Three More Exciting Match-Ups Added To ONE: ETERNAL GLORY

The bout card for the first ONE Championship event of 2019 continues to get deeper with the addition of three more match-ups.

ONE: ETERNAL GLORY will now see Anthony “The Archangel” Engelen take on Thai Rithy, Riski “King Kong” Umar meet Aziz “The Krauser” Calim, and Oscar Yaqut face Andreas “Yahyaz” Satyawan.

The event will take place at the Istora Senayan, in Jakarta, Indonesia on Saturday, 19 January.

Engelen will return to the cage in his hometown off the back of two sensational first-round stoppages in the space of eight days at the end of 2018.

The Dutch-Indonesian knocked out Meas Meul with a head kick at ONE: HEART OF THE LION, and thensubmitted Jimmy Yabo with a rear-naked choke at ONE: WARRIOR’S DREAM.

Those successes took his tally of wins to five – all via stoppage – in The Home Of Martial Arts.

His opponent in a featherweight bout will be searching for his second ONE victory. Rithy debuted in September 2017 with a second-round knockout of Jerome S Paye.

The other two match-ups will be all-Indonesian affairs. ONE veterans Umar and Calim will meet in a strawweight bout, whereas Yaqut and Satyawan will make their mixed martial arts debuts in the featherweight division.

Further match-up announcements for ONE’s first event of 2019 will be made in the coming weeks.
