Bengaluru, March 10: ONE Championship is stopping at nothing to make ONE X the biggest extravaganza in the organization's history, and in celebration of its first ten years, the world's largest martial arts organization has added another thrilling contest to its already stellar fight roster.

Indian striker Asha Roka will compete against American atomweight Alyse Anderson on Saturday (March 26) at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

The "Knockout Queen" Roka is an undefeated boxer who won a bronze medal at the Junior World Championships. After starting her boxing career at age 11, she became a professional national boxing champion in 2016.

A year later, the Positron Gym mainstay transitioned to mixed martial arts by joining the Super Fight League (SFL). Roka earned four victories at SFL, all of which were first-round finishes. Aside from her devastating striking power, two of those wins were by submission.

However, she is still seeking her first win inside the Circle after dropping matches against Gina "Conviction" Iniong and former two-sport ONE World Champion Stamp Fairtex.

Given the magnitude of ONE's tenth-anniversary show, Roka is honored to compete on such a prestigious card.

"ONE X is a huge event, and I am glad to be a part of an event of this magnitude," Roka said. "I have lost two fights, but I am still returning to the Circle, which is a big thing. I must win this fight, so the pressure is there. I am working hard to win this match."

Meanwhile, "Lil' Savage" Anderson is also a rising star in mixed martial arts and currently has a 5-2 career record, with three of those wins coming from early stoppages. After competing in Total Warrior Combat and Invicta FC, the 27-year-old competitor from Michigan joined ONE Championship last year.

But just like Roka, she is seeking her first triumph at ONE after dropping her debut to Itsuki "Android 18" Hirata at ONE: Empower last September.

Aside from the Roka-Anderson clash, it will be a busy day for the atomweight women at ONE X, as Denice "Lycan Queen" Zamboanga will get her rematch against Ham Seo Hee. Hirata will also compete against Jihin "Shadow Cat" Radzuan.

Moreover, Danielle Kelly makes her promotional debut in a submission grappling match against Japanese veteran Mei "V.V" Yamaguchi.

Finally, in the main event, ONE Women's Atomweight World Champion "Unstoppable" Angela Lee defends her crown against ONE Women's Atomweight World Grand Prix Champion Stamp Fairtex.
