returns to Singapore on 22 May with a blockbuster main event.
Shinya
Aoki is the greatest submission grappler the sport has ever
seen. He has been on a tear with seven straight victories, but he
now faces his toughest test yet. Koji Ando has
proven to be one of the best lightweights in the world. Ando has
both the striking and grappling skills to defeat Aoki. This is a
clash that you do not want to miss! Get ready for a night of
exciting world-class mixed martial arts action as ONE Championship
goes live around the world from the Singapore Indoor Stadium.”
Shinya Aoki is the ONE Lightweight World Champion and one of the best grapplers in mixed martial arts. Aoki has one of the most diverse grappling arsenals in the sport, and has finished 25 of his 37 victories via submissions. Aoki won the ONE Lightweight World Championship by submitting Kotetsu Boku, and continued his reign by forcing Kamal Shalorus to tap out. He now faces one of his toughest tests to date as he takes on Koji Ando.
Kuat Khamitov is a Kazakhstani lightweight who has won his last six bouts. He is one of the most experienced mixed martial artists to emerge from Central Asia and has won 18 of 21 bouts. Khamitov will look to emulate the success of countryman Igor Svirid, who is the reigning ONE Middleweight World Champion.
Lowen Tynanes is an undefeated mixed martial artist hailing from Hawaii. Just 24 years of age, Tynanes has impressed in his victories over Vuyisile Colossa and Felipe Enomoto. Tynanes comes from a fighting family, and has even once competed on the same night as his father Miles. Tynanes is a ferocious competitor who is always willing to engage in back-and-forth brawls with an opponent in pursuit of the finish.
