ONE Championship CEO Chatri Sityodtong announced, four weeks before the event, that "Inside the Matrix" would feature four title bouts: Aung La Nsang would attempt to defend his Middleweight title for the fourth time against the undefeated Reinier De Ridder, Christian Lee would defend his Lightweight title for the first time against the undefeated prospect Iuri Lapicus, Martin Nguyen would defend his Featherweight title against Thanh Le, and Xiong Jingnan would defend her Strawweight strap in rematch with Tiffany Teo.
The event will be third in a row to take place in Singapore, following the relaxation of measures meant to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.

A women's atomweight bout between Ritu Phogat and Nou Srey Pov was announced as the sixth fight on the card.
