ONE: “Full Circle” is set for the Singapore Indoor Stadium this Friday. The event is headlined by a middleweight title fight between Reinier de Ridder and Kiamrian Abbasov.

In total there will be three titles on the line with Roman Kryklia defending his light heavyweight kickboxing title against Murat Aygun and Petchmorakot Petchyindee defending his featherweight Muay Thai belt against Jamal Yusupov.

Reinier de Ridder (c) vs. Kiamrian Abbasov (For middleweight title)

Reinier de Ridder (14-0) is one of the tallest fighters in the division and a BJJ black belt. Opponents have been unable to prevent the undefeated Dutchman, who also has a background in judo, from taking them down and when he does the two division champion uses his long limbs to wrap up chokes.

Kiamrian Abbasov (23-4) comes from a Greco Roman wrestling background. But it was his striking that saved the day against James Nakashima last time out.

Kickboxing: Roman Kryklia (c) vs. Murat Aygun (For light heavyweight title)

Roman Kryklia is one of the best kickboxers in the world. He earned his ONE Championship opportunity after winning a Kunlun tournament and has won every single fight since signing.

Murat Aygun is around five inches shorter than Kryklia and tends to go the distance. That makes this a difficult matchup for the Turkish fighter who will need to do damage with his punches while avoiding the long knees of the Ukrainian.

Aung La Nsang vs. Vitaly Bigdash (Middleweight)

Aung La Nsang (27-12-0-1) had his takedown defence exposed by Reinier de Ridder but stylistically this looks like a better matchup for him. He has some solid body kicks and loves to stay in the pocket and trade strikes.

Vitaly Bigdash (11-2) likes to strike from slightly further range than his opponent and will shoot for a takedown or look to catch a kick and sweep if the opportunity presents himself. He doesn’t have much movement but likes fight off the back foot and counter strike.

Kickboxing: Enriko Kehl vs. Tayfun Ozcan (Featherweight)

Enriko Kehl has been in with the likes of Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong, Yodsaenklai Fairtex and Buakaw Por Pramuk. He was destroyed in under a round by Davit Kiria last time out and will look for a much better showing here.

Tayfun Ozcan just fell short against Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong but put on a good showing in his ONE Championship debut. He keeps a very tight guard and likes to constantly walk forwards and pressure opponents.

Fabricio Andrade vs. Jeremy Pacatiw (Bantamweight)

Fabricio Andrade (6-2) has taken the bantamweight division by storm. The Brazilian is based at Tiger Muay Thai and has an unusual but very effective striking style, hanging his hands low and feinting constantly.

Jeremy Pacatiw (11-4) fights out of Team Lakay so we know what to expect from him. He really commits to his punches and likes to throw looping right hands so hard he will unbalance himself in the process.

Kickboxing: Guto Inocente vs. Bruno Susano (Heavyweight)

Guto Inocente challenged Rico Verhoeven for the Glory heavyweight title a few years ago but came up short. The Brazilian southpaw does not look like the most technical and likes to throw haymakers and hope for the best.

Bruno Susano likes to counterstrike. He will fight off the back foot and try to keep opponents at bay by jumping in with with punches and low kicks.

Zebaztian Kadestam vs. Valmir Da Silva (Welterweight)

Zebaztian Kadestam is a Muay Thai wrecking machine who attacks with knees, elbows, kicks and punches. The key to beating the Swedish fighter is to take him down and several opponents have succeeded in doing it.

Valmir Da Silva (8-1) has been fighting on the regional scene in Brazil and has more KOs than submissions on his record. I can’t find any footage but he has been in with some decent opponents.

Muay Thai: Diandra Martin vs. Smilla Sundell (Catchweight)

Diandra Martin barely moves her feet when she fights. She likes to keep them planted and fire off hard right kicks when her opponent closes the distance.

Smilla Sundell has been living and training in Thailand mixed up the Muay Thai weapons very well. She’s strong in the clinch, dangerous with step in knees and can also use punches and push kicks to fight from medium range.

Yuri Simoes vs. Daniyal Zainalov (Middleweight)

Yuri Simoes (0-1) is a decorated BJJ black belt but had an underwhelming MMA debut. The Brazilian didn’t fight at all last year but will be looking for a much better showing second time around.

