The world’s best martial artists will electrify Macau once again, as ONE Championship puts two World Title bouts at the top of a stacked card at ONE: PINNACLE OF POWER.

In the headlining spot, ONE Flyweight World Champion Adriano Moraes (17-2) rematches interim titleholder Geje Eustaquio (10-6) to crown the undisputed best flyweight in the world. The co-main event is just as epic, as China’s first-ever mixed martial arts World Champion, Xiong Jing Nan (14-1), defends her ONE Women’s Strawweight World Title against top-ranked Argentine powerhouse Laura Balin (10-2).

The rivals from Brazil and the Philippines, respectively, were the first athletes to compete for the belt in September 2014. Now, almost four years later, they are the division’s World Champion and Interim World Champion, and are set to clash again.

On Saturday, 23 June, at ONE: PINNACLE OF POWER in Macau, China, the pair will do battle for the second time in a five-round main event to determine the undisputed best flyweight in the world.

Before they step into the cage, learn more about what brought them to this point, as well as the story of one of the most exciting and competitive divisions in mixed martial arts.

The first time these men met was for the inaugural ONE Flyweight World Title in September 2014. It was a competitive match-up, but Moraes used his BJJ wizardry to submit the Filipino via guillotine choke in the second round to take the gold.

Since that contest almost four years ago, both men have gone from success to success, and continued to sharpen their skill sets. Both will arrive in Macau with the confidence brought on by possessing a world title belt, as well as greatly improved ability in the cage.

Event is live now in a ring.

I hope ONE eventually decides to just stick with the ring.

With this event in a ring, hopefully they may have decided that.

They probably only will use the ring in some events though 

To be honest I thought Morases would be the victor that was a bit of an upset 

Jingnan Xian is certainly one of the best female fighters in Asian mma.

Yeah, Moraes was upset today. I wasn't expecting that either.
