ONE Championship has hosted some of the most exciting martial arts action to date, with legendary superstars facing off on the regular.
The organization’s next two events will highlight some of these stars yet again at ONE 160: Ok vs. Lee II on Friday, August 26, and ONE Fight Night 1: Moraes vs. Johnson II on Saturday, August 27—both at the Singapore Indoor Stadium
We break down three previous fights that are sure to get fans ready for all the ONE Championship action at the end of August.
Liam Harrison Defeats Muangthai PK.Saenchai In An Action-Filled Bout
Liam Harrison faced off against Muangthai “The Elbow Zombie” PK.Saenchai at ONE 156: Eersel vs. Sadikovic for a single heated round.
After both men served each other two knockdowns, “Hitman” pulled off the final finish, knocking down Muangthai for a third and final time and bringing home a $100,000 bonus at the same time.
Next, Harrison will make his return to the Circle when he takes on the great Nong-O Gaiyanghadao in a bid for the latter’s ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Championship in the co-main event of ONE Fight Night 1.
Thanh Le Knocks Out Grappling Great Garry Tonon
At ONE: LIGHTS OUT in March of this year, ONE Featherweight World Champion Thanh Le stunned the MMA world by knocking out grappling great Garry Tonon in the first round, solidifying his position as the division’s undisputed king.
After less than a minute of Le’s hammering fists, Tonon was out cold. It was Le’s fifth consecutive finish in the Circle, putting to rest any doubts about the Vietnamese-American’s capabilities.
Now, the World Champion is set to defend his title for the third time against #1-ranked Tang Kai in the co-main event of ONE 160.
Adriano Moraes Makes History By KO-ing Demetrious Johnson
In April 2021 at “ONE on TNT I,” Adriano Moraes shocked fans across the world by finishing “Mighty Mouse” with a knee to the head. It was the first time this had ever happened in Johnson’s storied career.
Knocking out a 12-time MMA World Champion and the undisputed greatest mixed martial artist of all time is an incredible feat in and of itself, but this was just another night for the seven-time ONE Flyweight World Champion in “Mikinho.”
Not to mention, the KO earned Moraes the 2021 ONE MMA Knockout of the Year and worldwide acclaim.
The two will meet for their long-awaited rematch in the main event of ONE Fight Night 1, as “Mighty Mouse” makes another attempt at Moraes’s ONE Flyweight World Championship.
