Background

edit

A ONE Women's Strawweight Muay Thai World Championship bout between current champion Smilla Sundell and Natalia Diachkova headlined the event.[4] At the weigh-ins, Sundell came in at 126.5 lb (after coming in at 127.7 lb in for an unofficial check two and a half hours into the weigh-ins), 1.5 pounds over the strawweight limit for a title fight. As a result, Sundell was stripped of the title and only Diachkova was eligible to win it.[5]

Former ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing Champion Hiroki Akimoto made his return after a 1-year and 5-month hiatus against former K-1 Lightweight Champion and promotional newcomer Wei Rui in a bantamweight kickboxing bout.[6]

At the weigh-ins, Maurice Abévi weighed in at 174 pounds, four pound over the lightweight limit. His bout proceeded at catchweight and he was fined a percent of his purse which went to his opponent The Ultimate Fighter: China welterweight winner Zhang Lipeng.[7]
