Background

edit

The event marked the promotion's first event hosted in the United States and was broadcast live on Amazon Prime Video.[1] Colorado was chosen for the US debut because its athletic commission was the first to approve ONE's rule set.[6]

A ONE Flyweight World Championship trilogy bout between current champion Demetrious Johnson (also former UFC Flyweight Champion and 2019 ONE Flyweight World Grand Prix Champion) and Adriano Moraes headlined the event.[7] The pairing first met at ONE on TNT 1 on April 7, 2021, where Moraes won by knockout in the second round.[8] Their second meeting took place at ONE on Prime Video 1 on August 27, 2022, where Johnson won by knockout in the fourth round.[9]

A ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Championship bout between current champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon and Edgar Tabares took place at the event.[10]

A ONE Flyweight Submission Grappling World Championship bout between current champion Mikey Musumeci and Osamah Almarwai also took place at the event.[11]

A middleweight bout between former ONE Middleweight and Light Heavyweight World Champion Aung La Nsang and Fan Rong took place at the event.[12] The pairing was previously scheduled to meet at ONE Fight Night 6, but Rong withdrew due to tested positive for COVID-19.[13]

A submission grappling superfight took place during the event featuring current ONE Middleweight Champion Reinier de Ridder (also former ONE Light Heavyweight World Champion) and ADCC bronze medallist Tye Ruotolo.[14]

At weigh-ins, Jackie Buntan (131 lbs) and Diandra Martin (126 lbs) both missed weight. Their bout proceeded at a catchweight of 131 lbs.[15]
