ONE Championship CEO Chatri Sityodtong revealed to SCMP MMA that ONE Championship Middleweight champion Aung La N Sang is set to defend his title against Reinier De Ridder.

The fight is expected to be part of the upcoming ONE Championship show in Singapore on October 30 and is bound to have a string of other big names as well.

“Next week we’ll announce the return of our mega-events. We’ll announce some big things happening in October. I think Twitter leaked some stuff out this morning, I’ll just say I don’t know how Twitter does it,” Chatri noted during the interview.

Chatri also went on to add that it would be an interesting scenario when the two middleweights finally cross paths in the cage.

“Aung La will be defending his title. His first opponent he was gonna defend against before the pandemic was Reinier, the undefeated Dutch fighter, but he was injured from his last fight, and that’s why we went with Vitaly Bigdash. Both are worthy opponents. People want to see a trilogy with Bigdash, they’re one apiece, that’s a big fight. But Reinier, that’s gonna be a really interesting fight for Aung La as well,” he added.
