ONE Championship: Winter Warriors welcomes the winter season with a bang

Aside from the exciting co-main and main event bouts, Winter Warriors has an absolutely stacked card filled with bouts that could easily headline any event.

The event marks the arrival of Chinese kickboxing superstar Qiu Jianliang to the ONE Championship Circle. Welcoming him will be the 24-1 former WBC Muay Thai Japan champion Hiroki Akimoto. This kickboxing contest could very well determine the next challenger to ONE bantamweight kickboxing champion Capitan.

Elsewhere on the card is the much-awaited return of Brazilian jiu-jitsu icon Marcus 'Buchecha' Almeida. In his sophomore MMA effort, the 17-time grappling world champion will take on undefeated knockout artist Kang Ji Won. Will the fans once again see the grappling mastery of 'Buchecha' or will Kang put an early stop to the budding career of the grappling savant?

Tune in on December 3 to watch the drama and action unfold.
