PFP PRIME FIGHT PROMOTIONS SETS NIJMEGEN ABLaze: SIX TITLE FIGHTS, A STAR-STUDDED LINE-UP AND A COMEBACK FULL OF CHARACTER!
NIJMEGEN – Saturday 17 October 2026 was an evening where passion, fighting spirit and perseverance came together. Prime Fight Promotions (PFP) pulled out all the stops with no fewer than six title fights and proved once again just how spectacular the sport of kickboxing can be. With the main event between Dani Regter and Jordy Cornelissen and Lonneke Sterken’s impressive comeback, the audience were treated to a martial arts evening that was absolutely well worth the effort.
Six title fights, six times with everything on the line
Prime Fight Promotions had put together a particularly strong programme. Two C-class title fights, two B-class title fights and two A-class title fights formed the ingredients of an evening centred around the championship belts.
The beauty of this format lay in the combination of up-and-coming talent and experienced fighters. For some, this evening marked an important step towards the top, whilst others sought to further cement their place within the world of kickboxing.
A title fight is never just any old match. It is the moment when months of preparation, discipline and sacrifice come together. As soon as the bell rings, the only thing that counts is what a fighter can demonstrate in the ring.
Dani vs Jordy
Dani Regter versus Jordy Cornelissen: the main event with high stakes
One of the absolute highlights of the event was the main event between Dani Regter and Jordy Cornelissen.
A clash that perfectly matched the spirit of the evening: ambition, fighting spirit and the will to prove oneself at the highest level.
There was a lot at stake for both fighters. Not only sporting honour, but also the chance to make a strong mark in the A-class.
Matches like this give an event extra prestige. Two fighters facing each other with the same goal: to leave the ring feeling that they have given their all.
Lonneke Sterken
Lonneke Sterken: a comeback that commands respect
Perhaps one of the most impressive stories of the evening was the return of Lonneke Sterken.
After a long period of rehabilitation, during which she had to work hard on her recovery, she was finally back where her heart lies: in the ring.
A prolonged absence is a gruelling ordeal for any fighter. Not only physically, but mentally too. The road back requires patience, character and an enormous amount of perseverance.
But Lonneke showed why you should never underestimate a true fighter.
With an exceptionally strong performance, she made an impressive comeback. Her display radiated determination and showed that her hunger for the sport is still very much alive.
Her comeback was more than just a return to the ring. It was proof that a true fighter’s mentality does not disappear when the going gets tough.
For Knockoutnieuws, this was without doubt one of the stories that gave this edition extra significance.
Prime Fight Promotions proves that kickboxing is alive and well
What made this edition of Prime Fight Promotions so appealing was the versatility of the programme.
Six title bouts spread across three weight classes demonstrate that the organisation not only focuses on established names, but also offers opportunities to talented fighters who are building their futures.
After all, the sport of kickboxing isn’t solely about famous champions. It’s also about young fighters who dream of a title, sportspeople who want to surpass themselves time and time again, and athletes who want to come back stronger after setbacks.
It is precisely these stories that give an event its character.
An evening that leaves you wanting more
On 17 October 2026, Prime Fight Promotions staged an event that showcased the quality, ambition and character present within kickboxing and boxing.
From the six title fights to the main event between Dani Regter and Jordy Cornelissen: the programme offered plenty of reasons to make the trip to Nijmegen.
But amidst all the championship ambitions, it was above all Lonneke Sterken’s comeback that demonstrated just how special this sport can be.
For titles can be won and lost, but the courage to step back into the ring after a difficult period deserves at least as much respect.
With this edition, Prime Fight Promotions has once again demonstrated that building a strong combat sports platform means more than just organising matches. It’s about creating opportunities, nurturing talent and giving fighters a stage on which their stories come to life.
Knockoutnieuws looks back on an impressive evening of combat sports in Nijmegen. An evening full of ambition, character and passion. An evening that proves why kickboxing and boxing continue to captivate so many people.
