Roger Huerta vs. Christian Holley joins ONE FC 19's championship quadruple-header
Next month’s “ONE FC 19: Reign of Champions†event, which includes four title fights, has some new non-championship additions.
Included is the return of Roger Huerta.
ONE FC 19 takes place Aug. 29 at Dubai World Trade Centre in the United Arab Emirates. The entire event streams as an online pay-per-view in North America.
Huerta (21-7-1), the former UFC fighter (and “Sports Illustrated†cover athlete), is just 1-4 since his UFC run and looks to snap a four-fight losing skid.

Also on the card, former boxing champ Ana Julaton (1-0) looks to build off her successful pro MMA debut, which came via TKO over Aya Saeid Saber at ONE FC 15, to take on kickboxer and K-1 world champion Irina Mazepa (0-0).
Also on the card is a featherweight bout between undefeated Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Herbert Burns (3-0) and Japanese Shooto vet Hiroshige Tanaka (10-1), who’s won seven straight bouts.
