As a result, she will not be allowed to compete. In a social media post, she addressed her no-showing, explaining that she was on weight and wasn't ill, but cited "family issues" as the reason she won't be able to compete.[6] Meksen was replaced by Anna Jarronsak to face Stamp in a women's strawweight kickboxing bout.[7]

A ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Championship bout between current champion Superbon Singha Mawynn and former K-1 Super Welterweight Champion (also 2022 ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Grand Prix Champion) Chingiz Allazov headlined the event.[8] The pairing was originally booked for the co-main event at ONE on Prime Video 2 and ONE on Prime Video 5, but Allazov was forced to withdraw from the event due to an injury and Superbon was forced to withdraw due to an illness.[9][10]

Therefore, Superlek faced Daniel Puertas who was previously scheduled to meet Rodtang Jitmuangnon came up to for the vacant championship.[18]

A ONE Flyweight Submission Grappling World Championship bout between current champion Mikey Musumeci and promotional newcomer Sayan Khertek was expected to take place at the event.[19] However, Khertek forced to withdraw due to injury and was replaced by Gantumur Bayanduuren.[20]

A strawweight bout between Lito Adiwang and promotional newcomer Mansur Malachiev was expected to take place at the event.[24] However, Adiwang pulled out from the event due to recurring knee pain after a fight against Jeremy Miado at ONE: X. As a result, the bout was scrapped.[25]

A middleweight bout between former ONE Middleweight and Light Heavyweight World Champion Aung La Nsang and Fan Rong was expected to take place at the event.[26] However, Fan withdrew from the bout after having tested positive for COVID-19 and was replaced by Gilberto Galvão at a catchweight of 215 pounds.[27]

A bantamweight muay thai bout between Liam Harrison and Pongsiri P.K.Saenchai was expected to take place at the event.[16] They were previously expected to meet at ONE on TNT 2 but Harrison withdrew from the event after the COVID-19 situation in the United Kingdom that prevented from him traveling.[28] In turn, Harrison withdrew from the event due to injuries requiring surgery.
