Mahmoud Hassan is a heavyweight boxer training out of Naser City, Egypt. Hassan possesses deadly power in both massive hands and is ready to knock out any opponent who is foolhardy enough to accept a fight with him. He will be the first Egyptian to step into the largest platform in Asian MMA and will be looking to do his country proud inside the famed ONE FC cage. 

Hassan faces kickboxing champion Alain Ngalani. Born in Cameroon, Ngalani now calls Hong Kong home after living in the city for more than 10 years. He has amassed an incredible kickboxing record that includes two Muay Thai world championships. Ngalani will be making his ONE FC debut together with his brother, James Kouame, whose bout with Jake Butler has earlier been announced.

Indonesia will have another representative on September 13 as grappling expert Max Metino faces Khmer boxing champion Long Sophy. Metino is a pioneer of mixed martial arts in Indonesia and has coached and mentored numerous mixed martial artists.  Sophy is a legend in the Cambodian martial art of Bokator, also known as Khmer boxing. This promises to be a clash of styles as the experienced grappler from Indonesia faces the highly touted striker from Cambodia.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world champion Almiro Barros will be making his mixed martial arts debut as he faces Australian-Vietnamese Kian Pham. Barros trains out of the famed Evolve MMA in Singapore while Kian Pham has established himself as a top Flyweight in Australia.  These Flyweights will look to steal the show with a standout performance at ONE FC: KOJIMA VS LEONE.  

Caros Fodor is a hard-nosed MMA veteran who served in the United States Marine Corp and did a tour in Kuwait during the Iraq Invasion. Since leaving the service, he has amassed a mixed martial arts record of 7-3 with an exciting style that has made him a fan favorite. Fodor remained the top ranked Lightweight in Strikeforce throughout his career there and is now looking to extend his winning ways by using his trademark reckless abandon to propel him to his first victory in Asia in his ONE FC debut. Fodor clashes with “Tommy” Yang Seung Ho, who is undefeated in six professional mixed martial arts bouts so far.