Daniyal Zainalov (7-0) has an undefeated record but his wins have not always come at the expense of good opponents. His biggest weapon is his right kick and he can throw it low or high.

Kickboxing: Jiduo Yibu vs. Daniel Puertas (Flyweight)

Jiduo Yibu is a southpaw who seems to have a very traditional Muay Thai style. The kickboxing ruleset might not suit him.

Daniel Puertas has been in with the likes of Takeru and Panpayak Jitmuangnong and is as brave as they come. He will look to stay in the pocket and trade even while taking sustained punishment and this could be a fun fight.

Rahul Raju vs. Drex Zamboanga (Lightweight)

Rahul Raju (8-6) has three ONE Championship wins and they all both came by way of rear naked choke. He is definitely more comfortable on the ground and has been either knocked out or knocked down in his last two losses.

Drex Zamboanga (9-5) has only fought twice in three years since signing for ONE Championship and has not enjoyed the same level of success as his sister. He has a fun style, stands still with his hands low and his chin high and just swings.

ONE: “Bad Blood” is set for the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Friday night (local time) and was set to be headlined by an all-Brazilian bantamweight title fight between Bibiano Fernandes and John Lineker but the former tested positive for COVID-19.

Fortunately the card already had a big co-main event and the interim heavyweight title fight between Anatoly Malykhin and Kirill Grishenko will now serve as the headliner.

Here’s my preview:

Sunoto vs. Tial Thang (Bantamweight)

Sunoto (12-7) is one of the most experienced Indonesian fighters on the ONE Championship roster. He’s fought 17 times for the promotion but has consistently come up short against medium to top tier opponents.

Tial Thang (3-1) comes from a wrestling background and will want to take Sunoto down. The Burmese born bantamweight is coming off the first defeat of his career and will be looking to bounce back with a big win here.

Thomas Narmo vs. Odie Delaney (Heavyweight)

Thomas Narmo (4-1) certainly looks the part but his ONE Championship debut did not live up to the hype. Even by heavyweight standards he is huge but the Norwegian has an awkward striking style and doesn’t appear to be much of a wrestler.

Odie Delaney (2-0) hasn’t fought since 2019 but is another huge heavyweight. The American southpaw is a four-time NCAA qualifier so no prizes for guessing where his strengths lie.

Lin Heqin vs. Bi Nguyen (Atomweight)

Lin Heqin (14-3-1) showcased some nonexistent takedown defence during the decision loss to Ritu Phogat. Her opponent comes from a Muay Thai background so stylistically this might be a better fight for the Chinese atomweight.

Bi Nguyen (6-7) is a Muay Thai fighter but lacks power, so her fights almost always go the distance. She struggles to really do damage to opponents which might help explain how she ends up getting involved in so many split decisions.

Dustin Joynson vs. Hugo Cunha (Heavyweight)

Dustin Joynson (6-1) is another heavyweight coming off a disappointing ONE Championship debut. The Canadian was unable to prevent Kirill Grishenko taking him down repeatedly.

Hugo Cunha (6-0) is a BJJ black belt who has also represented Brazil in international wrestling tournaments. The Brazilian will want to put Joynson on his back where he can put his grappling skills to use.

Dejdamrong Sor Amnuaysirichoke vs. Danial Williams (Strawweight)

Dejdamrong Sor Amnuaysirichoke (12-6) is the former strawweight champion and had a very successful career as a Muay Thai fighter. He still kicks hard but the 43 year old has been on the receiving end of some one punch KOS in the latter stages of his career.

Danial Williams (3-1) also comes from a Muay Thai background although he never enjoyed quite as much success in the sport as Dejdamrong.

Yodkaikaew Fairtex vs. Woo Sung Hoon (Flyweight)

Yodkaikaew Fairtex (7-3-1) comes from a Muay Thai background but has been an MMA fighter since 2015. He has some devastating leg kicks and is more than competent on the ground.

Woo Sung Hoon (8-2) will be making his ONE Championship debut and he hasn’t exactly been facing top tier opponents in Korea. But he is coming off a very impressive win against fellow prospect Joo Hwan Kim in which he used his right leg kicks like he was chopping down a tree.

