ONE Championship has finalized its lineup for its return to America. ONE 168: Denver goes down from the Ball Arena on Friday, September 6. The card features 12 exciting contests across MMA, Muay Thai, and submission grappling.
Jonathan Haggerty will defend the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Championship against flyweight kickboxing king Superlek Kiatmoo9 in the evening’s main event. The two are not unfamiliar with each other, as Superlek holds a 2018 TKO victory over “The General.” But so much has changed over the past six years.
Haggerty has looked incredible at bantamweight, and his renewed energy and power have sent his foes to their demise time after time. Meanwhile, Superlek has begun cultivating an aura of invincibility with his extraordinary run at flyweight. This may be the meeting between the immovable object and the irresistible force.

Mikey Musumeci will come up three weight divisions to challenge Kade Ruotolo for the ONE Lightweight Submission Grappling World Championship. The two outstanding submission aces are not just competing for gold. The match could decide who is the pound-for-pound best in the world today.
Adrian Lee will become the first member of his family to compete in a professional MMA contest stateside when he battles Nico Cornejo in a lightweight scrap. The talented teen got his first pro win in his ONE debut against Antonio Mammerella. He will look to add his next when over a crafty Coloradan who wants to make a name for himself off the young gun.
Muay Thai will get plenty of love on the card with all-action athletes Johan Estupinan, Johan Ghazali, Liam Harrison, and Seksan Or Kwanmuang on the docket. Also, ONE 168 will feature the Muay Thai debut of John Lineker against Asa Ten Pow. There will not be a dull moment when any of those athletes compete.
The card features an additional five MMA bouts on the lineup. Contenders will try to stake their claim and use the platform to elevate their position within their respective divisions. Denver, Colorado, will be in for a treat as the leaves begin to change.
