One Championship will put on its King of the Jungle event this weekend at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore, and one fighter has missed weight.
The overall card is headlined by championship kickboxing and Muay Thai bouts, while the mixed martial arts will see a match between Amir Khan and Kimihiro Eto. Khan (12-6) returned to the win column back in November of last year by winning a split decision over Ev Ting. The Evolve MMA representative was previously on a three-fight skid that saw him get knocked out by Saygid Guseyn Arslanaliev, get submitted by Ariel Sexton, and lose a title match against Eduard Folayang. He’ll look to start a new winning streak against his Japanese foe.
Eto (16-5-2) hasn’t fought since losing to Dae Song Park in July 2019 by TKO. Prior to that defeat, he had won three straight bouts on the One Warrior Series as he submitted Trestle Tan, Joshua Dustin Hardwick, and Yusaku Inoue. All five of his defeats have come via TKO, so he’ll look to avoid that against Khan.
King of the Jungle will stream live on B/R Live on Friday morning starting at 7:30 a.m. ET/4:30 a.m. PT.
