Several fights have been cancelled from the ONE Fight Night 25 event that is set for October 4 in Lumpinee Stadium.

The promotion has introduced a new protocol for fighters missing weight or failing to pass their hydration tests and this new system was heavily featured on it's debut use.

Three fights have been removed from the card due to failure from four fighters to submit hydrated samples, including the women's atomweight MMA bout between Jihin Radzuan and Ayaka Miura.

Two Muay Thai contests in Kongthoranee vs Tagir Khailov and Scotland's Amy Pirnie vs Shir Cohen have also been removed as a result.

The card's opening flyweight MMA contest will be negotiated as a catchweight between Danial Williams and Banma Duoji after Duoji passed hydration but missed weight.

Under the new rules, Mansur Malachiev and Zanzhar Zakirov will be fined 20% of their purses due to making weight and passing hydration but doing so past the initial hour window.

This money will then go towards a charity of their opponent's (Bokang Masunyane and Hiroba Minowa) choosing.

One of the few bouts that wasn't involved in any drama was the main event which features a rematch for the ONE lightweight kickboxing world championship.

Alexis Nicolas defends against former champ Regian Eersel following his shock victory over "The Immortal" earlier this year at ONE Fight Night 21.

Every other fight will go ahead as originally planned, including former bantamweight champion John Lineker's second foray into Muay Thai where he faces Alexey Balyko.
