ONE Championship’s next installment in a series of primetime showcases appears locked, loaded and ready to deliver. Three key contests provide the primary lure for ONE on Prime Video 22 this Friday at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. The 11-fight card features bouts in muay thai, kickboxing, submission grappling and mixed martial arts.
Elsewhere, bantamweight kickboxing world champion Hiroki Akimoto returns to the fray after a prolonged hiatus to take on debuting Chinese prospect Wei Rui in an encounter that could move either fighter closer to title contention with a win. In another pivotal clash, 24-year-old lightweight MMA phenom Maurice Abevi squares off against former Kunlun Fight welterweight champion Lipeng Zhang. Meanwhile, surging Chinese sensation Yong Hu carries the momentum of a three-fight winning streak into a pivotal flyweight MMA matchup against No. 4-ranked contender Reece McLaren.
