On Friday night (Friday morning in the North America), ONE Championship took over Manila’s Mall of Asia Arena with the stacked ONE: Conquest of Champions card.
This ONE: Conquest of Champions bill was topped by a heavyweight title fight between long-absent Filipino-American champion Brandon Vera, and debuting Cage Warriors champion Mauro Cerilli.
The co-main event of the evening, meanwhile, saw Filipino hero Eduard Folayang battle Singaporean finisher Amir Khan for the lightweight title that was vacated by former two-division champion Martin Nguyen earlier this year.
Elsewhere on the card, we saw appearances from names like ONE staple Honorio Banario, debuting former LFA champ James Nakashima, and Armen Petroysan, brother of kickboxing icon Giorgio Petroysan.
The card airs free and full on the ONE Super App.
Here are the results of this finish-filled card (refresh for updates), along with some highlights where applicable:
