#1 Ilya Freymanov Vs. Shinechagtga Zoltsetseg 

Hard-hitting finishers Ilya Freymanov and Shinechagtga Zoltsetseg are slated to throwdown in a featherweight MMA scrap that’s sure to be a barnburner for as long as it lasts. The Russian Freymanov burst onto the scene last year with a highlight-reel knockout of former two-division king Martin Nguyen, securing him the #3 spot in the divisional rankings and putting him immediately knocking on the door of a shot at featherweight king Tang Kai.

But standing in his way will be the unorthodox and uniquely entertaining Mongolian, who sports an 80 percent finishing rate in ONE and has been on the cusp of the featherweight top five for years. Given each man’s propensity for explosive violence, fans won’t want to miss a second of this pivotal matchup.

#2 Superbon Vs. Tayfun Ozcan

Before that, former ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion Superbon Singha Mawynn hopes to prove he deserves another crack at gold by taking out European kickboxing sensation Tayfun Ozcan. The Thai athlete is now just a few months removed from his crushing World Title defeat to Chingiz Allazov, but knows he could quickly regain his status as the planet’s top striker if he can storm his way back to the top of the talent-laden featherweight kickboxing division.

Ozcan, meanwhile, will be fighting tooth and nail to show that he’s a much better competitor than his current 1-2 ONE record indicates. Indeed, the 31-year-old knockout artist has only lost to legendary strikers and still has plenty of time to live up to the considerable hype he brought with him to the promotion.

#3 Jeremy Miado vs Mansur Malachiev 

Lower still on the card, Jeremy “The Jaguar” Miado will welcome rising star Mansur Malachiev to ONE in a strawweight MMA clash with a potential spot in the division’s top five on the line. Miado is one of the promotion’s most entertaining finishers and comes into this contest following an electrifying knockout of the #5-ranked Danial Williams in his last outing, maintaining his 100% finishing rate in the promotion.
