ONE Championship made its way to Denver with a loaded card of martial arts action.
(ONE Championship)

ONE Championship returned to the United States on Friday (September 6) for a stacked card of combat sports action that took place at Ball Arena in Denver, CO.

The main event was a huge rematch between ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai and Kickboxing Champion Jonathan Haggerty and ONE Flyweight Kickboxing Champion Superlek. The pair previously met in a 2018 matchup that saw Superlek win via doctorโ€™s stoppage, and in their second encounter "The Kicking Machine" floored Haggerty with a vicious elbow in less than a minute.

The nightโ€™s co-main event was supposed to see Kate Ruotolo take on Mikey Musumeci in a champion vs. champion grappling super fight, but a Ruotolo injury unfortunately scrapped the matchup during fight week. Bebeto Oliveira stepped up on short-notice to compete in Denver, but after Musumeci failed his hydration and weight testing the American ultimately decided to withdraw from a planned catchweight matchup.

Liam Harrison's long-awaited return fight against Seksan was promoted to co-main event status after Musumeci's withdrawal, and "The Man Who Yields To No One" spoiled Harrison's return to action when he stopped "Hitman" in the second round.

Shamil Erdogan extended his unbeaten pro record to 10-0 when he stopped Aung La N Sang, and John Lineker also made a huge statement in his Muay Thai debut by defeating Asa Ten Pow as part of a tremendous night of martial arts action.
