#4. Martin Nguyen vs. Eddie Alvarez in a clash of hard-hitters
Who wouldn’t enjoy a battle between two exciting knockout artists?
Former two-division world champion Martin Nguyen has expressed interest in testing his skills against Eddie Alvarez whenever possible. While the two fighters compete in different divisions, Nguyen has heard rumors of Alvarez possibly moving down to featherweight. As such, he hopes to welcome the American star to the division on a card that will be live at U.S. primetime.
Nguyen has used his incredible power to become the first two-division world champion in ONE Championship history and owns 10 TKOs in 14 wins. His latest victory came at the expense of promotional newcomer Kirill Gorobets earlier this year.

Meanwhile, Alvarez is looking to climb the ranks of ONE Championship with the goal of becoming the first person to claim a world title in the three largest organizations on the planet.
While he has been on a rollercoaster ride at lightweight, a move to the featherweight division could help give him a fresh new start in the promotion.
#3. Mikey Musumeci vs. Adriano Moraes in a submission grappling superfight
Adriano Moraes has ruled over the flyweight division for quite some time now, and competing in submission grappling could offer him a fresh new challenge.
10 of Moraes’ 20 wins have come via submission, so there is no question that he is formidable on the ground. However, he could further prove that his skills are not just effective in MMA by overcoming a grappling phenom in Mikey Musumeci.
The 26-year-old showed that he has what it takes to take down a legend in his own game in his promotional debut. ‘Darth Rigatoni’ dismantled leg-lock specialist Masakazu Imanari in their matchup, ultimately finding the Japanese veteran’s back for the submission victory and a USD$50k bonus.
Moraes has already proven that he is one of the best world champions in the history of ONE. Competing and winning against a talented grappler like Musumeci will only add to his legend and cement his place in history as one of the best martial artists to ever compete.
