One Fighting Championship is returning to Jakarta on Sept. 13 for a show that will be headlined by a flyweight world title fight between Japanese rivals Yasuhiro Urushitani and Shinichi Kojima . The show takes place at the 15,000-seat Istora Senayan. The main event features two fighters who have faced each other on two previous occasions. Urushitani and Kojima met 2005 and 2007 while competing for Shooto with both bouts both ending in a draw. The fight between Kojima (20-6-6) and Rey Docyogen at One FC: Return of Warriors in Kuala Lumpur earlier this year was a designated title eliminator, which the Japanese veteran won with a guillotine choke late in the second round. Urushitani (20-6-6) is also coming off a win over Docyogen, whom he defeated via split decision at One FC: Rise to Power in Manila last month
