This brings to five the number of confirmed fights on the card of the September 6 event, which will be held in Denver, Colorado, at the 18,000 capacity Ball Arena, home to the Nuggets.

However, all five fights on ONE 168 are probably subject to change, with one fighter under an injury cloud and one fighter in each of the four other bouts also taking part at ONE 167 in Bangkok next week.

The latest addition to the fight card will see American Alyse Anderson going up against Brazil’s Victoria Souza (7-2), who is booked to fight Itsuki Hirata at ONE 167.

Souza is coming off a decision loss to Noelle Grandjean and looks set to be extremely active in 2024 after fighting only once last year.

Coincidentally, Anderson (6-3) has a 2021 decision loss to Hirata on her record. The American was stopped by Stamp Fairtex at ONE Fight Night 10 in Denver last year and has not competed since.
