#4. ONE Championship atomweight queen Janet Todd vs. Joanna Jędrzejczyk in a kickboxing bout

ONE Championship atomweight kickboxing champion Janet 'JT' Todd is a highly technical striker who operates at a very high pace. She throws everything out of the chamber and has very little wind-up in her shots. She matches her perfect technique with pressuring aggression that's difficult to handle.

Former UFC strawweight champion and Polish superstar Joanna Jędrzejczyk has a similar style. The self-proclaimed Boogeywoman was a former kickboxing and Muay Thai champion before destroying everyone in MMA.

Jędrzejczyk's similarities in stature, technical striking and pace with the ONE Championship queen are too glaring to ignore. It would be such a treat to see these two technicians slug it out in a straight kickboxing match.


#3. ONE Championship flyweight champion Adriano Moraes vs. Henry Cejudo

Of all the entries on this list, this bout is the closest to happening in real life. Henry Cejudo, the self-proclaimed 'greatest combat sports athlete of all time', has done pretty much everything to earn him that monicker.

The only thing he hasn't truly done is dominate and soundly beat his first UFC rival, the former flyweight king Demetrious 'Mighty Mouse' Johnson. As it stands, the former two-division champ is 1-1 against Johnson.

Adriano 'Mikinho' Moraes, however, did what Cejudo couldn't in two fights: finish 'Mighty Mouse'. The ONE Championship flyweight king also did it in less than two rounds. It would be interesting to see the retired Cejudo put the gloves back on, travel across the world, and fight the one man who outperformed him.
