ONE Championship has added the final piece to its ONE 166 puzzle, with 11 fights now on the card for the March 1 event in Qatar.

Among the latest additions is a strawweight bout pitting Jeremy Miado against Keito Yamakita, with both men looking to get their careers back on track after recent losses.

Yamakita (8-1) was beaten for the first time in his career at ONE 165, but was taken down by Bokang Masunyane in Tokyo.

Miado, meanwhile, has lost his past two encounters. The Filipino (10-6) made his ONE Championship debut in 2017 and has beaten top strawweights like Dejdamrong Sor Amnuaysirichoke and Lito Adiwang.

The other addition to the card is a Muay Thai bout in the bantamweight division, where former title challenger Han Zihao has been matched with Shinji Suzuki.

Zihao was handed a shot at the bantamweight Muay Thai title on his ONE Championship debut in 2019, but was stopped by Nong-O Gaiyanghadao and has only managed to win three of his eight fights for the promotion.
