Degree of difficulty appears to be on the rise for Lipeng Zhang inside One Championship.
“The Ultimate Fighter China” winner will look to keep his perfect promotional record intact when he confronts Saygid Izagakhmaev in a ONE 161 lightweight showcase on Thursday at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore. Zhang has enjoyed an undefeated run across his past six outings, going 5-0-1. He last appeared at ONE “Only the Brave,” where he buried Ruslan Emilbek Uulu with punches just 32 seconds into their Jan. 28 pairing. Izagakhmaev, meanwhile, enters the cage on the strength of a three-fight winning streak.
