ONE Championship has announced the full card for February 25’s Full Circle in Singapore, and the card looks to be a big one.
Three title fights top the marquee, as well as the long-awaited trilogy bout between former middleweight champs Aung La N Sang and Vitaly Bigdash.
Promotion officialls announced the full card in a press release distributed on Thursday.
Anchoring the main event at Full Circle will be a middleweight title fight between Reinier de Ridder and Kiamrian Abbasov. Known as “The Dutch Knight,” de Ridder (14-0) shocked fight fans by beating N Sang in two consecutive fights in 2020 and 2021, capturing both the middleweight and light heavyweight titles in the process.
In his first defense of either title, Reinier de Ridder draws Abbasov (23-4), winner of five straight, four under the ONE Championship banner. That run includes wins over former UFC title challenger Yushin Okami, and former ONE champ Zebastian Kadestam.
Aung La N Sang (27-12, 1NC) returned to the win column last year, with a knockout of Brazilian Leandro Ataides helping put the dual losses to de Ridder in the rear view mirror. Overall, “The Burmese Python” is 8-2 in his past 10 fights. Rival Vitaly Bigdash (11-2) ended a multi-year hiatus in 2021, with a win over Fan Rong.
The career series between N Sang and Bigdash currently sits at one win apiece. Bigdash won their first meeting in January 2017 by unanimous decision. Three judges saw the fight in favor of Aung La in the rematch later that year.
ONE Championship: Full Circle will also feature a light heavyweight kickboxing title fight between champ Roman Kryklia and Murat Aygun. That fight serves as the evening’s co-main event, while Petchmorakot Petchyindee defends his featherweight Muay Thai title against #1 ranked Jamal Yusupov earlier on the card.
Also appearing at the event, former WSOF champ and UFC fighter David Branch (22-7). He’ll make his promotional debut against Leandro Ataides.
ONE: Full Circle takes place at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore on Friday, March 25, 2022. The full card as announced can be found below.
