Fresh off a victory over a living Muay Thai legend, Suablack Tor. Pran49 will now face an emerging young talent from Colombia.
The 29-year-old from Thailand will strap on the 4-ounce gloves in a three-round flyweight Muay Thai fight against Johan Estupinan on November 7 at ONE Fight Night 37 at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok.
In September, Suablack scored his first win under Muay Thai rules since April 2024 as he defeated Seksan Or. Kwanmuang by unanimous decision.
The victory put some much-needed wind behind his sails. Leading up to that fight, he dropped three losses in a row under Muay Thai rules.
This time, however, he’s up against a flashy youngster looking to climb closer to the top of the division. Estupinan is part of the new wave of entertainment Muay Thai fighters who favor flashy maneuvers over traditional attacks.
Before suffering his first loss in ONE to Japanese fighter Taiki Naito in June, Estupinan stitched together five consecutive wins — one against fellow ONE Friday Fights contract winner Johan Ghazali of Malaysia.
Estupinan was well on his way to becoming ONE’s newest star, but Naito proved her wasn’t yet ready for the climb to the top of the mountain.
Although Suablack’s name isn’t tied to a top-five spot in ONE’s flyweight rankings, he could be just the man to get Estupinan closer to the elite.
The flyweight division is one of the promotion’s deepest, with Rodtang Jitmuangnon (1), Superlek Kiatmoo9 (2), Nong-O Hama (3), Kongthoranee Sor. Sommai (4), and Jaosuayai Mor. Krungthepthonburi (5) all sitting in the top five.
In November at ONE 173, Rodtang and Nong-O will fight for the division’s vacant title, so when the winner moves up to fill that spot, it may leave a void in the number-five spot for either Suablack or Estupinan to enter the rankings.
