The weigh-ins for Friday’s ONE FC 19 are in the books, and the nine-fight card is official in Dubai, including the three title fights at the top of the bill. In the main event, the lightweight title is on the line as Shinya Aoki (35-6) takes on Kamal Shalorus (9-3-2). Both fighters were on the mark, with champion Aoki coming in at 155 pounds and WEC and UFC veteran Shalorus two pounds under at 153. The co-feature sees former Bellator MMA champion Ben Askren (13-0), one of the world’s top welterweights, get his first shot at a ONE FC title as he takes on champ Nobutatsu Suzuki (11-1-2) for the belt. Both fighters were 170 pounds on the nose, with Askren needing the towel to hit the weight.
