That evening, some of the biggest names on the roster will make their highly-anticipated return, and firefights are bound to happen.
Ahead of another action-packed night, we look at what’s at stake for some of the stars competing in Singapore this Friday.
Demetrious Johnson
The top-ranked flyweight contender is fired up for his shot at redemption. And if he can outclass Adriano Moraes in all areas of their match, the 12-time Flyweight World Champion could add another prestigious belt to his trophy room.

It might not be easy, but with an opportunity for him to showcase why he is truly the best in the business on U.S prime time, fans can expect him to dish out a career-defining victory.
A win for the AMC Pankration and Evolve MMA athlete could boost his morale and perhaps kick off another lengthy reign as a divisional king.
Nong-O Gaiyanghadao
The 35-year-old Thai striking icon faces one of his toughest tests inside the Circle in the form of Brit legend Liam “Hitman” Harrison this Friday.
If he can keep things simple and hit the Leeds fighter with a variety of weapons at his disposal, a win is certainly within touching distance.
Not only will the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion seal his status as the most successful World Champion on the ONE Super Series roster.
But the triumph will help him build on his legacy as one of the finest strikers in the history of the sport.
Adriano Moraes
Adriano “Mikinho” Moraes’ win over Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson last year helped him elevate his name into the upper echelon of the sport.

If he can take out the MMA legend with another highlight-reel finish live on American primetime, he could prove that his first triumph was no fluke.
The ONE Flyweight World Champion will have to find a way past Johnson’s resilient defense and attack on August 26. And should he succeed in his mission, the Brazilian athlete would have effectively wiped out the entire division.

With another World Title defense in his mind, expect him to flourish before he moves on to his next opponent.
Rodtang Jitmuangnon
“The Iron Man” may already own the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title, but he isn’t completely satisfied. He wants the tournament’s prestigious silver belt, too.
If he can beat Savvas Michael and go on to win the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix Championship Final later this year, then he would obtain that second strap.
