The event will also see the return of lightweight proponent Amir Khan, who is known for having the most knockout finishes in ONE Championship history, a record he shares with his Evolve teammate and reigning ONE lightweight world champion Christian “The Warrior” Lee.

Khan will take on rising Indian lightweight Rahul “The Kerala Krusher” Raju.

Also seeing action on the card is another of Khan’s Evolve stablemates in multiple-time Indonesian wrestling champion Eko Roni Saputra.

Dejdamrong will face China Top Team’s “Wolf of the Grasslands” Hexigetu in what should be another exciting matchup.

Lastly, Indian wrestling champion “The Indian Notorious” Roshan Mainam will look to build upon his recent success and add another victory to his record when he faces ONE Hefei Flyweight Tournament champion Liu Peng Shuai in the opening bout of the night.
