ONE 165 at Arlake Arena in Tokyo, Japan, is one of the biggest events organized by ONE Championship in recent history. The event is headlined by the ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Championship fight between Superlek Kiatmuu9 and Takeru Segawa, which is the one we’re going to analyze now, sharing our top ONE FC picks along the way.
Before Betting on Superlek vs. Takeru ONE 165 Fight
Superlek Kiatmuu9 is the defending champion, and his ONE 165 odds suggest he’s going to defend his title on January 28, 2024. The reason is that the Thai kickboxer is one of the martial artists from Asia with the most impressive portfolio.
He’s the reigning ONE FC champion and was also close to winning the ONE FC title in Muay Thai, but he missed weight at the crucial moment. This guy has been on form for a while now, winning each of his last 10 fights both in Muay Thai and kickboxing.
The last time he lost a fight was in 2021 when Ilias Ennahachi beat him by unanimous decision. The last time he lost by a stoppage was in 2014. Can Takeru Segawa change that?
Takeru is making his ONE Championship debut on January 28 in the title fight. Before joining the Singapore-based MMA promotion, he was the K1 champ. His overall record is 43-3, with just one loss (by decision) since 2012.

Superlek is the legend of ONE Championship, while Takeru is coming from K1, ready to take over. The ONE 165 aren’t in his favor, but we think he’s going to win.
First of all, K1 remains the best kickboxing promotion in the world, and the fact that Takeru is a former K1 champ means that he’s got the skills needed to rule the ONE Championship’s kickboxing realm.
Secondly, Takeru is a Japanese fighter, and ONE 165 is taking place in Tokyo, where the crowd is likely to be on his side.
Pick: Takeru Segawa
