ONE Welterweight Champion Ben Askren is scheduled to defend his title against Agilan Thangalapani (or Agilan Thani for short).

The two will fight at ONE Championship: Dynasty of Heroes on May 26 in Singapore.

For almost a decade, Askren has been undefeated in the sport of mixed martial arts.

After winning three fights on the regional circuit, Askren made his Bellator MMA debut. He immediately won a tournament and received his first shot at a championship.

Askren went on to win the Bellator Welterweight Championship. While in Bellator, he picked up notable wins over Lyman Good, Jay Hieron, Andrey Koreshkov, and current Bellator Welterweight Champion Douglas Lima.

After a contract dispute with the company, Askren left Bellator and joined ONE Championship.

Since joining ONE Championship in 2014, Askren has continued to remain dominant. Whether he’s fighting for a title or fighting at a catchweight, no one has been able to defeat Askren.

That all could change when Askren fight Thani. At just 21 years old, Thani is undefeated with six wins as a professional. Thani has managed to finish all of his opponents. He has four wins by submission, and two wins by knockout.

While Thani may be young, former UFC Middleweight Champion Rich Franklin likes the young man’s shot at becoming champion.

“Actually, I believe Agilan is a more well-rounded fighter than Ben, which begs the question, are those well-rounded skills enough to offset what Ben does very well?” Franklin said.

“There is no secret to Ben’s game plan. He will take his opponent down and smother with pressure and punches.

“I do not see Agilan stopping the takedown in the first two rounds. Though we should not discount Agilan’s ground game, Ben is a good pressure player, and smart enough to stay out of a submission. I believe Agilan needs to weather a wrestling storm and look to take Ben into the championship rounds. If he can keep the fight standing in those rounds, he could pull off the upset.”
