ONE Championship is now live from Japan with their first event in the country for more than four years.
In the main evevt, flyweight kickboxing champion Superlek Kiatmoo9 will put his strap on the line against three-division K-1 World Champion Takeru Segawa.
While the first round was somewhat tentative with both fighters finding their distance, the pacing heated up quickly. In the third round Takeru connected with vicious body shots that had Superlek hurt against the ropes.
The Thai reigning champion regained his composure, however, and worked his way back into the fight in the fourth round and began landing heavy knees and leg kicks. Takeru was on the offensive but Superlek connected with effective shots any time his opponent tried closing the distance.
After five hard fought rounds Superlek retained his title via unanimous decision.
