Fights of the Week: Jan 20, 2025

Happy Monday fight fans! I hope you all enjoyed UFC 311 because I know I did. We have 3 big events this week and a handful of matchups that I know I’ll be tuning in for. We’ll get to see some top athletes compete in a variety of rule sets as well. Let’s look at what’s in store

ONE Championship 170 starts at 9:30 pm Pacific on Thursday, 1/23; 12:30 am Eastern on Friday 1/24 at the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand

Tawanchai PK Saenchai v Superbon: Superbon will attempt to claim another featherweight belt this Thursday (or Friday depending on where you’re located) as the kickboxing world champion will be fighting Tawanchai PK Saenchai for the featherweight muay thai belt. Both of these men have stellar resumes, and I’m excited to see how this one plays out.

PFL Road to Dubai Championship Series starts at 7:30 am Pacific/10:30 am Eastern on Saturday, January 25 at the Coca-Cola Arean in Dubai, UAE

Nurmagomedov v Hughes: We’ll get to see the 3rd title fight featuring a Dagestani in 2 weeks when Usman Nurmagomedov, younger brother to Umar and cousin of Khabib, defends his lightweight belt against contender Paul Hughes.

BKFC Knucklemania V starts at 5:00 pm Pacific/8:00 pm Eastern on Saturday, January 25 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philidelphia, Pennsylvania

Alvarez v Stephens: Eddie Alvarez and Jeremy Stephens both had electric careers in the UFC. This Saturday, we’ll get to see these 2 try to climb the ranks for a shot at the welterweight bare-knuckle belt
