Eduard Folayang takes on Pieter Buist in the co-main feature of ONE: Fire and Fury at Mall of Asia Arena on January 31.
Folayang was originally scheduled to face Pakistan's Ahmed Mujtaba, but the latter reportedly sustained an injury during training.
According to a report posted on ONE Championship's official website, Buist is coming off back-to-back victories over Kota Shimoishi last May and Antonio Caruso in October.
Folayang is looking to a second straight win after beating Amarsanaa Tsogookhuu via technical decision.

However, a win won't come easy as Buist boasts of an impressive knockout ratio, having finished off 11 of 16 opponents he has beaten.
ONE: Fire and Fury will also feature four of the Team Lakay training partners, including Joshua Pacio, who will defend his strawweight crown against Alex Silva in the main event.
