In the second stanza, Oishi landed a right hook that dropped Banario and silenced the crowd. Oishi instinctively jumped on his foe and finished the fight with several punches. Oishi was crowned the new ONE FC Featherweight World Champion.
The fans in attendance at MOA Arena also witnessed history as Masakatsu Uedawas crowned the first ever ONE FC Bantamweight Grand Prix champion. The bout featured back-and-forth action that earned it fight-of-the-night honors. Ueda nearly finished the Filipino MMA fighter Belingon in both the first and second round with submission attempts, and imposed his superior grappling skills against the explosive Belingon in all three rounds to earn a unanimous decision victory.
The other Filipino contingents: Rey Docyogen, Eduard Folayang, Geje Eustaquio and Ryan Diaz also lose their fights.
The Filipino crowd left SM Mall of Asia Arena disappointed with the results with our home grown fighters not taking a single win at the One FC: Rise to Power event.
The striking styles were no match to the grappling styles of the opponents making the Pinoys more on the defensive most of the times.
