Reigning ONE Flyweight Submission Grappling World Champion Diogo “Baby Shark” Reis and former ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Champion Petchtanong Petchfergus headline a pair of new bouts confirmed for ONE Fight Night 43: Tang vs. Gasanov on Friday, May 15, broadcasting live in U.S. primetime from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok.
In submission grappling, Reis moves up a division to face Yuki Takahashi in a high-stakes technical matchup. The 24-year-old Brazilian two-time ADCC World Champion has been nothing short of dominant since arriving in ONE. He submitted Shoya Ishiguro on debut, then captured the ONE Flyweight Submission Grappling World Title in December by defeating Daiki Yonekura. A career record of 94-9 underscores the scale of the challenge Takahashi faces in his ONE debut.
Takahashi steps onto the global stage for the first time in the most demanding circumstances possible — a reigning World Champion standing across from him. A statement performance would immediately reshape his trajectory in the division.

The second confirmed addition brings together two kickboxers with very different momentum heading into May 15. Petchtanong Petchfergus, representing Superbon Training Camp, holds a 359-57 professional record and a 3-2 mark inside ONE.
The 40-year-old former divisional champion has wins over Hiroki Akimoto and Alaverdi Ramazanov — two former World Champions. Now he carries that pedigree into a bantamweight contest against Ben “The Problem” Woolliss.
Woolliss made an electric ONE debut at ONE Fight Night 41 in March. He stopped former ONE Bantamweight MMA World Champion John Lineker via calf kick TKO. He arrives here moving down a division with a 30-6 career record, looking to prove his destructive debut was no fluke against one of the division’s most experienced fighters.
