- ONE will return to Malaysia this weekend with two fight cards, the second of which will air on Amazon’s streaming service
- Double-header features four title fights, including bantamweight MMA clash between KO artists John Lineker and Fabricio Andrade
ONE Championship is back with another double header this weekend, this time in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
It will be the martial arts promotion’s first visit to the country, one of its best-established markets, since before the pandemic, and it has assembled two exciting events to celebrate the occasion.
The first, ONE 162, is set for Friday night at 7pm local time, and will be headlined by a strawweight kickboxing title fight between China’s Zhang Peimian and Canada’s Jon Di Bella.
The second, ONE on Prime Video 3, will go down at 8am the following morning to accommodate viewers in the coveted United States market. It will feature three title fights.
In the main event, John Lineker will attempt to defend his bantamweight MMA belt against his fellow Brazilian Fabricio Andrade. In the co-main event, kickboxing champ Regian Eersel will take on Thailand’s Sinsamut Klinmee for the vacant lightweight Muay Thai title. And before that, Kade Ruotolo and Uali Kurzhev will vie for the vacant lightweight submission grappling belt.
Here are four storylines to watch ahead of the two events in Kuala Lumpur.
