ONE: Battleground II full card revealed (Alain Ngalani back at it)
The ONE: Battleground II full card is now out there in the world. The second installment of the ONE Championship Battleground series transpires on August 13th. It’s a pre-recorded card from Singapore Indoor Stadium.
The main and co-main event bouts (Folayang vs Lipeng and Silva vs Li Tao, respectively) had already been announced. But now the entire event run-down is readily available to the ONE fanbase.

Thomas Narmo versus Alain Ngalani looks to be a high octane heavyweight collision, on paper.
Ngalani is a multiple-time world kickboxing and Muay Thai champion. The Panther continues to carve out his path in heavyweight mixed martial arts with an unwaveringly exciting approach.
The promotional stalwart who is approaching his eight-year anniversary with the company has taken on all comers. Alain Ngalani looks to add a few more clips to the already deep highlight reel going forward.
Thomas Narmo is a 6’6 heavyweight and the hulking Norweigan is known as The Last Viking.
He has a spotless 4-0 record with a one hundred percent finishing rate. All victories have occurred in the first frame of those fights. Narmo won his debut fight via submission and has three straight striking-based wins heading into this ONE Championship debut.
Eko Roni Saputra versus Liu Peng Shuai pits a decorated Indonesian wrestling champion against a savvy warrior who is 3-1 in ONE Championship competition.
There is only one who can advance further in the flyweight hierarchy and succeed in Singapore.
Finally, Otgonbaatar Nergui versus Rahul Raju exists as the show opener and is a lightweight affair.
Nergui tapped out Shooto veteran Takuya Nagata in ONE Warrior Series. He aims to continue his momentum by winning his first foray on the main roster.
Conversely, Raju garnered back-to-back wins inside the Circle during his 2019 campaign. But subsequently had consecutive first-round defeats within the ONE ranks and is now looking to rebound.
