Preview                

Singapore is the original home of ONE, and Khan and Sexton are expected to provide a fascinating clash of styles.

Khan, not to be confused with the British boxing superstar of the same name, will have the hometown crowd behind him. He is a Singapore Muay Thai champion, and his striking is dangerous and accurate.

He learned wrestling and martial arts in the U.S. after moving to Louisiana to attend high school.

Khan is a member of Evolve MMA and holds the record for the most knockouts in ONE since its inception.

Both Sexton and Khan are perfectly matched for a classic fight, and the pair faced off before their bout:

Sexton is from Costa Rica and is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu national champion. He is the heavier man, and his technical prowess will cause Khan problems if the Canada-born talent can close the distance.

Tarzan has previously defeated Roger Huerta, and he holds a tap-out win over Eddie Ng in 2015, proving his big-fight mentality.

Sexton's rear naked choke could be the deciding factor on Friday. Khan will desire a quick finish to the fight, and he will need to lay combinations early to facilitate victory.

This contest is finely balanced. Khan is 13 years younger than his opponent, and the Singaporean's youth and energy should carry him to victory.
