Alexis Nicolas ready to take advantage of his golden opportunity against Regian Eersel
Regian Eersel goes into his latest world title defense riding an incredible 22-fight win streak that dates back to 2016. Determined to bring an end to that streak is a 25-year-old French star who will step on martial arts' biggest stage for the second time at ONE Fight Night 21.
Growing up in some of the roughest neighborhoods in Paris, 'Barboza' started kickboxing when he was 14 years old. A decade later, he had amassed a perfect 22-0 and an ISKA world championship. That earned him a spot on the ONE Championship roster, where he made the most of his promotional debut, dominating Magomed Magomedov en route to a unanimous decision victory.
Can Alexis Nicolas do what no man has been able to do for nearly a decade and dethrone 'The Immortal'?
