ONE Championship returned to the Singapore Indoor Stadium with ONE 159: De Ridder vs. Bigdash on Friday, July 22, and every fight on the nine-card bill was packed with intense action.

In the main event, undefeated two-division ONE World Champion Reinier de Ridder submitted former middleweight king Vitaly Bigdash to prove that he is unquestionably the most dominant force in the weight class.

Meanwhile, ONE Atomweight Kickboxing World Champion Janet Todd became the second female to achieve two-sport glory. The American star defeated Spain’s Lara Fernandez in the co-main event to add the ONE Interim Atomweight Muay Thai World Title to her trophy case.
