A welterweight division attraction has been added to One Championship On TNT IV according to ESPN as Shinya Aoki faces Sage Northcutt.

Aoki (46-9-0-1NC) enters the contest riding a three fight winning streak, defeating the trio of Honorio Banario, Kimihiro Eto and James Nakashima. Aoki is a multi-time One Lightweight Champion, ending those title reigns with losses to Eduard Folayang and Christian Lee. Aoki has suffered nine losses as a pro MMA fighter and seven of them came by way of KO/TKO.
