The ONE Championship is not used to preparing for international events, so I finally traveled to Japan. This time, he is stacking cards in an impressive way, preparing for a number of major matches on the weekend with an amazing double header.
First of all, we are Angela Lee (9-2). Lee, a valued talent of this organization, became an atomweight champion in short order. She lost a bid to become a strawweight champion for Xiong Jingnan in a thrilling incident that resumed in March. Now they will run again, losing weight. We can expect another explosive event between two huge talented fighters.
Fan favorite Demetrious Johnson (29-3, 1 draw) continues to present his case as one of the best living fighters after filing Yuya Wakamatsu and getting a decision on Tatsumadu Wada. And now Mighty Mouse (no, I'm still using it-fight it) encounters another kind of challenge in Danny “The King” Kingad (13-1). Kingad won six fights with a victory over Reece McLaren, Senzo Ikeda, and Johnson has conquered Wakamatsu and Wada so far. Kingad also strengthened his strike and obedience defense, but could be hit and surpassed. Nevertheless this will be fun.
Angela Lee's brother, Christian (12-3), had a problem at the age of 21, performed impressive performances and showed excellent mobility with poise and technique. But he fought against Turkey's Certified Finisher ™ Saygid Arslanaliev (8-1). He won eight victories.
We talked a bit about former Pancrase title challenger Yuya Wakamatsu (11-4), and the Korean vet Kim Dae-hwan (15-5, 1 draw) is on the card. Former UFC and world series combat fighter Yushin Okami (thanks !!) returns to middleweight with Agilan Thani (9-3).
Another Pancrase vet from Senzo Ikeda (12-7, 1 draw) wants to maintain his reputation. Violence and fun In conflict with Lito Adi King (9-2), Myanmar's Phoe Thaw has been a necessity for ONE for some time, a threat. Seriously see this. The man implements the do or die approach and uses all the tools at his disposal. He meets the Busan MAD team Chang Yun Yun (2-1), who made the most of his two appearances with a performance under the ONE banner. like this.
