ONE Championship has officially announced its line up for its 100th show and My God! When I first read and seen the event I had to take a minute to Calm down, my mind just exploded with what I seen. ONE FC are not just hosting one event but TWO events in the same day, to celebrate their milestone as a promotion. Yes Two events in one day, The first will be in the morning while the second will be in the evening. A Whole day of Martial Arts, 22 total fights, 11 on each card and I haven't even said anything about the actual fights yet. so let me breakdown ONE Championship: Century for you.
Part One: The Morning Show
Where to start? Well in the Main Event of the morning show, ONE Atomweight Champion Angela Lee will defend her title against Xiong Jing Nan, who earlier on this year defeated Lee at ONE: A New Era and put a stop to Lee becoming a Double Champ, Now Xiong is looking to do the same. It's a rematch that I can't wait to see. In a double Co- Main event, The Finals of both the Flyweight and Lightweight Grand Prix will take place as The GOAT Mighty Mouse Johnson takes on Danny Kingad in the Flyweight final and Eddie Alvarez takes on Saygid Guseyn Arslanaliev. In Other Bouts, Former title Contender Janet Todd and Ekaterina Vandaryeva will meet in a Muay Thai fight. Yushin Okami will fight Agilan Thani. Sam-A- Gaiyanghado will compete in the second Muay Thai bout of the night when he takes on France's Darren Roland. Ok, Just let all that sink in first..... Now to the evening show. (deep breath)
Part Two: The Evening Show
Let's start with this, In the prelims of the evening show the first four fights are all Champion vs Champion fights, as it is a cross promotion as Shooto vs Pancrase will open the show. That sounds like an ppv to me, not prelims,ONE FC dont hold back do they?
The Final of the ONE Featherweight Kickboxing will see Six Time Kickboxing Champion Giorgio Petrosyan Face former Muay Thai turned Kickboxing sensation Samy Sana, and if you have paid close attention to this Grand Prix, This fight will bring the house down, keep your eyes on that one. Flyweight Muay Thai Champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon will defend his title for the first time against Walter Goncalves.
For the fourth time and maybe for the last time Bibano Fernandes will take on Kevin Belingon, the last time these fought, it was meant to be the final time, a rubber match for the ONE Bantamweight title. Unfortunately Belingon landed illegal elbows after Bibano landed a takedown, after Bibano lay on the ground, unable to continue, Belingon was disqualified and the belt was back in Bibanos hands, not the way he wanted it. Hopefully this time everything will go to plan and both men can close this chapter of one of the best rivalries in ONE FC history.
And in the Main event, A Super- Fight that fans have been waiting for since it was announced earlier this year. Double Champ Aung La N Sang will defend his ONE Light-Heavyweight title against ONE Heavyweight champion Brandon Vera, which will be Vera's first fight at LHW since he signed to ONE. This fight was Official when Earlier on this year Vera called out Aung La right after Aung La defeated Ken Hasegawa again at ONE: A New Era. The Promotion jumped behind the fight straight away. Vera is looking to become a Double Champ in the Promotion, While Aung La will be looking to extend his stay at top of both divsions.
Well Peeps,There you go, A breakdown of some of the big Fights that will be taken place at ONE Championship: Century.
You can't miss what will be not only the biggest event in ONE FC history but probably Martial Arts history.
And if you do miss this event, you better have an excellent excuse for it.
ONE Championship: Century will be taken place on October 13th.
