ONE FC 13, also known as “ONE FC: Moment of Truth,” took place yesterday live from MOA Arena in Manila, Philippines.<\/p>\n

The packed crowd in attendance were treated to a night of thrilling fights, which culminated in a much anticipated rematch between the Philippines’ first ever MMA world champion Honorio Banario (8-3 MMA), taking on rating ONE FC Featherweight champion Koji Oishi (25-9-10 MMA) in the evenings main event.<\/p>\n

The Oishi vs. Banario rematch started slowly, as both fighters proved very tentative in the opening round. However, in the second round, Oishi was able to put together some combinations, which resulted in a few significant strikes landed.<\/p>\n

As the\u00a0third round began, it was clear that\u00a0Oishi’s strategy was to push the pace and\u00a0engage Banario more often. As a result,\u00a0he\u00a0was able to land a\u00a0right hand that staggered Banario, and a second which sent him crashing to the floor. Oishi followed that up\u00a0with more punches from the top,\u00a0before the ref stopped the bout at the 1:43 mark of the third-round. With the win, Oishi not only retained his ONE FC featherweight title,\u00a0but also\u00a0extended his unbeaten streak to five, going 4-0-1 in that stretch.<\/p>\n

The co-main event featured 2 of ONE FC’s best bantamweight fighters, as Kevin Belingon took on undefeated mixed martial artist\u00a0Dave Aranda. The\u00a0pair of\u00a0135ers engaged quickly, exchanging punches in the center of the cage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

About half way through the opening round, Belingon (12-3 MMA) was able to land a vicious left hook, which sent Aranda (9-1 MMA) crashing to the canvas. The loss\u00a0served as\u00a0Aranda’s first\u00a0career defeat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

CEO of ONE Fighting Championship, Victor Cui, made the following statement\u00a0after the event:<\/p>\n

“‘ONE FC: Moment\u00a0of\u00a0Truth’ 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!”<\/em><\/p>\n
