ONEchampionship.com

Two more huge match-ups have been added to the historic ONE: ENTER THE DRAGON bout card, which will take place at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Friday, 17 May.

The blockbuster show will see the return of former ONE Flyweight World Champion Geje “Gravity” Eustaquio (11-7), as he begins his quest to climb back to the top of his division.

The representative of Team Lakay from Baguio City, Philippines has eight wins over top competition in ONE Championship.

Most notably, he holds victories over reigning ONE Flyweight World Champion Adriano “Mikinho” Moraes, as well as former ONE World Champions Kairat “The Kazakh” Akhmetov and Alex “Little Rock” Silva.

When the 30-year-old steps into the ring, he will welcome Kim Kyu Sung (9-2) to The Home Of Martial Arts.

With seven wins by stoppage to his name, the 26-year-old from Jeonju, South Korea has emerged as a rising star in Asia, and now he will get the chance to show he belongs on the global stage for martial arts.

The other new addition to ONE: ENTER THE DRAGON is an alternate bout for the highly-anticipated ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Grand Prix.

This contest will be a clash of youth versus experience, as Sasha Moisa (39-7) makes his promotional debut against Daniel “The Rock” Dawson (53-14).

Moisa is 24 years old and a WMC Muay Thai World Champion who hails from Ukraine, but lives in Bangkok, Thailand, where he trains at Behzad Warrior Academy.

His opponent is one of the most decorated athletes in martial arts history, as he has claimed four kickboxing World Titles, three Muay Thai World Titles, and one boxing World Title.

Dawson is 41, but the NRT Gym representative from Perth, Australia is still capable of bringing fireworks to the ring. He proved that in the 2018 ONE Super Series Bout Of The Year.

The winner of this contest will step in to replace any World Grand Prix participant who cannot compete in the semi-final round due to injury.

This match-up will also precede all four quarter-final bouts of the tournament, which features legends like Giorgio “The Doctor” Petrosyan“The Hero” Yodsanklai IWE Fairtex, and Andy “Souwer Power” Souwer.

ONE: ENTER THE DRAGON’s main event will feature ONE Lightweight World Champion Shinya “Tobikan Judan” Aoki defending his coveted belt against Christian “The Warrior” Lee.

The co-main event will be a battle for the inaugural ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Title as Nieky “The Natural” Holzken meets Regian “The Immortal” Eersel.
