#2. Featherweight title eliminator

For those who may have lost track, ONE: REVOLUTION features three title bouts and two title eliminators.

In the featherweight division, former ONE featherweight world champion and current No.1-ranked featherweight Martin Nguyen looks to earn a chance at reclaiming gold. He will be opposed by No.5-ranked Kim Jae Woong, who has been clamoring for a fight with the former champ. Woong recently trained at California’s renowned gym Team Alpha Male in preparation for this fight.

Kim Jae Woong has been working with the likes of former WEC champion Urijah Faber, former UFC champion Cody Garbrandt and top UFC contender Song Yadong. The winner of this bout will move up to the challenge for the ONE featherweight world title.

Given the speed and ability of both these powerhouse contenders, this fight has all the makings for a barnburner. Keep your eyes peeled, and don't blink.


#1. BJJ legend makes his MMA debut

The time has finally arrived. Marcus 'Buchecha' Almeida - arguably one of the greatest Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioners of all time - makes his long-awaited MMA debut.

With 17 BJJ world championships to his credit, 'Buchecha' instantly became the best grappler in ONE Championship upon signing with the organization. He holds a grappling record of 128-13-1, which translates to a winning rate of over 90 percent.

The Brazilian athlete will make his debut in the heavyweight division, opposite his fellow countryman Anderson 'Braddock' Silva, who is dangerous in his own right. Silva holds the title of Brazilian national kickboxing champion. Almeida’s debut is one of the most anticipated in the entire sport, bringing an entirely new level of grappling to the heavyweight stable.
