ONE Fight Night 30: Nico Carrillo vs Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong prediction 

Carrillo, previously competing in the bantamweight division, has moved up to featherweight following a challenging weight cut and a first-round knockout loss to Nabil Anane in January. Reflecting on his past struggles, Carrillo admitted, “My world ended. And it won’t start again until I get back into that win column.” 

Now feeling “bigger, stronger, more powerful,” Carrillo is eager to showcase his skills against Sitthichai, a decorated striker with multiple world titles. Carrillo expressed enthusiasm about the matchup, stating, “I’m just excited to fight him. I’m excited to show that I can arrive in this new division and cause an upset.”

Sitthichai, known for his technical prowess and experience, presents a formidable challenge. Carrillo acknowledges this, noting that Sitthichai is “still top-tier level” with minimal flaws in his game. 

Given Carrillo’s renewed vigor at featherweight and his determination to return to the win column, he may have the edge in this contest. His power and aggressive style could pose significant problems for Sitthichai. However, Sitthichai’s experience and technical skill cannot be underestimated. If Carrillo can effectively impose his strength and capitalize on his power, he stands a strong chance of securing a victory.
