ONE again returns to Singapore Indoor Stadium with this first quarter of 2022 event on February 11th.
In terms of already announced contests, we knew there was a pair of title fights topping the marquee. Anatoly Malykhin clashes with Kirill Grishenko for the interim ONE heavyweight strap.
Also, Bibiano Fernandes defends his ONE bantamweight world title against John Lineker. A high-stakes collision in many ways and one that informs the tag line for this event.
ONE: Bad Blood
In terms of freshly announced fights for ONE: Bad Blood, Jihin Radzuan returns to the ONE Circle after a competitive hiatus of over a year.
In her return, she tests skills against number five ranked atomweight and Team Lakay product Jenelyn Olsim.
Also within that weight category, Bi Nguyen looks to resume her winning ways after losing to the aforementioned Jenelyn Olsim. That bout verdict was a unanimous decision at ONE: Battleground III in August.
Killer Bee faces Lin Heqin, who looks to rebound from having an eleven-fight win streak snapped by Ritu Phogat. This loss came by way of UD at ONE: Battleground in July.
Jonathan Haggerty dons the four-ounce gloves ounce more for some world-class ONE Super Series action. The former ONE flyweight Muay Thai champion dropped a pair of bouts to Rodtang. But has since put together impressive back-to-back victories.
Haggerty now aims to put together a three-fight winning streak at the expense of Mongkolpetch Petchyindee Academy. A man who is ranked number four in the division and has never tasted defeat across a three-year campaign through the ONE Super Series ranks.
Also, Dustin Joynson embarks on his sophomore effort inside the ONE Circle against undefeated heavyweight Hugo Cunha.
Plus, Yosuke Saruta is fresh off his rubber match with Joshua Pacio and the former ONE strawweight world champion now looks to rebuild. To do so, he must get past the challenge of Gustavo Balart who secured his first win under the ONE banner last July.
What are your feelings on the latest bout announcements for ONE: Bad Blood?
