Aoki vs. Northcutt Rematch
Shinya Aoki and Sage Northcutt are set to face off once again in a highly anticipated rematch. The announcement came from ONE Championship on Wednesday, revealing that the fight will take place at ONE Championship 165 on January 28, 2024, at the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan.
Originally scheduled for ONE on TNT 4 in April 2021, the bout had to be postponed due to Northcutt’s recovery from COVID-19. Now, both fighters are ready to step back into the cage and settle the score.
This will be Aoki’s first appearance in a mixed martial arts bout since his knockout loss to Saygid Izagakhmaev at ONE Championship 163 in November 2022. The veteran fighter is eager to bounce back and secure his first victory in nearly three years.
On the other hand, Northcutt has only competed twice since leaving the UFC in 2018. His ONE debut in May 2019 ended in a devastating knockout by Cosmo Alexandre. However, he made a triumphant return after a four-year hiatus with a 39-second submission win over Ahmed Mujtaba at ONE Fight Night 10 in May.
The stage is set for an epic showdown between Aoki and Northcutt. Fans can expect fireworks as these two fighters go head-to-head once again, leaving it all in the cage.
