The promotion’s CEO and chairman Chatri Sityodtong confirmed the date to the Post on Sunday, and said September 2’s ONE Fight Night 14 card had been moved back by four weeks.

Before the date change, the September 2 card was slated to be headlined by an interim atomweight MMA title fight between Stamp Fairtex and Ham Seo-hee.

October 7’s ONE Fight Night 15 card will also remain in the same slot, meaning that there will be Prime Video events in back-to-back weeks. A location has not yet been announced for that event.

Chatri had initially appeared to break the news in a Facebook post on Saturday night, that read simply: “Singapore 9/30!”

He also said September’s Singapore event would not mark the return of “numbered events”, and that it will take place in the morning in Asia, and be geared towards American prime time.
