Watch The ONE Fight Night 25: Nicolas Vs. Eersel II weighing and fluid testing

The world's largest combat sports organization returns to US primetime this Friday, October 4th with ONE Fight Night 25: Nicolas vs. Eersel II on Prime Video, but there is one final obligation that the event's athletes must fulfill, before they can get into the ring.

All 22 contestants must pass their hydration tests and gain weight to ensure they are fit and ready to perform at the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Fans can watch the official ONE Fight Night 25 Weigh-Ins & Hydration Tests streaming live on Thursday, October 3rd at 6:00 a.m. ET/3:00 a.m. PT. Just click on the video below.

A massive rematch is at the top of the list as Alexis “Barboza” Nicolas defends his ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Championship against former defending champion and Muay Thai king of the division, Regian “The Immortal” Eersel.

In April, Nicolas defeated his Surinamese rival via unanimous decision to capture the coveted belt and maintain his undefeated record. The victory ended Eersel's 22-fight winning streak, but that only left “The Immortal” hungry for redemption.

Meanwhile, the Frenchman is determined to prove to both fans and critics that his high-risk victory was no fluke and he wants to reaffirm his position as the best lightweight kickboxer in the world.

Previously, Kongthoranee Sor Sommai meets “Samingpri” Tagir Khalilov in a Muay Thai flyweight tournament that could have a big impact on the rankings.

After compiling an impressive 8-1 record during his time with ONE Friday Fights, Kongthoranee received a six-figure contract to compete on the global roster. However, in his last fight he lost a hard-fought decision to two-sport ONE world champion Superlek Kiatmoo9.

Conversely, Khalilov has proven his class with victories over elite rivals such as Yodlekpet Or Atchariya and Black Panther. However, after suffering defeat in their last meeting, the Russian needs a win to stay within touching distance of the top of the top-flight division.

There's plenty more to watch in the star-studded lineup, including John “Hands of Stone” Lineker's Muay Thai return against Alexey Balyko and the crucial strawweight MMA clash between No. 2-ranked Bokang “Little Giant” Masunyane 5th place Mansur Malachiev.

Fans can also look forward to seeing popular heroes like Sinsamut “Aquaman” Klinmee, Ayaka “Zombie” Miura, Johan “Panda Kick” Estupinan and many more.

Check out the full card below for ONE Fight Night 25: Nicolas vs. Eersel II, which begins this Friday, October 4th at 8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. PT.
