#1 A Heated Bantamweight World Title Rematch

In the main event, former divisional kingpin John “Hands of Stone” Lineker and top-ranked contender Fabricio “Wonder Boy” Andrade collide for the vacant 26-pound ONE Bantamweight World Title.The bitter rivalry unfolded in the lead-up to ONE on Prime Video 3 last October, with both men trading barbs at one another during several interviews.

 When they cross paths inside the Circle, however, the match ended in a disappointing no contest when Andrade delivered an accidental low blow midway through the third stanza – just moments after “Hands of Stone” appeared to be almost down and out.

#2 The Best Of Submission Grappling On Display

#3 A Guaranteed Striking Fiesta

Three battles on this stacked bill will certainly warm fans up for what they can expect in the main event showdown in Bangkok — an end-to-end stand-up battle. ONE Featherweight Muay Thai World Title Tawanchai PK.Saenchai is fired up to prove that he’s the best in the business when he defends his throne versus veteran Dagestani-born fighter Jamal Yusupov in the co-main event.
