Ok Rae-yoon and Christian Lee will soon have the opportunity to settle their score.

On Monday, ONE Championship revealed the complete line-up for the ONE 160 event, slated for Friday, August 26 in Singapore, and Ok and Lee will meet in the headlining slot, with the South Korean’s lightweight MMA title hanging in the balance.

Ok (16-3) and the Canadian-born American Lee (15-4) first met at ONE: Revolution last September. After five competitive rounds, Ok ended Lee’s title reign with a unanimous decision that immediately stirred up controversy – enough that it was examined by ONE’s now defunct internal review board.

All signs have pointed to a rematch ever since, with Lee telling the Post the sequel had been verbally agreed to as far back as February.

Before winning the title, Ok was riding decision wins over former UFC and Bellator lightweight king Eddie Alvarez and former ONE featherweight champ Marat Gafurov.

Lee, meanwhile, had defended the title twice before losing it, with quick stoppages of Iuri Lapicus and Timofey Nastyukhin. He won the title with a TKO of Shinya Aoki in 2019.
