ONE 159 Weigh-In and Hydration Test Results: Main Event in Jeopardy?

In the co-main event, the reigning WBC Muay Thai World Flyweight champion and the reigning ISKA World Super Featherweight champion Lara Fernandez makes her ONE debut against the current ONE atomweight kickboxing world champion Janet Todd. The two will compete for the interim atomweight Muay Thai world championship. If Todd wins, it would make her only the third person in promotional history to carry two world championships in different sports.

Main Eventer Vitaly Bigdash Does Not Pass Hydration Test at ONE 159 Weigh-In

The biggest news coming out of the ONE 159 weigh-in is that main eventer and world title challenger Vitaly Bigdash did not pass his hydration test. As a result, Bigdash will be allowed up until 4 p.m. SGT to properly hydrate and weigh in.

Also failing the hydration test were Bokang Masunyane, Jamal Yusupov, and show-opener Zeba Bano who is scheduled to face ONE debutant Lea Bivins on the lead card. Danial Williams’ opponent Zhaxi Zelang passed the hydration test, but missed weight and will be given until 4 p.m. SGT to make weight and hydrate.

Both competitors in the co-main event made and passed their hydration tests ensuring we will have at least one title fight go down in Singapore on Friday.
