ONE Championship set for US prime time return with Flyweight title scrap

ONE Championship headed to US television

The quest for ONE Championship to gain relevancy across the Pacific Ocean takes a new step, as it will return to United States primetime viewing on April 7 (morning of April 8 in Manila) at TNT.

The tease for this upcoming mixed martial arts event goes like this:

Serving as the main event is the much-anticipated ONE Flyweight World Championship showdown between current champion Adriano Moraes against the ONE Flyweight World Grand Prix champion Demetrious Johnson. Johnson also happens to be the number one contender for the belt.

Acting as the co-main is Eddie Alvarez against the 2nd-ranked lightweight contender Iuri Lapicus, while current ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon faces Jacob Smith in a non-title muay thai matchup.

ONE Championship's chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong might share some more details on this particular card and others later in the week on an upcoming video conference call.
