A new era of MMA was the promise made by One Championship with the event it held this Sunday, March 31 in Tokyo.
The card, which had Shinya Aoki winning via submission for the lightweight belt, also featured three other title fights and two former UFC athletes making their debuts with the Asian organization.
The most dominant flyweight champion in the UFC, Demetrious Johnson debuted using a beautiful, peculiar guillotine.
BJJ world champion Bibiano Fernandes won by disqualification when his opponent punched the back of his head; and Garry Tonon, representing Renzo Gracie Academy, achieved a TKO win.
