Singapore: One Championship has added two more bouts to its 10th anniversary event, One X, to be held on March 26 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
The organisation announced that Yusup "Maestro" Saadulaev will take on Shoko Sato in a bantamweight bout and Ryuto "Dragon Boy" Sawada will face Senzo Ikeda in a strawweight match.
Saadulaev, who was once ranked No.3 in the bantamweight division, has defeated fighters such as Sotir Kichukov and Jordan Lucas with his impressive grappling skills.
He also triumphed over "Ottogi" Dae Hwan Kim and his last four wins were all unanimous decisions.
The "Maestro" has been training at Khabib Nurmagomedov's gym, Nurmagomedov MMA School, in Dagestan to prepare for this bout. He faces a challenging striker in Sato, who won 60 percent of his fights by TKO or KO.
Sato, a Shooto bantamweight champion, has several submission victories to his name and is dangerous on the ground for even the most seasoned fighter.
Ikeda, a Pancrase flyweight champion, is confidently returning to the circle after knocking out Elipitua "The Magician" Siregar with a body punch earlier this year.
An experienced contender with victories over significant opponents in Japan, the strawweight is ready to demonstrate his skills at the event.
On the other hand, Sawada -- a karate black belt and jiu-jitsu purple belt -- is another contender that can take the fight to the ground or keep it standing.
However, for the first time in his 20-fight career, he suffered back-to-back losses in his last two bouts.
Now, he'll be looking to use Ikeda to spring back into the win column.
These two bouts are in addition to the dozen or so already confirmed bouts for One X, including the hybrid-rules super-fight between One flyweight Muay Thai world champion Rodtang "The Iron Man" Jitmuangnon and 12-time MMA world champion Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson .
