Di Bella, Nadaka Vs. Masdor: Two Massive World Title Showdowns Set For ONE SAMURAI 4 – ONE Championship"},"content":{"rendered":"

ONE SAMURAI 4<\/a> arrives at the iconic Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan, on Saturday, October 17, bringing a pair of World Title fights to what is already one of the most anticipated cards of the year.
Reigning ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Champion \u201cThe Kicking Machine\u201d Superlek<\/a> will defend his 26 pounds of gold against reigning ONE Strawweight Kickboxing World Champion Jonathan Di Bella<\/a> in a blockbuster cross-division showdown. Also on the card, reigning ONE Atomweight Muay Thai World Champion Nadaka<\/a> puts his crown on the line against Malaysia\u2019s surging finishing specialist Rifdean \u201cMagic Boy\u201d Masdor<\/a>.
Rooted in the honor and discipline of the Bushido spirit, these high-stakes World Championship showdowns join the previously announced ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Title defense featuring reigning king Jonathan \u201cThe General\u201d Haggerty<\/a> against former titleholder Hiroki Akimoto<\/a>.
The occasion is further elevated by the prestigious ONE Championship Hall of Fame induction of Interim ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Champion Takeru \u201cNatural Born Krusher\u201d Segawa<\/a>.
After spending the past two years competing in the bantamweight ranks, \u201cThe Kicking Machine\u201d is finally coming home. Once he settles unfinished business against Abdulla \u201cSmash Boy\u201d Dayakaev<\/a> at The Inner Circle 25<\/a> on Friday, August 7, Superlek will shift his full focus back to the division he has long ruled.
The Thai icon\u2019s reign at flyweight kickboxing remains defined by supreme technical brilliance, most notably showcased in his remarkable five-round masterclass over Japanese superstar Takeru Segawa at ONE 165<\/a>. That iconic defense cemented his standing as one of the most complete strikers on the planet, with 139 career victories setting a lofty benchmark for anyone daring to challenge his crown.
Looking to usurp his throne is Di Bella, who steps up in weight after effectively clearing out his own division. The Italian-Canadian technician carries a near-pristine 16-1 record, having captured interim gold against former two-sport, two-division king Sam-A Gaiyanghadao<\/a> at ONE 172<\/a> before unifying the belts by avenging the only loss of his career against ONE Strawweight Muay Thai World Champion Prajanchai PongSuphan PK <\/a>at ONE Fight Night 36<\/a>.
Most recently, Di Bella turned back highly touted contender \u201cFighting Rooster\u201d Zhang Peimian<\/a> at The Inner Circle 22<\/a> this past July to solidify his status as the undisputed ruler of the strawweight kickboxing division. With nothing much left to prove at 115 pounds, the slick technician now pursues the long-cherished dream of challenging the Thai icon in a historic super-fight.
For Superlek, the matchup is a prime opportunity to prove he remains the premier flyweight striker on the planet. A victory over a fellow World Champion would assert his superiority over the strawweight king and cement his standing as a leading pound-for-pound great across multiple disciplines and weight classes.
Di Bella, meanwhile, fights to write his name into martial arts history. A victory would make him a two-division ONE World Champion, earn him a career-defining win over one of the planet\u2019s greatest striking legends, and vault him directly into the prestigious pound-for-pound conversation.
Generational talent Nadaka returns to home soil for his second ONE Atomweight Muay Thai World Title defense. The Eiwa Sports Gym product claimed the inaugural belt last November with a surgical performance against Numsurin Chor Ketwina<\/a> at ONE 173<\/a>, then reinforced his firm grip on the division by outpointing longtime rival Songchainoi Kiatsongrit<\/a> across five highly technical rounds at ONE SAMURAI 1<\/a> this past April.
The 25-year-old virtuoso enters the bout riding an astounding 41-bout winning streak. Known for his blinding speed, southpaw precision, and defensive mastery, Nadaka has established himself as an untouchable force and earned a reputation as one of the most technically gifted Muay Thai practitioners of the modern era.
Looking to halt that legendary run is arguably Malaysia\u2019s most dynamic knockout threat. The 23-year-old Masdor has been nearly flawless under the ONE banner, posting a 7-1 record driven by five consecutive victories, a staggering 71 percent finish rate, and an average bout duration of just four minutes and thirty seconds.
\u201cMagic Boy\u201d punctuated his spectacular run with a dramatic first-round finish of Javad Mozafari<\/a> at ONE Friday Fights 159<\/a> in June. That career-defining victory earned him a life-changing US$100,000 contract and a coveted spot on the global roster. Now, he stands just one major upset away from career immortality.
For Nadaka, the stakes are sky-high. Defending in front of a passionate Tokyo crowd, the reigning king carries the chance to extend his legendary winning streak, turn back another top-tier contender, and further demonstrate his absolute dominance over the atomweight Muay Thai division.
Conversely, Rifdean carries the opportunity of a lifetime. Handing Nadaka his first defeat in over seven years and claiming the ONE Atomweight Muay Thai World Title would make the Malaysian standout only the second ONE World Champion in his country\u2019s history, following in the footsteps of newly crowned Interim ONE Strawweight Muay Thai World Champion Aliff Sor Dechapan<\/a>.
