ONE Championship’s third event on Prime Video is coming together nicely.

The card, slated for October 22 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, will be headlined by a bantamweight MMA title fight between champion John Lineker and challenger Fabricio Andrade, both of Brazil. While that fight was announced some time ago, that rest of the card was a mystery until recently.

Over the last week, ONE has revealed multiple new matchups for the event in Kuala Lumpur – its first in Malaysia since before the pandemic.

Chief among the new additions is a fight between lightweight kickboxing champion Regian Eersel of the Netherlands and Sinsamut Klinmee of Thailand, which will crown the promotion’s first lightweight Muay Thai champion.

Eersel is riding four successful title defences, while Sinsamut has knocked out Nieky Holzken and Liam Nolan in his first two bouts in ONE.

The card will also feature the latest appearance from American grappling star Kade Ruotolo, who recently impressed by becoming the youngest-ever ADCC champion.

He will look to build on the momentum of a decision win over Shinya Aoki in his ONE debut when he takes Uali Kurzhev, a sambo specialist, with the promotion’s vacant lightweight submission grappling title on the line.
