Mustapha Haida vs. Arian Sadikovic and Two Other Super Fights Added to the Lead Card at ONE: WINTER WARRIORS II

ONE Championship will be ending 2021 with a bang by adding three more fights to their final showcase of the year, ONE: WINTER WARRIORS II, which premieres on Friday, 17 December, from the Singapore Indoor Stadium. 

Two thrilling ONE Super Series contests and one mixed martial arts showdown will beef up the lead card, which now totals nine explosive bouts.  

Mustapha Haida vs. Arian Sadikovic: Kickboxing bout preview

One of those additional bouts will be the ONE Super Series lightweight kickboxing showdown between Mustapha “Dynamite” Haida and Arian “Game Over” Sadikovic.  

Haida, a 33-year-old competitor from Florence, Italy, owns 22 knockouts from 40 career wins. He suffered a setback against ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Champion “The Immortal” Regian Eersel earlier this year. 

The Fight Club Firenze representative will strive for victory against debuting Sadikovic to remain in the hunt for the world title.

Fabricio Andrade vs. Li Kai Wen: MMA bout preview

Before the pair unleashes a striking masterclass, Brazilian Fabricio “Wonder Boy” Andrade will go to war with Chinese sensation “The Underdog” Li Kai Wen in a bantamweight MMA battle. 

Andrade is looking for his third win in the promotion. Achieving that goal won’t come easily because Li is a stiff competitor who hasn’t lost since 2017. Expect much action between these two warriors who are equally talented across all aspects of the all-encompassing sport. 

The fighter from Marrok Force and Nova Uniao showcased his grappling and striking repertoire by defeating Japanese veteran Shoko Sato by unanimous decision at ONE: UNBREAKABLE III in February. 

Meanwhile, the 26-year-old MMA phenom from Tianjin, China is on the prowl for his tenth victory on the global stage. Six of his most recent wins were early finishes, the most impressive of which was a ten-second knockout of Rodian “The Redeemer” Menchavez in June 2018.

Joseph Lasiri vs. Asahi Shinagawa: Muay Thai bout preview

In the night’s curtain-raiser, Italian-Moroccan Joseph “The Hurricane” Lasiri will test the mettle of newcomer Asahi Shinagawa in a ONE Super Series Muay Thai contest. 

The #3-ranked sensation from Kick and Punch Milano wants to secure the top-contender spot in the Muay Thai strawweight division. A dominant display against the Japanese superstar will be a perfect way for him to build momentum for 2022.
