The Mongolian faces Carlo Bumina-ang in a bantamweight fight at Lumpinee Stadium on August 3.

Baatarkhuu beat Filipinos in his first three ONE Championship fights with the most recent of those at the expense of Jhanlo Sangiao who represents Team Lakay and is the son of the camp’s head coach and founder, Mark Sangiao.

The Mongolian’s record stands at 10-3 but he saw his nine-fight winning streak snapped by Artem Belakh at ONE Fight Night 18 earlier this year and will be looking to get back in the title mix with a victory next month.

Bumina-ang holds a 6-0 record and won five fights out of five one ONE Championship’s weekly Friday night events at Lumpinee Stadium.
