ONE: Defending Honor is set for the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Nov. 11 and a second title match was announced on Thursday with featherweight champion Marat Gafurov set to rematch Narantungalag Jadambaa.
The card will be headlined by a lightweight title fight between reigning champion Shinya Aoki and ONE Championship veteran Eduard Folayang. The Japanese fighter is set to defend his belt for the first time in over a year.
The other title fight currently on the card will pit Gafurov (14-0) and Jadambaa (12-4) together for the second time. The first match was a thrilling back-and-forth affair, which finished with a fourth-round submission win for the Russian.
Since then, Gafurov has successfully defended his title against Kazunori Yokota, maintaining his record of finishing every single ONE Championship fight with a rear-naked choke. Meanwhile, Jadambaa has claimed two more stoppage wins, at the expense of Kotetsu Boku and Eric Kelly.

The card will also feature a fight between two of ONE Championship’s top lightweights. Eddie Ng (7-4) will be looking to snap a three fight losing streak when he faces Australian veteran Adrian Pang (22-9-2), who is also looking to rebound from a recent loss.
Former lightweight champion Boku (24-11-2) will be fighting for the promotion for the ninth time when he takes on Timofey Nastyukhin (10-2). The heavy hitting Russian needed just 6 seconds to finish Rob Lisita in his most recent outing.
There are two other fights currently on the card with Amir Khan (5-2) set to face Samir Mrabet (5-0) in the lightweight division and promotional newcomer Michelle Nicolini (2-1) set to face Mona Samir (1-2) in a strawweight match.
