Reinier de Ridder vs. Vitaly Bigdash to Headline One Championship 159 on July 22

Two-division champion Reinier
de Ridder
will defend his middleweight (205-pound) crown
against Vitaly
Bigdash
in the One Championship 159 main event on July 22.

Promotion officials recently announced the full lineup for the
card. One Championship 159 takes place at Singapore Indoor Stadium
in Kallang, Singapore, and will see Janet Todd square off against
Lara Fernandez for the interim atomweight muay Thai title in the
co-main event.

De Ridder is undefeated in 15 professional appearances — including
six victories under the One banner. In his last outing, the
31-year-old Netherlands native defended the middleweight belt with
a third-round submission of Kiamrian
Abbasov
at One “Full Circle” on Feb. 25. “The Dutch Knight”
initially captured middleweight gold with a first-round submission
of Aung La N
Sang
in October 2020. De Ridder also vanquished Sang via
unanimous decision for the light heavyweight title at One on TNT 4
in April 2021.

Bigdash enters the matchup on a three-bout winning streak under the
Singapore-based promotion’s banner. Most recently the 37-year-old
Akhmat Fight Team representative outpointed Sang at One “Full
Circle” on Feb. 25. He owns a 12-2 career mark with 10 victories
inside the distance.
