Filipino MMA fighter Honorio Banario will be facing a different opponent on April 21 at the ONE Kings of Destiny fight card at Mall of Asia Arena.

Banario (11-6) will now face Czech fighter Jarsolav Jartim (8-5) instead of Rob Lisita, who pulled out of the match due to personal reasons.

The Team Lakay striker is on a three-match win streak with his latest triumph a submission victory over Rajinder Singh Meena at ONE Age of Domination that also happened at MOA Arena.

This will be the debut of Jartim in ONE Championship, a contrast to Banario, who has been with the promotion for five years with his first appearance coming at ONE FC 2 Battle of Heroes.

Singaporean Christian Lee will also face a different opponent on the card after Keanu Subba suffered an in-camp injury.

Lee (5-1) will now take on Chinese Wan Jian Ping (2-1) in their bantamweight bout.
