ONE Championship 65: Immortal Pursuit takes place at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore Friday (Nov 24, 2017) at 7 a.m. (ET) live on Pay Per View. Welterweight champion Ben Askren defends his title in a retirement matchup against Japanese legend Shinya Aoki
Askren (17-0-NC) is coming off his second-straight stoppage victory as he finished Zebaztian Kadestam via TKO in the second-round at ONE Championship: Shanghai in September. The 33-year-old defends his title for the fifth time in his career. Aoki (39-7-) hasn’t competed in MMA since losing his lightweight title last year to Eduard Folayang at ONE Championship: Defending Honor in November 2016. The 34-year-old looks for his first win since December 2015.
In the co-main event, 40-year-old Adrian Pang competes for the first time since November 2016 when he takes on Amir Khan in a lightweight affair. Pang (22-10-2) last competed against Roger Huerta where he suffered a split-decision setback at ONE Championship: Defending Honor. Currently on a two-fight skid, Pang will be looking for his first win since October 2015. Khan (8-2) is riding a five-fight win streak, including a first-round TKO victory over Jaroslav Jartim at ONE Championship: Shanghai in September. The 23-year-old has only gone the distance once in his 10-fight career.
