ONE Fight Night 48 adds Erdogan vs. Elliott in MMA and Lessei vs. Guest in Muay Thai for October.
This article was generated with AI assistance and reviewed by our editorial team.
ONE Championship has added an MMA bout between Erdogan and Elliott, along with a Muay Thai bout between Lessei and Guest, to the lineup for ONE Fight Night 48 in October.
Both fights slot into what ONE Championship is positioning as a U.S. primetime card, part of the promotion's continued push to grow its audience among American fight fans. The Erdogan-Elliott pairing brings two mixed martial artists together on the same night that Lessei and Guest square off in a straight Muay Thai contest, giving the card a split identity between the cage and the traditional striking ruleset ONE has built its brand on.
What This Addition Means for ONE Fight Night 48
Adding an MMA clash and a Muay Thai firefight to the same card is standard operating procedure for ONE Championship, which regularly blends its disciplines, MMA, Muay Thai, kickboxing and submission grappling, on a single fight night rather than running separate shows. Booking both bouts for a card already being marketed for U.S. primetime signals ONE wants action across styles to hold a broader audience through the broadcast rather than leaning on one discipline to carry the night.
Betting Angle
Sportsbooks have not yet posted lines for either bout, and with no confirmed records, rankings or recent form attached to Erdogan, Elliott, Lessei or Guest at this stage, bettors are best served waiting for official fighter bios and opening odds before ONE Fight Night 48 draws closer. Once ONE Championship releases full fight-week material, expect clearer markets to form around both the MMA and Muay Thai bouts.
