Kuala lumpur: ONE Fight Night 3: Lineker v Andrade will guarantee plenty of action for martial arts fans around the world when it goes down on Saturday at the Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur.

Thailand's fan base should tune in, as several fighters from the country will showcase their skills on the nine-bout card.

Whether fighting for a ONE world championship or making their promotional debut, the athletes from Thailand will make ONE Fight Night 3 an unmissable event.

The morning's co-main event sees Thai sensation Sinsamut Klinmee take on lightweight kickboxing king Regian Eersel for the inaugural ONE lightweight Muay Thai world title.

Sinsamut has scored knockouts in both of his visits to the ONE circle so far, and his vast striking skill set could see him claim gold if he can work his way past Eersel.

Sitthichai v Boutasaa

On the main card, Thai striking legend Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong battles rising star Mohammed Boutasaa in a featherweight kickboxing matchup.

Sitthichai holds wins against the likes of ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Tawanchai PK Saenchai and Tayfun Ozcan, and will look to slow his rival's hype train and remain in the world title picture with a highlight-reel finish.

On the lead card, Aussie-Thai dynamo Danial Williams returns to the circle to face Jeremy Miado in a strawweight MMA battle.

Williams has been on a dominant streak lately, with two early knockouts in his three victories in ONE.

Now he goes head-to-head with Miado, who holds a 100 percent finishing rate inside the circle. The result could be crucial for both men's quest for divisional gold.

Kicking off Saturday's event will be French-Thai powerhouse Noelle Grandjean, who makes her promotional debut against America's Lea Bivins.

The atomweight star will be keen to highlight her grappling and stand-up skills against Bivens, who is known for her tenacious ground game.

AIS Play will show the event live from 7pm on Saturday while Thai Rath TV will air a delay at 10.30pm.