Mei Yamaguchi vs. Jihin Radzuan (Atomweight)

Mei Yamaguchi (21-13-1) is primarily a grappler and has a limited striking game. She did land some hard right hands against Angela Lee though, dropping her a couple of times in their second title fight.

Jihin Radzuan (6-2) is a submission specialist. The Malaysian southpaw does not look particularly confident with her striking and will want to get this down as soon as possible.

Chen Rui vs. Mark Abelardo (Bantamweight)

Chen Rui (10-3) has won four out of his six ONE Championship fights. He is best known for the war with Won Il Kwon in January which is one of the best MMA fights to have taken place anywhere this year.

Mark Abelardo (20-8) has been a pro for 12 years and is coming off the best performance of his career. He finished Emilio Urrutia with a tomahawk elbow, one of the best KOs of 2021 and a clear indication that he has picked up some tricks training at the Fairtex camp in Pattaya.

Anatoly Malykhin vs. Kirill Grishenko (For interim heavyweight title)

Anatoly Malykhin (10-0) didn’t need a takedown to beat Amir Aliakbari, he used his boxing to pick apart the Iranian. The Russian does come from a wrestling background and it will be interesting to see what strategy he employs against an opponent who is four inches taller.

Kirill Grishenko (5-0) has been relentless with his takedown attempts in his two ONE Championship fights to date. He looks to be at a disadvantage in striking terms so that will surely be the strategy here.

ONE: “Only the Brave” has lost two main events to COVID-19 at the time of writing and will now be headlined by a featherweight kickboxing Grand Prix semifinal. Sittichai Sitsongpeenong faces Davit Kiria in the final fight of the night.

Kickboxing: Sittichai Sitsongpeenong vs. Davit Kiria (Featherweight Grand Prix 1/2 final)

Sittichai Sitsongpeenong is known for his lightning fast left kicks and is one of the most decorated kickboxers in the division. He holds two wins over Kiria from his GLORY kickboxing days and will be a big favorite here.

Davit Kiria marched forwards, planted his feet firmly on the ground and threw bombs in his quarterfinal win over Enriko Kehl. In his first fight with Sittichai he was stopped by a counter knee to the body while he was punching so it will be interesting to see whether he shows a similar level of aggression here.

Kickboxing: Jo Nattawut vs. Chingiz Allazov (Featherweight Grand Prix 1/2 final)

Jo Nattawut got bumped into the tournament after Marat Grigorian tested positive for COVID-19. He has an unusual background having made his name in the US, not Thailand, but stopped his last opponent with the type of overhand right more commonly seen in MMA than Muay Thai.

Chingiz Allazov was the standout performer in the quarterfinals. He rocked Samy Sana with a head kick and then finished him off with a barrage of punches and will be the favorite to win this fight.

Kim Jae Woong vs. Tang Kai (Featherweight)

Kim Jae Woong (12-4) is coming off the biggest win of his career. He knocked out Martin Nguyen in the opening round at ONE: “Revolution” back in September.

Tang Kai (13-2) has won five fights out of five for ONE Championship and is on an eight-fight winning streak. But this will be the first time that the Chinese fighter has been matched with a ranked opponent.

Lipeng Zhang vs. Ruslan Emilbek Uulu (Lightweight)

Lipeng Zhang (31-11-2) wrestled his way to victory over Eduard Folayang on his ONE Championship debut. In the past he has been more of a striker who looks to stay in the pocket and trade so that might be the strategy here.

It is not clear exactly what the background of Ruslan Emilbek Uulu (13-2) is. He has spent the majority of his career competing in China and has trained with Lipeng but appears to be an out-and-out wrestler.

Kickboxing: Rade Opacic vs. Francesko Xhaja (Heavyweight)

Rade Opacic is tall, even by heavyweight standards and will attack the body and head. A left hook to the liver is his favorite weapon but he can also do damage with straight punches, kicks and knees.

Francesko Xhaja doesn’t appear to have been fighting at a particularly high level. He keeps a high guard and likes to mix up straight punches and low kicks.

