- Full live card confirmed as truncated show goes ahead despite a surge of Covid-19 cases in Singapore
- Promotion will record bouts for two pre-taped cards to be broadcast in November, before live return at 10th anniversary event on December 5
ONE Championship’s NextGen event will go ahead live on October 29 despite the recent surge of Covid-19 cases in Singapore threatening to delay the show.
The full card – which includes the semi-finals of the women’s atomweight MMA grand prix – was confirmed on Thursday, with Stamp Fairtex against Julie Mezabarba, and Itsuki Hirata battling Ritu Phogat.
Light heavyweight kickboxing champion Roman Kryklia will defend his belt against Murat Aygun in the main event, with Kirill Grishenko fighting Canadian newcomer Dustin Joynson in a heavyweight MMA bout.
The show will kick off with a light heavyweight kickboxing bout between Beybulat Isaev and Bogdan Stoica, before some strawweight MMA action between Miao Li Tao and Jeremy Miado.
The truncated live card will be preceded by a series of bouts which will be recorded and spread across two pre-taped events, to be broadcast in November.
