The promotion announced the matchup on Tuesday. The event takes place at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore, and is available via streaming pay-per-view in the United States.

Aoki has won nine straight fights since a first-round TKO defeat to Eddie Alvarez at Bellator 66 in April 22. Aoki submitted Kotetsu Boku to capture the promotion’s 155-pound strap in 2013 and has since defended the belt successfully against Kamal Shalorus and Koji Ando. Most recently, “Tobikan Judan” scored a first-round stoppage of Kazushi Sakuraba at Rizin FF “Saraba no Utake” on Dec. 29.

The 32-year-old Folayang enters the matchup having won four of his last five bouts under the One Championship banner. Thus far in 2016, the Filipino lightweight has garnered back-to-back decision triumphs over Adrian Pang and Tetsuya Yamada.
