Bantamweight Muay Thai heavy hitters Felipe Lobo and Nabil Anane set to lock horns at ONE Fight Night 24
Another can't-miss match-up has been added to the stacked ONE Fight Night 24: Brooks vs Balart on Prime Video spectacle this coming August 2 at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Rising star Nabile Anane has agreed to step in for Ferrari Fairtex and take on third-ranked bantamweight Muay Thai contender and former world title challenger Felipe Lobo.
The hard-hitting Lobo is no stranger to the world's largest martial arts organization, where he compiled a 3-2 record thus far.
As his nickname suggests, 'Demolition Man' is capable of bringing destruction with his flaming fists of fury.
While the Brazilian fell short in his bid to dethrone bantamweight Muay Thai king Jonathan Haggerty last February, his lethal power was in full display when he knocked down the champion in the first round.
Now, Lobo is eager to put his name back in the race by humbling a streaking youngster who's been disrupting the loaded 145-pound Muay Thai ranks.
Enter Nabil Anane, the 20-year-old phenom who's on a three-fight winning streak against some feared veterans.
After his baptism of fire against Superlek Kiatmoo9 in his ONE debut last year, Anane proved he's the real deal with impressive victories over Nakrob Fairtex, Muangthai PK Saenchai, and most recently, Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai.
The Team Mehdi Zatout athlete can catapult himself into the top five if he can add the dangerous Lobo to his growing list of victims.
