ONE Fight Night 8: Superlek vs. Williams is now officially on the books after another breathtaking spectacle inside the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

ONE world champions Superlek Kiatmoo9 and Allycia Hellen Rodrigues both retained their belts after sensational outings.

Ham Seo Hee, meanwhile, likely clinched her spot as the next women’s atomweight world title challenger after a flawless performance over Itsuki Hirata.

Elsewhere, the redemption-seeking Zhang Peimian got back on the winning track, while promotional newcomer Akbar Abdullaev introduced himself big-time with a massive KO victory.

Let’s relive these amazing moments with the best pictures from ONE Fight Night 8.

The ONE flyweight kickboxing crown will stay in Thailand after Superlek made a successful first world title defense with relative ease. The short-notice replacement Danial Williams fought valiantly and even got his licks in, but ‘The Kicking Machine’ was just on a whole different level.

After practically toying with ‘Mini T’ in the first two rounds, Superlek dropped him twice in Round 3.

‘The Kicking Machine’ lived up to his nickname by dropping Danial Williams with this beautiful roundhouse kick.

In the co-main event, Allycia Hellen Rodrigues proved her victory over Stamp Fairtex was no fluke by outlasting one of the best female strikers on the planet today, Janet Todd.

After returning from an almost three-year hiatus, the proud mom-champ stormed back after a rough start and gave the ‘JT’ the toughest fight of her storied career.
