This week, ONE Championship announced that its first event in August will feature not one, but two world championship bouts.
ONE lightweight world champion Ok Rae Yoon will meet former divisional king Christian Lee in the headliner of ONE 160: Ok vs. Lee II on Aug. 26 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
The two stars first met at ONE: REVOLUTION last September, when they put on a show for the global fanbase. The world title tussle went all the way to the end, and after a six-fight winning streak, "The Warrior" was handed a controversial loss by the judges.
Lee firmly believes he won the encounter, so he will be ready for his chance at redemption. Conversely, Ok will get the opportunity to put a definitive stamp on the rivalry by successfully defending his belt against the Singaporean-American phenom.
Before that highly anticipated rematch goes down, Chinese juggernaut Tang Kai will challenge ONE Featherweight World Champion Thanh Le for his throne.
Le has been a force in the featherweight division so far. He has a perfect 5-0 slate in ONE, with five finishes and a World Title defense. The Vietnamese-American sparked grappling ace Garry Tonon earlier this year to cement his status as divisional king.
He now faces a rising star in Tang Kai. The top-ranked contender has won all six of his bouts in ONE, and he has earned his shot at the gold with dominant performances across the board.

In addition to the two World Championship showdowns, the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix semifinal bout between Superlek Kiatmoo9 and Walter Goncalves will also take place on the main card. "The Kicking Machine" thoroughly defeated Taiki "Silent Sniper" Naito in the quarterfinals, while Goncalves needed only half a minute to knock out Josue "Tuzo" Cruz.
ONE 160 will also host exciting MMA action on its lead card, with three bouts across various weight divisions. In addition, fans can expect to see thrilling Muay Thai fights and a submission grappling match between Valdir Rodrigues and Renato Canuto.
