ONE Samurai 1 Finalized in Tokyo as Takeru Faces Rodtang II in Farewell Title Fight

Takeru’s retirement turns the Tokyo showcase into a national moment.

Overview

  • Official weigh-ins and hydration tests are complete with the full card set, and two bouts will proceed at catchweight after Taimu Hisai and Ritu Phogat missed weight.
  • The main event pits Japanese icon Takeru Segawa against Rodtang Jitmuangnon for the interim flyweight kickboxing title in Takeru’s final fight, with the rematch airing on ONE pay-per-view and on Fuji TV in Japan.
  • Three more World Titles top the bill across disciplines as Yuya Wakamatsu meets Avazbek Kholmirzaev for the flyweight MMA crown, Nadaka Yoshinari faces Songchainoi Kiatsongrit for atomweight Muay Thai, and Jonathan Haggerty defends the bantamweight kickboxing strap against Yuki Yoza after returning from a torn rotator cuff.
  • Marat Grigorian’s rescheduled clash with Kaito Ono revives a rivalry that began with a 2025 weight-miss cancellation and could push the winner toward a shot at Superbon’s featherweight kickboxing title.
  • Rising names add heat to the lineup with Johan “Jojo” Ghazali vowing a kill-or-be-killed approach against Shimon Yoshinari and unbeaten Hyu Iwata testing himself against veteran Taiki Naito.
