ONE Championship 60: Shanghai emanates from Shanghai Oriental Sports Center this Saturday (September 2, 2017) at 7 a.m. (ET) live on Pay-Per-View. In the main event, welterweight champion Ben Askren defends his title against Zebaztian Kadestam.
Askren (16-0) heads into this matchup off a first-round submission victory over previously undefeated Agilan Thangalapani at ONE Championship: Dynasty of Heros in May. The 33-year-old will be competing for just the fourth time since 2015. Kadestam (9-3) is coming off a first-round TKO win over Luis Santos on that same ONE Championship event in May and has gone 2-2 in his four fights. The Swedish fighter has fought primarily for the Guam-based PXC promotion and won seven of his nine career bouts by stoppage.
In the co-main event, 41-year-old lightweight fighter Narantungalag Jadamba looks to get back on the winning track against Tetsuya Yamada. Jadamba (12-5) heads into this matchup off a first-round submission loss to Marat Gafurov at ONE Championship: Defending Honor in November, which snapped his two-fight win streak. Jadamba hasn’t lost two-fights in a row since 2006. Yamada (21-5-2) has won four fights in a row — all by decision — and has emerged victorious in six of his last seven fights. The 27-year-old will enter the ONE Championship cage for the first time since January 2016.
