Emanating live in U.S. primetime from Bangkok, Thailand, the two lock horns in a ONE strawweight kickboxing world title unification showdown. Their scheduled five-round war headlines ONE Fight Night 36.

While speaking with the ONE Championship, Jonathan Di Bella said:

"He has a strong IQ in the ring. He knows how to score points and dictate the advantage of the crowd, and he knows how to dictate his own pace."

However, the 29-year-old doesn't think the feared striking machine from Thailand is one of his strongest opponents. He continued:

"He’s very, very smart, but not the strongest fighter I’ve been in there with."

Per Di Bella, the strongest fighter he's ever gone toe-to-toe with is Sam-A Gaiyanghadao. The Montreal native shared the Circle with the legendary Thai at ONE 172 this past March, emerging victorious via unanimous decision to claim the division's interim crown.

Now, he looks to swap the provisional strap for a chance to become the undisputed king of the division when he runs it back with Prajanchai at ONE Fight Night 36.
