A welterweight title fight between undefeated (16-0) ONE: Championship king Ben Askren and vicious knockout artist Zebaztian Kadestam leads the way Saturday, Sept. 2, at ONE: Shanghai. The event, which streams live on FloCombat in the U.S., begins at 7 a.m. ET.
This matchup is all kinds of juicy.
Askren, a two-time NCAA Division-I National Champion, Olympian, two-time Hodge Trophy recipient, and former Bellator MMA welterweight champion holding a win over their current champ, Douglas Lima, is one of the best fighters to ever grace the cage. Fact.
He's never lost, and he's barely been touched, winning 16 fights and suffering just one no-contest in his career. Fighting for ONE Championship, Askren is 4-0 (one no-contest), earning stoppages in three of his four victories.
His grappling is damn near impossible to keep up with. Here's how his fights go:
Clinch. Takedown. Done.
Time and again, Askren imposes his will and leaves opponents tapping for safety inside the cage.
Zebaztian Kadestam doesn't give a f*&! -- that's fact #2.
The Swedish knockout artist is a WBC Muay Thai champion and former PXC welterweight champion.
In his nine career victories, he's earned seven knockouts and one submission, an 88 percent finish rate in victory.
Put plainly, when Kadestam touches you, it's lights out.
His latest masterpiece looked like this:
Is this the type of power that can put Askren out and end his winning streak? Will Kadestam win the title and shock the world? He certainly has the power. But can he land it?
