ONE Championship: Heavy Hitters will see the debut of Khabib Nurmagomedov's protégé

One of the more interesting and anticipated bouts of the evening will be the ONE debut of Saygid Izagakhmaev. The Dagestani debutant will be cornered by the one and only Khabib Nurmagomedov, his teammate and close friend. The former UFC lightweight champion will appear at a ONE event for the first time.

Across the cage from him is decorated American wrestler James Nakashima, who is looking to return to the winning column. With two losses in a row, the once-welterweight title contender has his back against the wall.

Aside from this compelling fight between wrestlers of different backgrounds, we will also see the sophomore outing of Muay Thai phenom Supergirl inside the ONE Circle. After her incredible promotional debut against Milagros Lopez, the 18-year old Muay Thai prodigy will look to do the same thing with Ekaterina Vandaryeva.
