Ben Askren will step inside the cage for the last time in November.
The ONE Championship welterweight kingpin will take on former lightweight champion Shinya Aoki at the promotion’s upcoming event in Singapore on Nov. 24, Evolve MMA founder Chatri Sityodtong announced on his Facebook page.
According to Sityodtong, this will be Askren’s last MMA fight before he becomes an executive at ONE.
Aoki (39-7, 1 no-contest) will compete at welterweight for the second time in his career, eight years after losing to Hayato Sakurai at the DREAM welterweight tournament.
