ONE Championship’s return to Manila on Nov. 10 will feature a superfight in the main event.

Lightweight champion Eduard Folayang is set to defend his ONE belt against reigning featherweight titleholder Martin Nguyen at the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines, the promotion announced Tuesday.

Folayang (18-5) won the ONE lightweight belt with a knockout win over Shinya Aoki last November, and successfully defended it against Ev Ting in April. Nguyen (9-1) recently won the 145-pound belt with a second-round stoppage over Marat Gafurov, avenging his only loss in MMA.
