Video: ONE Championship’s best fights of 2017
The Singapore-based ONE Championship hosted 14 events in 2017, visiting China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines and Thailand, in addition to hosting events in their home base. Now, the promotion is sharing highlights from some of its best contests in a year-end clip.
In the video above, check out Bibiano Fernandes’ sixth consecutive title defense from August’s ONE Championship 58, May Ooi’s incredible comeback win over Ann Osman two weeks later at August’s ONE Championship 59 and Martin Nguyen’s championship-winning knockout from the same night.
Fernandes (21-3) is currently ranked No. 7 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA bantamweight rankings and carries a 13-fight winning streak that dates back to 2011. Fernandes claimed ONE Championship’s undisputed bantamweight title in 2013 and has since defended the belt six times, including four stoppages.
Ooi (4-2), a former Olympic swimmer, survived an early knockdown against Ann Osman (5-4) that could have easily ended the fight but quickly battled back to her feet and ended up sinking in a rear-naked choke shortly after, ending the wild battle in the opening round.
Later that night, in the evening’s main event, Nguyen (10-1) handed a then-undefeated Marat Gafurov his first professional loss, claiming the ONE Championship featherweight title in the process.
ONE Championship returns to action on Jan. 20 for “ONE Championship 67: Kings of Courage” at Jakarta Convention Center in Indonesia.
