A ONE Strawweight World Championship unification bout and trilogy between current champion Joshua Pacio and former champion (also a current interim champion) Jarred Brooks was scheduled to serve as the co-main event, but was elevated as the event's headliner.[5][6] The pairing previously met at ONE 164, where Brooks captured the title by unanimous decision.[7] The second time met at ONE 166 in March 2024, which Pacio capture back the title by disqualification.[8]

A ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Championship bout between current champion Jonathan Haggerty (also former ONE Bantamweight and Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion) and former K-1 Lightweight Champion Wei Rui was originally scheduled to headline the event, but the bout was shifted to the co-main event instead.[9][6]

A featherweight bout between former ONE Featherweight and Lightweight Champion Martin Nguyen and Shamil Gasanov is scheduled at the event.[10] The pair was previously scheduled to meet at ONE Fight Night 7 in February 2023, but Gasanov was forced to withdraw due to an infection that stemmed from an injury.[11]

Zayed Alkatheeri and Jarrah Alhazza were reported to scheduled at this event in a flyweight submission grappling bout.[12] However, Alhazza was pulled out from the event and was replaced by Mohammad Hilal Ahmad Abu Rumuh in a openweight bout.[6]
