Joshua Perreira Vs. Antonio Cesar, Lee Seung Cheol Vs. Karen Ghazaryan MMA Bouts Added To ONE Fight Night 48
Unbeaten runs and impressive winning streaks will be at stake in October’s U.S. primetime show.
Two more exciting MMA bouts have been added to ONE Fight Night 48, featuring explosive fighters Joshua "Flyin Hawaiian" Perreira and Antonio "The Flash" Cesar, as well as South Korea's Lee "The Flash" Seung Cheol taking on Armenia's Karen Ghazaryan. All three fights will be broadcast live in U.S. primetime on Prime Video on Friday, October 2, at the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Perreira, a 29-year-old Hawaiian-born fighter, has a perfect 6-0 record and is known for his versatility in the octagon, being equally comfortable on the feet and on the ground. He recently showcased his striking prowess by stopping Gilbert Nakatani with a 38-second spinning backfist knockout earlier this year. Perreira's MMA journey has had its share of challenges, including a TKO loss in his debut that was later overturned to a no contest and a knee injury that required ACL surgery.
He initially faced Lito "Thunder Kid" Adiwang at ONE Fight Night 45, but Cesar stepped in for that bout, setting up the upcoming showdown.
Cesar, born in Manaus, Brazil, has a nine-fight winning streak and an overall MMA record of 14-2. He trains under Fight Academy and Associação Maquiné. Cesar delivered a dominant performance against Adiwang, securing a unanimous decision victory and putting a stamp on the flyweight division. He made a strong impact on short notice, earning a US$100,000 contract from ONE Championship following his impressive win.
On the other hand, Lee Seung Cheol, a 27-year-old South Korean fighter, boasts an unbeaten promotional record of 6-0 inside the ONE Championship. He trains at DK Gym and holds an overall MMA record of 13-1. After winning four straight fights on ONE Friday Fights, Lee earned a lucrative US$100,000 contract with the world's largest martial arts organization. He has continued his impressive winning streak with victories over Fabio Henrique and Bokang "Little Giant" Masunyane.
Facing Lee in the strawweight matchup is Karen Ghazaryan, a 25-year-old explosive striker from Armenia. Representing Shahmuradyan Fight Club, Ghazaryan has a record of 5-1, with every one of her wins coming by finish. Her lone promotional setback occurred in her debut against Japan's Hiroba Minowa. However, she quickly bounced back, demolishing Hisashi Ezaki via TKO in her next fight. Now, Ghazaryan aims to continue her winning streak and defeat the South Korean in their upcoming bout.
