ONE Fight Night 48 flyweight matchup

Overview

Joshua Perreira and Antonio Cesar are scheduled to compete in a flyweight matchup at ONE Fight Night 48, set for October 2 at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Cesar, known as ‘The Flash’, enters the bout with a nine-fight winning streak and a professional record of 14-2, following a unanimous decision victory over Lito Adiwang. A former three-time Mr. Cage Flyweight Champion, Cesar credits his discipline to his mother and his first taekwondo coach.

Ahead of the fight, Perreira detailed a strategy to use a hook to stumble Cesar against the ropes before transitioning to the ground to secure a submission. Perreira noted that a victory could elevate him into title contention and potentially lead to a bout against former champion Yuya Wakamatsu.
