ONE FC: Dynasty of Champions is set for the National Olympic Sports Centre Gymnasium in Beijing and will be headlined by a bantamweight fight between former Legend FC champion Xian Ji and top Ruff contender Ya Sadong. Ji (11-2) was supposed to make his ONE FC debut earlier this year, but was unable to make the bantamweight limit. He will need to watch his weight cut carefully as this time around he is set to compete in the main event against Sadong (4-0-0-1) Ji was Legend FC’s bantamweight champion when the promotion folded last year and was swiftly snapped up by ONE FC, while Sadong only made his pro debut last year but is riding a four-fight winning streak and was all set to challenge for the Ruff title. The co-main event will feature the promotional debut of Adrian Pang, who was briefly the Legend FC 155-pound champion before losing the belt due to a split decision defeat at the hands of reigning ONE FC 145-pound champion Jadamba Naruntungulag. Pang (20-8-2) suffered serious injuries after being the victim of a night club assault in 2012, but made a successful comeback last year and is currently ranked as Australia’s top lightweight, a status he will be looking to cement when he takes on Vincent Latoel. Latoel (15-15-2) has proved extremely popular with ONE FC matchmakers and will be making the trip from Holland to Asia for the third time in the space of just six months
