The fight card is set for next month’s “ONE FC 10: Champions and Warriors” event, and a former Strikeforce contender has joined the lineup.
Caros Fodor (7-3), one of Strikeforce’s top lightweight contenders before the organization’s eventual demise, will meet fellow lightweight Yang Seung Ho (6-0), also known as Tommy Yang, in the event’s featured preliminary-card matchup.
ONE FC 10 takes place Sept. 13 at the 15,000-seat Istora Senayan Stadium in Jakarta, Indonesia. As with past ONE FC events, the main card is available as a paid online pay-per-view following free prelims.
Fodor was moved over to the UFC earlier this year, but he surprisingly received his walking papers after a split-decision loss to Sam Stout at UFC 157. The former Marine won his first five Strikeforce fights before a loss to Pat Healy, which preceded the Stout defeat. He now meets Ho, a South Korean who’s competed infrequently in MMA since his pro debut in 2007. However, earlier this year, he returned from a two-and-a-half-year layoff to submit Waleed Trabolse at a show in Kuwait.
Other new bouts include one from the heavyweight division as muay Thai champ Alain Ngalani (0-0) meets Egyptian boxer Mahmoud Hassan (1-1). It kicks off the event’s main card.
New preliminary-card bouts include featherweights Max Metino (0-0) vs. Long Sophy (0-0) and flyweights Almiro Barros (0-0) vs. Kian Pham (6-7).
The full ONE FC 10 card includes:
