All fighters are good to go for this Friday’s ONE FC 10: Champions & Warriors event.
Jake Butler vs. James Kouame was supposed to take place at 205-lbs, but it appears both fighters have agreed to turn it into a catchweight contest after falling short of the limit.
Kotetsu Boku vs. Vuyisile Colossa is set to serve as the event’s headliner following an unfortunate knee injury suffered by Andrew Leone a day ago. ONE FC opted to scratch the Kojima-Leone match-up altogether.

Yang is unbeaten in his MMA career thus far, and Fodor will be the South Korean’s toughest opponent to date.
Bruno Pucci faces Bashir Ahmad in the main card portion. Ahmad is a familiar face among ONE FC faithfuls, having competed at ONE FC 8: Kings & Champions. A former world champion, Pucci is set to make his promotional debut, bringing a 2-0 record to the ONE FC cage.
