Shamil Gasanov vs. Aaron Canarte official for ONE Fight Night 24

An intriguing featherweight MMA tilt goes down at ONE Fight Night 24 on Prime Video when Shamil Gasanov squares off against Aaron Canarte.

This three-round duel takes place live in U.S. primetime from the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on August 2.

Gasanov, the current #5-ranked featherweight MMA contender, made headlines when he put forth a stellar performance in his October 2022 promotion debut. There, he submitted Kim Jae Woong with a rear-naked choke in the first round.

This emphatic victory earned him a seat in the division’s top five rankings.

He suffered a heartbreaking loss at the hands of former ONE World Title challenger Garry Tonon in his second appearance. But “Cobra” managed to quickly turn things around this past January.

With the desire to re-enter the winner’s circle, the Russian leaned on his grappling to prevail over Oh Ho Taek. He beat him by unanimous decision.

Now, he looks to move up the ladder by turning in another dominant victory. But he has to defeat a foe who’s hungry to make a statement in ONE.

Aaron Canarte aims to accomplish breakout moment at Shamil Gasanov’s expense

Shamil Gasanov appears to be the favorite in the encounter. But Aaron Canarte seeks to flip the script and claim his first win under the ONE Championship banner.

The Ecuadorian standout joined ONE in 2023 as an undefeated mixed martial artist with a flawless 10-0 record.

However, “Tommy Gun” tasted his first career defeat in July of the same year, succumbing to a 41-second knockout against Akbar Abdullaev.

Now, Canarte embarks on a path to redemption, looking to prove his mettle against a highly touted opponent such as Gasanov.
