Watch ONE Fight Night 22: Sundell vs. Diachkova Weighing and Hydration Tests

With ONE Fight Night 22: Sundell vs. Diachkova on Prime Video coming to US primetime this Friday, May 3rd, each athlete on the card has one last hurdle to overcome to make their matchup official.

Live from Bangkok, Thailand, each competitor must first hit their marks in weigh-ins and hydration tests to ensure they are in top shape and fit to compete.

Fans can follow the proceedings live by watching the video below, starting at 6am ET/3am PT this Thursday, May 2.

The event is headlined by a huge showdown for the ONE Women’s Strawweight Muay Thai World Title.

Reigning queen Smilla “The Hurricane” Sundell has looked unstoppable in four appearances at ONE, but Russian knockout artist Natalia “Karelian Lynx” Diachkova believes she can end the teenage prodigy’s reign of terror.

Given the power and finishing instincts of both sides, fans can expect a huge success from start to finish.

In the co-main event, undefeated MMA standouts Akbar “Bakal” Abdullaev and Halil “No Mercy” Amir will face off in a pivotal featherweight battle.

Kyrgyz phenom Abdullaev hopes to keep his unblemished record and 100 percent finishing performance intact, while Turkish sensation Amir is moving down from lightweight as he looks to continue his meteoric rise on the global stage.

Further down the card, Chinese kickboxing superstar “Demon Blade” Wei Rui will make his highly anticipated ONE debut when he takes on former ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Champion Hiroki Akimoto.

Already considered one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the sport, the promotional newcomer is being thrown in at the deep end, but a win over Akimoto could earn him an immediate shot at division kingpin Jonathan “The General” Haggerty.

In lightweight Muay Thai action, Thai fan favorite Sinsamut “Aquaman” Klinmee and powerful Russian Dmitry Menshikov – both on two consecutive victories – will collide in an explosive showdown that could produce the division’s next world title challenger.
