Ben Askren vs. Luis Santos rematch to headline ONE Championship card in November

One of the most anticipated matchups in ONE Championship history is coming in two months.

Ben Askren will defend his welterweight title against Luis Santos in a main event rematch at ONE: Pride of Lions on Nov. 13 in Singapore, officials from the Asian promotion confirmed with MMA Fighting on Tuesday night. The Las Vegas Review-Journal was the first to report the news.

Askren and Santos fought in April and the bout ended in bizarre fashion. Santos, the Brazilian underdog, was winning in the first round and avoiding Askren's takedown attempts.
