In One Championship’s return to Jakarta on Nov. 17, two welterweights will collide to vie for the belt vacated by former champion Ben Askren, who is heading to the Ultimate Fighting Championship in a blockbuster “trade” for the UFC’s Demetrious Johnson.
In its official press release, the promotion announced the entire lineup for the event. Competing for the vacant welterweight strap will be former challenger Zebaztian Kadestam (10-4) against the surging Tyler McGuire (11-0).
Kadestam bounced back after losing by knockout to Askren last year and is coming off a knockout win over Agilan Thani this past July.
