Oh made his promotional bow at ONE on Prime Video 2: Xiong vs. Lee III in October last year against Japanese veteran Ryogo “Kaitai” Takashi in the very same venue. But while “Spider” was pleased with the win, he would have preferred to maintain his high finishing rate – which stood at 92 percent.

So when Oh squares off this week, he’s hoping to add the Russian’s name to the list of fighters he has knocked out or submitted since he became a professional in January 2014. Oh told ONE Championship, “This time, my goal is to stand out. I haven’t shown you everything yet, so please pay attention.”

Going into that bout, Oh had scored a finish in all but one of his professional victories – earning five submissions and two knockouts – so registering a split-decision win never sat comfortably in his mind.
