Fans were treated to a night of exhilarating action, culminating in a much anticipated rematch between Philippines’ first MMA world champion, Honorio Banario and Koji Oishi for the One FC Featherweight World Championship.

CEO of One Fighting Championship, Victor Cui, stated “One FC: Moment of Truth was a monumental night for ONE FC and caps off a record-breaking 2013. The audience in the MOA Arena was on the edge of their seats the entire night as they witnessed jaw-dropping knockouts and slick submissions. You will not believe what we have lined up for 2014 and I can’t wait to share the exciting news in the near future!”

The main event began tentatively as the fighters were cautious of their opponent in this high-stakes bout. Oishi landed several significant strikes in the second round, and finished the job in the third with a right hook.
