ONE FC flyweight champion Adriano Moraes will put his title on the line for the first time in March.
Moraes, who won the belt with a submission over Geje Eustaquio in September, is set to defend the 125-pound championship against 25-year-old Japanese Asuka Mikami in the main event of ONE FC 25 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on March 13.
Moraes (12-1) has won three in a row under the ONE FC banner in 2014, all via submission. Prior to his second-round finish over Eustaquio to win the title, the Constrictor Team prospect tapped Kosuke Suzuki and Yasuhiro Urushitani.
Unbeaten in the last 14 fights, Mikami (12-2-2, 1 no-contest) makes his ONE FC debut in a championship clash with Moraes. “Riku Shibuya”, who fights for the first time outside of Japan, scored three knockouts and a pair of submissions in his current undefeated streak.
ONE FC 25 takes place at the 9,000-seat Stadium Putra in Kuala Lumpur.
