten streak



In front of him though is former GLORY-kickboxer Dmitry Menshikov, who’s a freaking unit of a fighter and will make his ONE-debut for the title right off the bat.
May the best man win

 

[Kryptt]

Looking forward to t'night's Card!

 

[GreenGorilla]

There is gonna be a HW fight in Lumpinee, that doesn't happen too often I bet.

 

[Feniamin]

If anyone is interested Freymanov is the rare representative of Western European minorities among Russian mma fighters in big promotions (he said in interview that he has German roots).

 

[BoxerMaurits]

I made this event preview-post with my Dutch combat sports Instagram-page.
I advise you to use the translate function on IG



A hell of a card, especially for striking fans!

Regian Eersel vs Dmitry Menshikov, Superbon Banchamek vs Tayfun Özcan, Rade Opačić vs Guto Inocente and Nieky Holzken vs Arian Sadiković.

Also a fun grappling match (which I noticed I really enjoy to watch at this high level) between the talented Kade Ruotolo and Tommy Langaker, and more good MMA-fights.

Enjoy the action guys

One has been more entertaining than the UFC recently, mainly because of the Muay Thai fights. Surprised this hasn't caught on in the U.S. yet.

If anyone is interested Freymanov is the rare representative of Western European minorities among Russian mma fighters in big promotions (he said in interview that he has German roots).

Fedor was born in Ukraine, Dennis Siver born in Russia and Jeff Monson born in America.

 

[Feniamin]

Fedor was born in Ukraine, Dennis Siver born in Russia and Jeff Monson born in America.

I think there is multiple mma fighters who was born in Moscow, capital of Russia/USSR yet they belong to some minority -- Sherbatov, Rubin (both Jewish), Sadykhov (Azeri), Roman Wehbe (I think he is half-Lebanese/half-Russian and lives in UK, but info about place of birth is from Tapology so might be wrong). Kinda funny that a lot or maybe even majority mma fighters from capital belongs to some minorities.

 

[Grevor]

Ilya is must watch just bleed tv.

 

[don't ask]

GIVE ME MY FIIIIIIIIIIGHTS!

I don't want to work for another hour!

 

[SakurabasEar]

 

[chiefwiggum]
