The 24-year-old Japanese striker dominated Numsurin Chor Ketwina for five rounds A 173. The event took place on Saturday, November 16 at the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan. The Eiwa Sports Gym representative took the Thai veteran apart with clinical accuracy. He earned a unanimous decision victory that extended his remarkable winning streak to 40 consecutive victories.
The 10-time Muay Thai World Champion entered the ONE Championship with a distinguished pedigree that few could match. His feints created openings for devastating counters throughout the match, while his combinations kept Numsurin on edge from the opening bell. Before the judges made their decision, Nadaka’s dominance made the outcome clear.
Capturing the inaugural crown represents his most prestigious achievement to date. The only non-Thai fighter to become a three-division world champion at Rajadamnern Stadium, joining the promotion’s pantheon reserved only for the truly elite. He cemented his status among the pound-for-pound best strikers in the world.
“ONE Championship gold is not only coveted among strikers, but also among MMA fighters and everyone around the world. And to be part of that elite group has made me very happy,” he said.
Kana Morimoto credits Stamp Fairtex after dominant performance
Kana Morimoto showed how she can turn pain into power in her quest for redemption. The four-time K-1 champion delivered a statement performance against one of the promotion’s most beloved athletes. She overwhelmed former three-sport queen Stamp Fairtex with relentless forward pressure and superior volume.
The 33-year-old Team Aftermath affiliate earned a unanimous decision victory in their atomweight kickboxing match. Fueled by her shortcomings against Anissa Meksen and Phetjeeja Lukjaoporongtom, she turned that heartbreak into her best performance yet.
Stamp achieved icon status in ONE Championship, holding the distinction of being the only fighter to capture world titles in the promotion’s Muay Thai, kickboxing and MMA divisions. But Kana gave the Thai megastar no room to breathe, pushing forward relentlessly as her intense pace never wavered from start to finish.
The multiple K-1 champion’s only regret was not being able to finish her opponent. Stamp’s steely determination saw her through three rounds of penalties, earning the Japanese striker’s ultimate respect despite the lopsided nature of the match.
“It was on the first lap that I started to adjust my distance and type of reach [in rhythm]and I felt like I could have knocked her out in the second and third rounds if I had the chance,” Kana said.
“Even though I had that time off and the ring was rusting, I was happy that Stamp came in in incredible condition,” she said.
