The card also includes Sage Northcutt, who last fought this past spring at ONE’s first-ever event in the United States. Northcutt will look to win a second in a row when he meets Shinya Aoki in a lightweight bout.

Details on how to watch the Asian primetime card in the United States are expected to be announced soon.
