ONE on TNT 4 preview
Share this story
ONE on TNT IV will be broadcast live this Wednesday (US time). The event is set for the Singapore Indoor Stadium and sees Aung La Nsang take on Reinier de Ridder after a last minute reshuffle.
La Nsang was originally supposed to fight Vitaly Bigdash in a middleweight fight but the Russian has COVID-19. Instead he finds himself defending his light heavyweight strap against de Ridder who saw a welterweight title fight with Kiamrian Abbasov fall through a couple of weeks ago.
Another late alteration sees Shinya Aoki matched with Eduard Folayang in a lightweight trilogy bout. The Japanese veteran had originally been scheduled to face Sage Northcutt who is suffering from the lingering effects of COVID-19.

Team Lakay veteran Eduard Folayang and Fil-Am muay thai fighter Jackie Buntan (ONE Championship)
Team Lakay veteran Eduard Folayang and Filipina-American muay thai fighter Jackie Buntan are all set to see action in ONE Championship’s US prime time showing on ONE on TNT IV at the Singapore Indoor Stadium Thursday (Manila time).
Folayang will be settling an unfinished business in a trilogy with Japanese legend and former world lightweight champion Shinya Aoki in their mixed martial arts bout while Buntan will square off with Ekaterina Vandaryeva of Belarus in their strawweight muay thai card.
A win by Folayang, 36, might be the answer for his redemption after losing four of his last five fights since March 2019, which was his first rematch with current No. 4 contender Aoki.
