Another exciting bout has been added to ONE Championship's biggest event ever, ONE: X. Indian former national boxing champion Asha Roka will face MMA stalwart Alyse Anderson in an atomweight match.
Both fighters are coming off losses and will be eager to get back to winning ways come March 26.
Anderson, famous for nearly finishing ONE rising star Itsuki Hirata last year, is looking to correct the mistakes she made on her ONE debut. The Invicta FC veteran has a well-rounded game that perfectly balances striking with grappling. Against Hirata, Anderson was competitive on the feet, but was outclassed on the ground.

As for Roka, it's no secret that the Indian 'Knockout Queen' has the power and pugilistic skills to end anyone's night early. She was, however, submitted by title contender Stamp Fairtex via rear naked choke in her last outing inside the Circle. With both striking-heavy fighters showing glaring weaknesses in the grappling department, fans can expect an explosive bout on the feet.
