Two striking gods collide in Tokyo—this kickboxing war rewrites combat sports history.
ONE 165 takes place on January 28, 2024, at Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan. This martial arts spectacle features Superlek Kiatmoo9 defending his Flyweight Kickboxing World Championship against Takeru Segawa in the main event. The co-main event showcases Kade Ruotolo facing Tommy Langaker for the Lightweight Submission Grappling title. It marks ONE Championship’s return to Japan for the first time since 2019, broadcast live on global pay-per-view.

Production
ONE's Japanese return production values are absurdly cinematic.
Stunts
Superlek's elbows and Takeru's pressure are performance art.
Director
Chatri Sityodtong
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This marked Takeru's return from a two-year hiatus and his first fight outside K-1—Japanese fans treated it like a national sporting event.
Chatri Sityodtong personally negotiated this 'fight of the decade' for three years; Superlek later revealed he fought with a torn meniscus.
