Kouyate Faces Bravo, Suablack Meets Estupinan at ONE Fight Night 50

Two Muay Thai bouts have been added to ONE Fight Night 50, which takes place Friday, December 18, at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok. Bampara Kouyate will face Ricardo Bravo at featherweight, and Suablack Tor Pran49 will meet Jordan "Panda Kick" Estupinan at flyweight.

Kouyate returns

Kouyate, a French-Malian striker who worked as a model before fighting, is 31, stands six feet two inches and has a 36-3 career record. He represents Venum Training Camp and Team Mehdi Zatout. His credentials include the WMC European Muay Thai Championship and the French National Muay Thai Championship, and he owns TKO wins over Luke Lessei and Jo Nattawut in ONE.

He was scheduled to return at ONE Fight Night 44 earlier this year, but a training camp injury forced him out. December 18 will be his comeback.

Bravo is a 26-year-old Argentine from Tiger Muay Thai with a 28-5 record and four ONE victories. He earned a US$100,000 main-roster contract through ONE Friday Fights in 2024. After a difficult stretch he rebounded in September with a knockout of Mohamed Younes Rabah.

Suablack against Estupinan

Suablack, 30, trains at NP Suablack. His name roughly translates to "Black Tiger." He earned a six-figure main-roster contract with four consecutive wins in the ONE Friday Fights bantamweight division and dropped to flyweight earlier this year. He is 63-24 with nine ONE victories across Muay Thai and kickboxing.

Estupinan is 24 and represents Team CSK and Team JC Fernandez. He is the twin brother of ONE fighter Johan Estupinan. In his promotional debut he beat Freddie Haggerty, the younger brother of ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion Jonathan Haggerty. Back-to-back losses followed, and in September he won a hard-fought decision over Jaosuayai Mor Krungthepthonburi. He is looking to build a winning streak heading into 2027.
