Is the next fight the end for Ben Askren. If so, it will come against a less-than-expected opponent.
Monday, One Championship founder and CEO Chatri Sityodtong took to Facebook to announce the two co-headlining bouts for One's “Immortal Pursuit” scheduled for Nov. 24 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore. Undefeated 115-pound champion Angela Lee will main event the bill, defending her title against Japan's Mei Yamaguchi in a rematch of one of 2016's best bouts. What is garnering more attention however is Sityodtong's other announcement: One's 185-pound champion Ben Askren will face former One, Dream and Shooto champion Shinya Aoki in what is claimed to be his final MMA bout.
