The One Championship strawweight division saw its eighth champion crowned in Manila, Philippines, on Saturday.



In the co-headliner, Superlek and Panpayak collided for the eighth time in their respective careers in a muay thai clash. Both contestants put on a technical fight, and it was clear they knew each other pretty well. Still, neither man risked more than necessary to finish the match inside the distance. Ultimately, one cageside judge sided with Panpayak, while the other two saw it in favor of Superlek, who took home a split-decision victory. The overall score sees four wins for Panpayak, three for Superlek and one draw.



On the preliminary card, Jhanlo Mark Sangiao (5-0, 2-0 ONE) forced Anacleto Lauron (1-1, 0-1 ONE) to tap to a rear-naked choke at 1:48 of the first period in a 157-pound catchweight bout to take home a performance bonus; Tagir Khalilov annihilated Chorfah Tor Sangtiannoi with a perfectly-timed uppercut at 2:29 of Round 1 in their 135-pound muay thai contest to capture a performance of the night bonus; Lara Fernandez edged Daokongfah Banchamek thanks to a narrow split decision in their 115-pound muay thai clash; and after she failed to make weight, Meng Bo (20-6, 4-2 ONE) crushed Jennifer Olsim (6-4, 4-3 ONE) with a punch-elbows combination 24 seconds into their 131-pound catchweight matchup.