Hiroba Minowa vs. Jarred Brooks (Strawweight)

Jarred Brooks (17-2-0-1) demonstrated in his ONE Championship debut that he probably has the best wrestling in the entire division. He can take you down and keep you down and won’t waste any time in trying to do that to Minowa.

Hiroba Minowa (13-2) is also primarily a wrestler although the sport is nowhere near as established in Japan as it is in the US. He is as tough as they come but stylistically this looks like a bad matchup for the Japanese fighter.

Kickboxing: Ivan Kondratev vs Dovydas Rimkus (Featherweight Grand Prix Alternate Bout)

Ivan Kondratev knocked down Marat Grigorian in the opening round. He is a southpaw with tricky movement and good timing, he will constantly circle away and look to counter.

Dovydas Rimkus will hold his hands low and try to bait opponents before lunging in with hard punches to the head or body. He has more of a boxing style of movement than a kickboxing style and it means he can’t throw many kicks.

Tatsumitsu Wada vs. Shuo Wang (Flyweight)

Tatsumitsu Wada (23-11-2) is one of the tallest fighters in the division but almost always goes the distance. He caused Demetrious Johnson a few problems with his reach but is not afraid to shoot for takedowns.

Shuo Wang (13-5) appears to have a Sanda style and is very light on his feet and likes to attack with low kicks. He put in a superb performance against a much taller opponent on his ONE Championship debut and will look to do the same here, staying on the outside and trying to time Wada and counter.

Hiroyuki Tetsuka vs. Edson Marquez (Welterweight)

Hiroyuki Tetsuka (10-4) is emerging as a serious contender in the welterweight division. He likes to plant his feet and throw full power kicks and punches but can also take opponents down and attack with ground and pound.

Purev Otgonjargal vs. Micael de Jesus (Bantamweight)

Purev Otgonjargal (7-1) is riding a seven-fight winning streak that includes two very impressive wins for ONE Championship and ONE Super Series. He was in devastating form in his last fight and needed less than 40 seconds to finish his opponent with a left hook and some ground and pound.

Micael de Jesus (9-5) has been in with some solid opponents on the regional scene in Brazil. He doesn’t look like a top prospect but is well rounded and mixed up striking with takedowns.

ONE: “Heavy Hitters” is the promotion’s first event of 2022 and sees a live audience return for a full fight card. It marks a departure from last year when events were often broadcast on tape delay from an empty venue.

The event is set for the Singapore Indoor Stadium on January 14th but the 12 fight card has been ravaged by Covid-19. Only seven of the original fights remain intact with one rearranged at the last minute.

Here is my preview:

Elipitua Siregar vs. Senzo Ikeda (Strawweight)

Senzo Ikeda (12-6-1) was originally scheduled to face Jeremy Miado. He was a successful boxer, putting together an 8-0 record before switching to MMA where he became flyweight King of Pancrase.

Elipitua Siregar (4-1) fights out of Bali MMA and is a submission specialist. He was originally scheduled to face striking specialist Robin Catalan so this will be a very different type of challenge.

Tiffany Teo vs. Meng Bo (Strawweight)

Tiffany Teo (9-2) is nothing if not resilient. The Singaporean does not specialize in any one area but is a tough all rounder who never fades in the latter rounds.

Meng Bo (17-5) put on a striking clinic against Ritu Phogat for five minutes. But once the Indian took her down she had no answer and in Teo she faces another opponent who definitely won’t fade down the stretch.

Shuya Kamikubo vs. Troy Worthen (Bantamweight)

Shuya Kamikubo (11-1-1) hasn’t fought as frequently as he would have liked but the Japanese wrestler has a 100% winning record in his ONE Championship fights. He is an out and out wrestler who likes to take opponents down and keep them down.

Troy Worthen (7-2) also comes from a wrestling background. He won his first three ONE Championship fights comfortably but is 0-2 since stepping up in opposition to face top tier opponents.

Kim Jae Woong vs. Tang Kai (Featherweight)

Kim Jae Woong (12-4) is coming off the biggest win of his career. He knocked out Martin Nguyen in the opening round at ONE: “Revolution” in September.

Tang Kai (13-2) has won five fights out of five for ONE Championship and is on an eight fight winning streak. But this will be the first time that the Chinese fighter has been matched with a ranked opponent.

