ONE Championship Fight Night 9 line-up revealed with returns of Meng Bo, Halil Amir
- April 22 event in Bangkok will be headlined by a bantamweight Muay Thai title fight, as champion Nong-O defends against Jonathan Haggerty
- Meng Bo will take on Dayane Cardoso in strawweight MMA bout, with Amir up against newcomer Maurice Abevi in lightweight co-main event
ONE Championship has revealed the complete line-up for ONE Fight Night 9, slated for April 22 at Bangkok’s famed Lumpinee Stadium.
It was announced several weeks ago the card will be topped by a bantamweight Muay Thai title fight, between champion Nong-O Hama and English challenger Jonathan Haggerty.
However there were only a few other fights confirmed for the card until this week, when the promotion unveiled the complete bill.
The most notable new addition is a lightweight MMA clash between Turkey’s Halil Amir, and Maurice Abevi of Switzerland, which will serve as the card’s co-main event.
The 28-year-old Amir (8-0) will be looking to build on the momentum of a shocking second-round knockout win over Timofey Nastyukhin on his promotional debut last September, which earned him the No 4 spot in the lightweight MMA rankings.
