ASIDE from the much awaited rematch between Kevin Belingon and Bibiano Fernandes and the highly anticipated match-up between Danny Kingad and Demetrius Johnson, two more Team Lakay will see action in the stacked ONE Championship card in Japan.
Lito Adiwang, who was recently signed up after an impressive showing in ONE Warrior Series, will debut against Senzo Ikeda in a strawweight contest while Honorio Banario seeks redemption against former world champion Shinya Aoki in a lightweight clash.
Adiwang made it to ONE securing a six digit contract recently after disposing three highly touted rivals winning two impressive knock – outs in the mixed martial arts developmental league headed by Rich Franklin.
Having an impressive record of nine wins and two defeats with five knock outs and three submissions, Adiwang will square off against a more experienced Ikeda with 12 wins and seven defeats.
Ikeda is coming off a loss against Adiwang’s brother in Team Lakay, Kingad, in March this year which snapped his four fight win streak.
Banario, the inaugural ONE featherweight world champion meanwhile gets a shot at redemption as he takes on former lightweight champion Aoki.
Aoki earlier defeated Folayang in ONE’s initial event in Japan in March with a first round submission to reclaim the belt. The Japanese fighter however would yield the belt to Christian Lee in the second round.
Banario meanwhile hopes to get back to the winning track after back to back defeats against Lowen Tynanes and Dae Sung Park.