Muay Thai: Ekaterina Vandaryeva vs. Supergirl JaroonsakMuaythai (Strawweight)

Supergirl JaroonsakMuaythai is renowned for her knees. She can generate incredible force on them and look for her to repeatedly drive the tip of her knee into her opponent’s midsection.

Ekaterina Vandaryeva’s main claim to fame is a win over Joanna J?drzejczyk as an amateur although there was a lot of controversy surrounding the judging. She put on a good showing against Jackie Buntan, who beat Supergirl’s sister, last time out.

Kickboxing: Beybulat Isaev vs. Giannis Stoforidis (Light heavyweight)

ONE Championship’s light heavyweight kickboxing division is highly competitive with the champion defending his belt on this card. Beybulat Isaev is coming off back to back wins and could earn himself a title shot here.

Giannis Stoforidis has had zero success against big name opponents and will need to break that streak here. Both men have a stoppage loss to Anderson Silva on their records.

Saygid Izagakhmaev vs. James Nakashima (Welterweight)

Saygid Izagakhmaev (19-2) hails from Russia and is a protege of Khabib Nurmagomedov, he began training with the UFC fighter’s father as a child. He has the same wrestling based style and will want to obtain top position as soon as possible.

James Nakashjima (12-2) also comes from a wrestling background and is a former welterweight title challenger but has lost his last two. He wrestled at an NCAA Division 1 level at the University of Nebraska and it will be interesting to see whether that gives him an advantage over Izagakhmaev.

Xiong Jing Nan vs. Ayaka Miura (For strawweight title)

Xiong Jing Nan (16-2) will be making the sixth defence of her strawweight title. She has held the belt since 2018 and her only loss since signing for ONE Championship came in an atomweight title fight against Angela Lee.

Ayaka Miura (11-3) is a submission specialist. She is something of a one trick pony but it is an effective trick, all four of her ONE Championship wins have come courtesy of a keylock.

ONE: “Winter Warriors” Part II will be the promotion’s final card of the year. It might not be live but 2021 is getting finished with a bang with some big fights involving the top Filipino fighters.

Representing Team Lakay will be Danny Kingad, Kevin Belingon, Stephen Loman and Jhanlo Sangiao. The card will be headlined by a flyweight title eliminator with the latter facing off against Kairat Akhmetov.

Jhanlo Sangiao vs. Paul Lumihi (Bantamweight)

Expectations are high for Jhanlo Sangiao (3-0) because he is the son of Team Lakay founder Mark Sangiao. Expect him to have the wushu striking style with lots of kicks.

The teenager has been matched with Paul Lumihi (7-5) in a bantamweight bout. The Indonesian’s ONE Championship record is 0-4 and he has been stopped in his last three boouts.

Stephen Loman vs. Yusup Saadulaev (Bantamweight)

Stephen Loman (14-2) will be looking to extend a seven fight winning streak when he makes his promotional debut. The former Brave bantamweight champion has not fought all year after Team Lakay was hit by Covid-19 leading to numerous delays and cancellations.

Yusup Saadulaev (20-5-1) is a seasoned veteran with a very strong ground game. He has a solid body kick but likes to take opponents down and keep them down.

Zebaztian Kadestam vs. Murad Ramazanov (Welterweight)

Zebaztian Kadestam (12-6) is a former welterweight champion. He comes from a Muay Thai background and is very dangerous with his kicks and knees but wrestling is not his strong point.

Coming off back to back losses Kadestam has been handed a tricky looking assignment against Murad Ramazanov (10-0). The undefeated Dagestani will want to put the former champion on his back.

Vitaly Bigdash vs. Fan Rong (Catchweight)

Vitally Bigdash (10-2) held the middleweight title from 2015 to 2017. But he has not fought in three years and has seen seven different ONE Championship bouts fall through so it is difficult to know what to expect from the 37 year old after such a long spell on the sidelines.

Fan Rong (14-2) is coming off back to back ONE Championship wins. In his last fight he beat a BJJ black belt and the Chinese fighter will be looking to control the action by keeping Bigdash down.

