Ellis Barboza faces Prajanchai at ONE Fight Night 28, while UFC returns to the UK with Edwards vs Della Maddalena.

Ellis Badr Barboza, a promising 24-year-old strawweight fighter from the UK, is gearing up for a monumental clash against the reigning ONE strawweight Muay Thai world champion, Prajanchai PK Saenchai. This highly anticipated bout is set to take place at ONE Fight Night 28 on February 7, 2025, at the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
