While a trilogy fight is no more, a fascinating rematch now headlines Wednesday’s ONE Championship event for the light heavyweight title.
Promotional officials confirmed to MMA Fighting that Vitaly Bigdash is out of the ONE on TNT 4 main event against champion Aung La N Sang due to COVID-19 protocols. With Bigdash’s scratch, Aung La N Sang now defends his title against middleweight titleholder Reinier de Ridder—who captured the title with a first-round submission win over N Sang in October. ESPN was first to report the change.
The loss to de Ridder snapped N Sang’s seven-fight winning streak.
