For fans from Russia, the most anticipated fight on the card is the fight between Natalia Dyachkova and the Italian Lena Knocker in the ONE strawweight (up to 56.7 kg) according to the rules of Muay Thai.
Lena Knocker of Tiger Muay Thai has a combined record of 13-6 in kickboxing and muay thai. But the more experienced Karelian Lynx Dyachkova, who now represents the Team Mehdi Zatout room, arrives with a record of 27:4.
Natalya Dyachkova made her successful debut in the ONE Championship in April this year, beating Thai athlete Dokmaipa Fairtex by knockout in the first round.

She is one of the leading athletes according to major Muay Thai organizations – World Muaythai Organization (W MO) and World Boxing Council Muaythai (WBC Muaythai).
Three more Russians will perform in the ONE Friday Fights 19 card under MMA, Muay Thai and kickboxing rules.
