After the bout, Aung La then took the time to call out ONE Middleweight World Champion, Vitaly Bigdash. ?We did it guys! We did it,? said Aung La. ?Bigdash, you have my belt! We want that belt!? Former flyweight champion Adriano ?Mikinho? Moraes of Brazil successfully returned to the ONE Cage after losing the title in his last bout, defeating charismatic opponent Eugene Toquero of the Philippines.

Lee turned in a masterful performance, completely dominating opponent Anthony ?The Archangel? Engelen with vicious strikes and solid ground control.

Lethwei golden belt champions Kyal Linn Aung and Thway Thit Aung graced the international MMA scene, putting on an exciting performance inside the ONE Cage.
