Di Bella is no longer the champion of One Championship

According to the One Championship, Di Bella refused to play with Prajanchai because he was in trouble during the process of weight. This fighter cannot pass the water content in the body, which is part of the One Championship's weight -pressing test. Therefore, he decided to withdraw.

Different from international martial arts awards such as UFC, PFL or Cage Warriors, ONE Championship has much stricter regulations related to weight pressing. Commonly pressed ways such as reducing the amount of water in the body are not accepted, because the boxer must also pass the water content test.

One Championship's weight and water compensation process is strictly done, because in the past, this tournament had a scandal when a martial artist died in the process of weighting. This happened 10 years ago, but One was still tight to avoid similar incidents.

The refusal to play made Di Bella officially be One Championship stripped the Championship Buy Key Kong Strapweight. This is the title he has kept in the past 2 years. Di Bella withdrew also made Prajanchai unable to play, and missed the opportunity to win the championship.

After the retreating Bella, the One Lumpinee 58 event had only one temporary championship match in the Kickboxing format, the weight of Featherweight. In that match, Superbon Singha Mawynn won by the point against Marat Grigorian in the match that lasted 5 rounds.
