Sotir Kichukov Replaces Rafael Nunes at ONE: Age of Domination | MMAWeekly.com

Rafael Nunes has been removed from the ONE: Age of Domination card for undisclosed reasons. Replacing him is Sotir Kichukov, who will now be fighting Mark Striegl at the MOA Arena on Dec. 6.

Kichukov (13-4) has not fought for over a year and was submitted in the second round by Yusup Saadulaev on his ONE Championship debut. He hails from Bulgaria, but is based in Vietnam and fights out of the Saigon Sports Club.

This is the second match in row in which Striegl has seen his opponent pull out. Last time, Reece McLaren replaced Jordan Lucas at late notice and ended up submitting the Fil-Am fighter in the third round.

Striegl (14-2) will be hoping that lightning doesn’t strike twice as he prepares for his third ONE Championship fight. The 28-year-old was formerly a featherweight title contender with Legend FC and will be looking to get back to winning ways in front of the Filipino fans in Manila.
