MANILA, Philippines—Danny Kingad has a chance to leap up the standings for a ONE Flyweight Championship shot next month in ONE Fight Night 7: Lineker vs. Andrade II at Bangkok, Thailand.

Already the third best fighter in the flyweight division, Kingad can move closer to contending for the strap if he wins against rising Indonesian grappler Eko Roni Saputra.