Kevin Belingon vs. Kwon Won Il (Bantamweight)

Kevin Belingon (20-8) will be looking to snap a three fight losing streak. The Filipino hasn’t won a fight since 2018 although the losses have come at the hands of Bibiano Fernandes and John Lineker.

Kwon Won Il (10-3) is coming off back to back ONE Championship wins and will have a five inch height advantage. The Korean will look to keep Belingon at bay with his long limbs.

Danny Kingad vs. Kairat Akhmetov (Flyweight)

Danny Kingad (14-2) has only been beaten twice and the two men to defeat him are Demetrious Johnson and Adriano Moraes. He will want to keep this one standing and punish the Kazakh with kicks and overhand rights,

Kairat Akhmetov (27-2) will be looking to wrestle his way to victory. Both fighters tend to go the distance and it could come down to whether the Kazakh can secure his takedowns and avoid the striking exchanges.

ONE: “Empower” is set for the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Septemebr 3rd. The all female card is headlined by a strawweight title fight pitting champion Xiong Jing Nan against challenger Michelle Nicolini and features a promotional debut for Seo Hee Ham.

The event was originally set to take place in May but was postponed due to an increase in COVID-19 cases in Singapore. The fight card has remained intact with a couple of new bouts added.

Mei Yamaguchi vs. Julie Mezabarba (Atomweight Grand Prix alternate bout)

Mei Yamaguchi (21-12-1) is primarily a grappler but she cracked Angela Lee with some good overhand rights. Her last win was in 2019, and it was an extremely debatable decision, so it is difficult to gauge whether the 38 year old is still in her prime.

Julie Mezabarba (8-2-1) arrives as an unknown quantity. She has a black belt in kickboxing apparently but the limited fight footage available makes it look like her previous contests have been wild brawls.

Itsuki Hirata vs. Alyse Anderson (Atomweight Grand Prix 1/4 final)

Itsuki Hirata (4-0) has a background in judo and wins all her fights on the mat, either by submission or ground and pound. This promises to be by far the toughest test of her career.

Alyse Anderson (5-1) is an Invicta FC veteran who comes from a karate background but has a win by flying triangle on her record. She is three inches taller than Hirata and might look to utilize her range and make this a striking match.

Ritu Phogat vs. Meng Bo (Atomweight Grand Prix 1/4 final)

It has been a bumpy road for popular Indian Ritu Phogat (5-1). The wrestler was withdrawn from the Grand Prix and then reinstated she seldom struggles to take opponents down but can be too passive when she’s in dominant positions.

Meng Bo (17-5) has showcased some impressive striking but is struggling to average a fight every year so it’s difficult to gauge just how good the experienced Chinese fighter is. She is very patient, too patient sometimes, but has a good right cross which Phogat will want to stay well clear off.

Stamp Fairtex vs. Alyona Rassohyna (Atomweight Grand Prix 1/4 final)

Stamp Fairtex (5-1) has elite level Muay Thai and is dangerous with all eight weapons. Her loss to Alyona Rassohyna in the first fight was bizarre, the Thai tapped for no apparent reason with just seconds remaining in the final round.

Alyona Rassohyna (13-4) is an armbar specialist, it is her go to submission and she’s good at it. She got Stamp in some bad spots during the first fight but the Thai fighter was always able to slip out and escape.

Seo Hee Ham vs. Denice Zamboanga (Atomweight Grand Prix 1/4 final)

Seo Hee Ham (23-8) is riding a six fight winning streak and is the favourite for the tournament. She is a southpaw who is very happy to stay in the pocket and trade and used grounded knees to good effect during her Rizin career.

Denice Zamboanga (8-0) established herself as the #1 contender by beating the likes of Mei Yamaguchi and Jihin Radzuan. She likes to plant her feet and throw hard shots so this could turn out to be a bit of a brawl.

Xiong Jing Nan (c) vs. Michelle Nicolini (For Strawweight title)

Xiong Jing Nan (15-2) has primarily used her boxing up to this point, a boy shot took the life out of Angela Lee. But her takedown defence will need to be on point here as she deals with an opponent who only has one thing in mind.

Michelle Nicolini (6-2) has not fought since 2019 but her style is unlikely to have changed. She is a BJJ black belt who is very good on the ground but has limited striking so it is clear how this fight is likely to play out.
