ONE Championship’s busy schedule will continue next month with a return to Malaysia.

“ONE Championship 47: Unbreakable Warriors” is set for Sept. 2 at Stadium Negara in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The event will stream via online pay-per-view.

The card will be headlined by Malaysia’s own Ev Ting (11-3), who lives and trains in New Zealand, in a featherweight bout against Australia’s Rob Lisita (14-8).

“There is always a tremendous atmosphere and excitement in Kuala Lumpur each time ONE Championship comes to visit,” ONE Championship CEO Victor Cui stated. “This time, Malaysian MMA stars the likes of Ev Ting, Peter Davis, Ann Osman, Agilan Thani, Gianni Subba and Keanu Subba will all grace the ONE Championship cage in one night, ready to set the Stadium Negara ablaze with excitement and world-class mixed martial arts action.”

Also set for the card, Davis (10-4) meets Shannon Wiratchai (5-1) at featherweight; April Osenio (1-1) vs. Osman (4-2) in a women’s flyweight bout; and Gilberto Galvao (28-5-1) vs. Tatsuya Mizuno (15-11-1) at middleweight.

Lisita will be trying to get back on track after three straight losses dating back two years. After winning seven of eight fights, including his ONE Championship debut in May 2014, he was submitted by Eric Kelly at ONE Championship 18 in July 2014. Three months later, Marat Gafurov tapped him out with a rear-naked choke just 68 seconds into their fight. And after more than 18 months off, he returned in May, but was knocked out by Timofey Nastyukhin at ONE Championship 43.

Ting has won back-to-back fights and five of his past six, all under the ONE Championship banner. In January, he submitted Kelly with a third-round guillotine choke at ONE Championship 38 to build on a guillotine win over Honorio Banario in just 56 seconds at ONE Championship 32 this past October.
