31-year-old Colombian-American Muay Thai star Diego Paez wants to erase the sting of defeat in his ONE Championship debut, and show fans his true quality as a fighter.

Paez fought in the world's largest martial arts organization for the first time last February at ONE Fight Night 28 on Prime Video, where he lost a close three-round split decision to Filipino-American 'The One' Sean Climaco.

Now that Paez is ready to return to action in a couple of weeks' time, he wants to give fans a better representation of himself.
