Regian Eersel Alexis Nicolas ONE Fight Night 21 14

ONE Championship kicked off the month with an explosive doubleheader this past weekend, and the global fan base is still buzzing about ONE Fight Night 21: Eersel vs. Nicolas, which aired live in U.S. primetime on Friday, April 5.

In the headline attraction, undefeated French striker Alexis Nicolas pulled off one of the most shocking upsets in recent memory.

“Barboza” stunned two-sport king Regian Eersel by unanimous decision to snap the Surinamese superstar’s 22-bout winning streak and claim his ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Championship.

And in the co-main event, Tye Ruotolo retained the ONE Welterweight Submission Grappling World Title by forcing Australian standout Izaak Michell to tap out with a slick modified rear-naked choke, which he and his twin brother later dubbed “The Ruotolotine.”
