Narantungalag Jadamba vs. Marat Gafurov title unification bout headlines ONE Championship's return to China

ONE Championship is taking a champion vs. champion match to China, as featherweight titleholder Narantungalag Jadamba is expected to meet interim champion Marat Gafurov in a title unification bout on Nov. 21 at ONE Championship 35, sources close to the promotion told MMAFighting.com.

Jadamba (10-3) is undefeated inside the ONE Championship cage. The 39-year-old defeated former champion Honorio Banario in his promotional debut, then outpointed Koji Oishi to capture the belt in Aug. 2014.

Jadamba was initially slated to defend his title against Gafurov at ONE Championship 31, however travel issues led to his removal from the card and Gafurov instead challenged Martin Nguyen for the interim strap.
