In a dramatic announcement Chatri Sityodtong revealed the full fight card for both ONE: ‘Century’ events last night. In total there will be 22 fights held at the Ryōgoku Kokugikan on October 13th.
The ONE Championship CEO / Founder shared both fight cards on his Facebook page and also hinted that there would be other ‘big surprises’ announced:
Among the new bouts to be released for the cards is a Muay Thai title match. It sees newly crowned flyweight champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon make the first defence of his belt against Brazilian newcomer Walter Goncalves.
