With three new matchups, the lineup is taking shape for next month’s “ONE FC 23: Battle of Lions” event.

Officials today announced a trio of matchups, including featherweights Cary Bullos (7-1) vs. Major Overall.

ONE FC 23 takes place Nov. 7 at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore. The card streams in North America as an online pay-per-view.

Bullos, a URCC Visayas bantamweight champion, makes his promotional debut. The 31-year-old Filipino fighter has posted seven stoppages in seven career wins, including five in the first round. He most recently scored a 39-second TKO victory over Hideo Morikawa (6-3) in January.

He now meets Overall, an American who’s posted three consecutive victories. With four submissions in his first four career wins, he recently fought in May at ONE FC 16 and picked up his first knockout victory, which came over Bruno Pucci (3-1) via a punch and soccer kick.

Other additions include featherweights Amir Khan (1-1) vs. Waqar Umar (3-1) and atomweights Kirstie Gannaway (0-0) vs. Adek Omar (0-0).

Dwayne Hinds (10-0, 90% finishing rate) vs. Warren de Reuck (6-0, 100% finishing rate)

Here's a gif from Overall's last fight:

interested in main event cause of Leandro, then Sapo and Hinds I hear people talk about.
 
Another good card with fights that will be high on the entertainment factor. Expect a lot of finishes. A great lead in to there December card in Manila, which will probably feature most of their big stars.
 
that's actually a pretty strong card. sapo vs abbasov is awesome, and sapo is a solid fight for askren.

Rich Franklin needs to pick better match ups for the main fighters; for example Lessei verses Kouyate in tonight’s fight they had a fighter “Kouyate” 47 fight win with 94% finish rate against Lessei with 7 and 1 fight record; it sucks when you have a major prospect like Lessei you need to build him up with people that are closer to his skill set to where you can make him a worldwide phenomenon right now; they just blew it by putting him in the ring with somebody at a higher skill level, which kills the fan following

Lessei was one of the biggest betting favorites on the card. If you thought it was too big of a step up for him, I'm sure you placed a massive bet on Kouyate.

Looking forward to seeing your betslip.

Yeah that was a huge upset by Kouyate. And who in One Muay Thai could they give Lessei that would be more his level? That guy clearly just isn't that good. Doesn't train in Thailand only US with his dad. His ceiling has already been hit. And he also lost to Eddie so is 0-3 in One imo. Americans want to overrate their guy but he ain't it
