ONE Super Series fans will get an extra gift to unwrap this Christmas.  

On Friday, December 25, ONE Championship will air ONE: COLLISION COURSE II, which was previously-recorded at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.  

Number two-ranked Muay Thai featherweight Jamal “Kherow” Yusupov will meet #4-ranked Samy “AK47” Sana in the main event of the evening. 

Yusupov made a splash after knocking out “The Boxing Computer” Yodsanklai IWE Fairtex in his promotional debut, earning a shot at Petchmorakot Petchyindee Academy for the inuagural ONE Featherweight Muay Thai World Title – though he had to withdraw because of an injury.

Now fully healthy, Yusupov’s goal is clear: work his way back to contention, and it starts this Friday against dangerous Sana.  

Sana also owns a win over the legendary Yodsanklai and beat “Genghis Khan” Dzhabar Askerov in the semifinals of the ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Grand Prix, though he lost to kickboxing great Giorgio “The Doctor” Petrosyan in the tournament finale.  

After both men narrowly missed the pinnacle of their division, their paths now cross paths in the final event of the year for The Home Of Martial Arts.  

In the co-main event, former ONE Flyweight World Champion Kairat “The Kazakh” Akhmetov returns to action against “Ottogi” Dae Hwan Kim, who tests himself in the flyweight division for the first time.
