ONE Championship has announced its return to 'The Kingdom', Cambodia, with another thrilling night of world-class mixed martial arts action. ONE: Kingdom of Khmer is set to electrify the Koh Pich Theatre on 5 December, bringing excitement back into the heart of Phnom Penh.
"ONE Championship continues its dedication to cultivating the sport of mixed martial arts in The Kingdom of Cambodia with another adrenaline-filled night of fights," said ONE Championship CEO Victor Cui.
"Our last event in Phnom Penh was such a huge success, and it was truly an honor to witness the crowd cheering for our ONE Championship superstars," he added.
In the main event, American lightweight star Lowen Tynanes of Hawaii will headline against Russian fighter Rasul Yakhyaev.
The undefeated Tynanes has impressed in his time so far inside the ONE Cage.
One of the most ferocious young lions, Tynanes boasts of world-class wrestling ability paired with absolutely relentless aggression, resulting in a handful of highlight-reel finishes.
He is currently unbeaten at seven wins and no losses, with most of his victories being spectacular knockouts or technical submissions.
The American is carried by his world-class wrestling skills and sheer knockout power, which is as fearsome as it is a beauty to watch.
His opponent however, is part of a growing contingent of Russian fighters who have recently impressed.
Rasul Yakhyaev of Russia is a lightweight star in his homeland where he's racked up a stellar record of nine wins with only two defeats.
He is adept in both striking and mat techniques, and is considered a solid prospect with tremendous potential.
With grappling as his fortitude, Yakhyaev makes his ONE Championship debut against Tynanes.
Also on the card is the return of Riku Shibuya in a quick turnaround, after recently decisioning Filipino Eugene Toquero last month in Kuala Lumpur.
Japanese MMA wildcard Shibuya won the hearts of fans with his unorthodox style and powerful combinations.
In his last outing however, his grappling skills were on full display instead, proving to the world that he is a complete fighter.
Now, fans in Phnom Penh will get to see Shibuya once again as he takes on the equally impressive Anatpong Bunrad.
Bunrad is currently on a three-fight win streak, defeating the highly regarded Geje Eustaquio in his latest appearance inside the ONE Cage.
Bunrad utilizes lightning quick strikes to subdue his opponents, but also has submission skills to round out his overall game.
