The fight will take place in Singapore on November 24. It will also feature a rematch between Mei “V.V” Yamaguchi and reigning Women’s Atomweight Champion Angela Lee.

Ben Askren is currently riding a 17-0 no-loss streak. He is a former Bellator Champion, defending his title four times before moving to ONE, where he won the championship back in 2014. He has defended his title three times since then.
