By Tom Taylor - April 10, 2019

ONE Championship has announced the full lineup for its upcoming ONE: For Honor card, which will go down on May 3 inside Jakarta, Indonesia’s Istora Senayan.

Yushin Okami

As previously announced, the card will be topped by a ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title bout between Thai champion Sam-A Gaiyanghadao and English challenger Jonathan Haggerty.

The newly announced co-main event will see former UFC middleweight title challenger Yushin Okami debut in the ONE Championship cage, where he will battle surging ONE welterweight contender Kiamrian Abbasov.

At 20-4 overall, Kyrgyzstan’s Abbasov represents a dangerous debut for the UFC veteran. “Brazen” last fought in December, when he submitted former ONE welterweight title challenger Agilan Thani in the first-round.
