On Wednesday, April 14, ONE Championship again aired on primetime in the U.S., hosting ONE on TNT II from Singapore.
In the night’s headliner, Christian Lee defended his lightweight crown for the second time. His challenger, Timofey Nastyukhin, made a name for himself when he ruined the former UFC champion Eddie Alvarez’s promotional debut, but he’s had an up-and-down ride in ONE. The Russian had never won more than two contests in a row under the ONE banner.
Meanwhile, Muay Thai was featured in the co-main event as Janet Todd battled Anne Line Hogstad. The American Todd, who currently holds ONE’s women’s atomweight kickboxing crown, had put together a strong case for a shot at the atomweight Muay Thai crown.
The prelims aired on B/R Live at 8:30 p.m. ET. The main card followed on TNT at 10 p.m. ET.
