Sage Northcutt is off the ONE on TNT Part IV card according to ESPN. The UFC veteran will be replaced by Eduard Folayang who meets Shinya Aoki for the third time.
Folayang (22-10) was originally set to face Yoshihiro Akiyama last week. But that fight fell through at the last minute and instead the 36 year old finds himself facing a familiar foe on April 28th (US time).
Aoki (46-9-0-1) is coming off a win over James Nakashima at ONE: ‘Unbreakable’. The Japanese submission specialist has won three in a row since losing his title to Christian Lee in 2019.
As previously announced former middleweight champions Aung La Nsang and Vitaly Bigdash will both face off for the third time on April 28th. This will be a non title rubber match, both men have won one of the previous two fights.
Two lightweights will be looking to rebound after the first loss of their ONE Championship careers when Lowen Tynanes meets Pieter Buist. Also on the card is a flyweight fight between Colbey Northcutt and Sovannahry Em.
In Muay Thai action former flyweight champion Jonathan Haggerty returns. He has been matched with Elias Mahmoudi, with the entire card set to be broadcast by TNT in the US.
