ONE: Heavy Hitters Fight Card Announced
In the main event, ONE Strawweight World Champion “The Panda” Xiong Jing Nan defends her crown against Ayaka Miura. The Japanese submission ace will try to become the first woman to dethrone the queen, but Xiong has reigned over the division since the inaugural title tilt in January of 2018.
After COVID-related safety precautions forced the match to be postponed, Roman Kryklia will finally defend his ONE Light Heavyweight Kickboxing World Championship against Murat Aygun in the evening’s co-main event.
The four additional main card bouts are split between ONE Super Series and mixed martial arts action.
In the first of two added ONE Super Series bouts, Supergirl returns to meet Ekaterina Vandareyva in the strawweight Muay Thai division. In bantamweight action, #1-ranked contender Saemapetch returns to meet Tawanchai in a pivotal battle to see who can move an inch closer to a meeting with Nong-O.
The main card opens with a strawweight mixed martial arts clash between rising stars Senzo Ikeda and Jeremy Miado. Later on the main card, the lightweight spotlight will be on the debut of Khabib Nurmagomedov’s teammate Saygid Izagakhmaev, who gets a tough draw against American James Nakashima.
The incredible main card is bolstered by an almost equal lead card slate.
#5-ranked flyweight Muay Thai contender Elias Mahmoudi defends his spot in the rankings against Walter Goncalves in the featured lead card contest. But before the bell rings for that match, Beybulat Isaev meets Giannis Stoforidis in a light heavyweight kickboxing match.
