On Friday, ONE Championship returned to our screens with the stacked ONE: Reign Dynasties card out of the Singapore Indoor Arena.
In the main event of this ONE Championship card, Muay Thai legend and two-sport ONE World Champion Sam-A Gaiyanghadao attempted to defend his ONE Strawweight Muay Thai World Title against Australia’s Josh Tonna.
In the co-main event, unbeaten Finnish flyweight Aleksi Toivonen took on established contender “Lightning” Reece McLaren, who was eager to defend his spot in the division’s top-5.
Other highlights of the card included a lightweight scrap between ONE Championship mainstay Amir Khan, who has more knockout wins than any other fighter in the promotion’s history, and the ever-underrated Rahul Raju.
See the full results of this ONE Championship card below, along with highlights of each bout as clips become available. A full replay of the entire card is also available at the bottom of this page.
