Two more fights have been added to the ONE: ‘X’ card. In the bantamweight division Shoko Sato will face Yusup Saadulaev at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on March 26th.
Saadulaev (20-6-1) is an Asian MMA veteran who fought for Deep and made his ONE Championship debut a decade ago. Sato (32-14-2) is a former Shooto bantamweight champion but both men are currently unranked.
An all Japanese strawweight fight has also been added to the card. Ryuto Sawada (14-7-1) will take on Senzo Ikeda (13-6-1) with ONE Championship matchmakes seemingly more willing to throw in fighters of the same nationality these days.
