Carlo Bumina-ang To Make U.S. Primetime Debut Against Asa Ten Pow In MMA Match At ONE Fight Night 24
Carlo Bumina-ang is the latest product from ONE's weekly series ONE Friday Fights who will make his U.S. primetime debut at ONE Fight Night 24: Brooks vs. Balart on Aug. 2.
The unbeaten Filipino phenom previously secured a six-figure ONE Championship contract in May, and he is now booked to face striking ace Asa “The American Ninja” Ten Pow in a bantamweight MMA clash inside the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Boasting a perfect 6-0 record in his professional career, Bumina-ang is excited to face the best of the best and prove himself on the global roster.
But Ten Pow is no stranger to the global fan base, and this time, he will showcase his all-around game for the first time.
'The American Ninja' is a seasoned striker with back-to-back wins before he dives into MMA for this showdown with Bumina-ang, and he is eager to show more areas in his skill sets.
While both men are powerful strikers with knockout potential, this battle could play out either way. And if Bumina-ang wins, he’ll score a massive statement in the bantamweight MMA division, while Ten Pow could mark himself out as a major threat in a second sport.
Danielle Kelly set for first-ever title defense vs. Mayssa Bastos
Meanwhile, in the same card, ONE atomweight submission grappling queen Danielle Kelly is also set to mark her first title defense against Mayssa Bastos.
Arguably considered as the two of the best female grapplers in the world, Kelly and Bastos will go head-to-head in a 10-minute-submission-only match in the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
As the new fan favorite in the world's largest martial arts organization, Kelly was an underdog before the Silver Fox BJJ athlete showed impressive skills and grit in a showdown against her old tormentor Jessa Khan to become the inaugural queen.
But Bastos is also a true wizard off her back and an expert back-taker, which leaves no doubt that this clash of styles will be a barnburner for as long as it lasts.
ONE Fight Night 24 will air live in US primetime free for those with a Prime Video subscription in the United States and Canada.
