Nadaka's path to ONE Championship has been nothing short of remarkable, and the Japanese warrior has made the most of his opportunity to dazzle on the grandest stage of combat sports since.
The Eiwa Sports Gym representative has his biggest opportunity yet when he challenges Thai standout Numsurin Chor Ketwina for the inaugural ONE atomweight Muay Thai world title at ONE 173: Superbon vs. Noiri.
Ahead of his historic world title opportunity inside Tokyo's Ariake Arena on Sunday, November 16, ONE Championship released a feature video on its official YouTube channel (@ONEChampionship) chronicling Nadaka's incredible journey to the global stage of the organization.

"I think I'll actually make history. And I think all the people who love martial arts will be [talking] about me for the rest of my career and going forward.
