ONE Championship isn’t playing around with its “Century” event this fall.
On Sunday, ONE CEO Chatri Sityodtong announced the finalized event lineup for the promotion’s upcoming return to Tokyo on Oct. 13, a two-part event featuring a bevy of world championship fights and Grand Prix finals.
Part 1 will be headlined by Angela Lee (9-2) defending her atomweight (115-pound) title against Jingnan Xiong (14-1). This will be Lee’s return to ONE’s atomweight division after losing back-to-back fights at 125 pounds. One of those losses was to Xiong, the ONE strawweight (125-pound) champion who is now dropping down for her shot at Lee’s belt.
