ONE Championship: Holzken vs Compton Preview at Big Bang 2

ONE Championship brings you ONE: Big Bang II, a previously recorded event, on Friday, December 11, with a stellar line-up.
Perhaps, however, there is no better bout on the card than the co-main event featuring ONE Super Series kickboxing action between two lightweight contenders.
#1-ranked lightweight contender Nieky "The Natural" Holzken takes on #5-ranked Elliot "The Dragon" Compton.
Holzken's record sells itself. He has achieved success everywhere he has been, but he still chases the elusive ONE Lightweight Kickboxing World Championship after ten hard rounds with Regian Eersel.
Compton will try to usurp his position and move up to be the next challenger for Eersel's gold.
Ranked #5 in the division, Compton is in a prime position to play spoiler for Holzken's bid. Knocking off one of the most accomplished and famous faces in the sport will put a feather in his cap as he looks toward a potential title tilt.
The Aussie has had his eyes set on Holzken for years, and now he gets his long-awaited shot.
