Before things kick things off in Jakarta, here are three reasons why Singaporeans cannot miss ONE: DAWN OF VALOR.
Two World Title Bouts
In the main event, ONE Welterweight World Champion Zebaztian “The Bandit” Kadestam defends his World Title against top contender Kiamrian “Brazen” Abbasov.
The Swedish bruiser first captured the gold after an incredible knockout win over Tyler McGuire at ONE: WARRIOR’S DREAM in November 2018.
He successfully defended the belt by taking out highly rated Kazakh warrior Georgiy “Knight” Kichigin in March.
“The Bandit” faces arguably the toughest test of his career when he takes on Abbasov, a decorated grappler with powerful striking skills.
The co-main event will be a highly anticipated rematch between ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Champion Regian “The Immortal” Eersel and Nieky “The Natural” Holzken.
In their first meeting, Eersel out-struck his compatriot to claim the gold at ONE: ENTER THE DRAGON in May.
The World Champion will try to silence the doubters and make a statement as the best kickboxer in ONE Super Series.
Holzken has prepared for this encounter with everything he has, and fans can expect to see the Dutch kickboxing legend at his best.
Debut Of A New Evolve Athlete
Evolve Fight Team’s newest member will see action at ONE: DAWN OF VALOR.
Wrestling phenom “Johnny Boy” Nunez makes his promotional debut against former Pancrase Lightweight World Champion Kazuki Tokudome.
Nunez, who earned a spot on the world-renowned Evolve Fight Team, holds a 7-1 professional mixed martial arts record, and he is known for his wrestling and pressure.
But Tokudome is hungry for success. The Japanese contender wants to build upon his momentum after a win against Adrian “The Hunter” Pang in May.
A victory here for Nunez will not only kick off his ONE career in style, but also impress the rest of the lightweight division.
Exciting Women’s Atomweight Clash
Women’s atomweight contenders Priscilla Hertati Lumban Gaol and Bozhena “Toto” Antoniyar will battle it out on the main card of ONE: DAWN OF VALOR.
Homegrown star Lumban Gaol never fails to bring excitement whenever she competes.
The Wushu World Championship medalist is known to go for the finish, but she will face an opponent who will not hesitate to do the same.
“Toto” loves nothing more than to throw her hands. In fact, the Myanmar national boxing champion already has two wins by knockout.
Fans will have explosive action to look forward to when these two women meet inside the Circle.
The preliminary card for ONE: DAWN OF VALOR starts on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, or the ONE Super App at 6:00pm Singapore Standard Time (SGT).
Tune-in to Toggle for the main card at 9:30pm SGT.
Also, Channel 5 will cut to the live broadcast at 10:00pm SGT.
