The next challenger for the ONE Lightweight Muay Thai World Title is wide open, and these two warriors are driven to put their flag in the sand and declare themselves as the rightful contender! As Liam Nolan faces of against Ali Aliev on January 12th 2024 at ONE Championship’s opening event of 2024.
Background
British Muay Thai fighter Liam Nolan has had some rough luck lately.
A longtime friend and training partner of two-sport king Jonathan Haggerty, Nolan was eager to build upon his November 2022 victory over Eddie Abasolo, but injuries, matches falling through, and a last-minute allergic reaction before his highly anticipated rematch with old foe Sinsamut Klinmee completely derailed his 2023.
But it’s a new day and, more importantly, a new year. And with a new TV deal with Sky Sports in his native England, Nolan is motivated to make his 2024 a truly memorable year – and it starts at ONE Fight Night 18!
Though multiple opponents have fallen through yet again, Ali Aliev has stepped up to the plate. The fearless Russian may be making his promotional debut on late notice, but he is determined to capitalize on this massive opportunity. And with the seemingly unstoppable Team Mehdi Zatout behind him, Aliev could pull off the upset of 2024 – and the year just started.
