ONE Championship

Indonesian standout Stefer Rahardian is in the mood to get back on the winning track in his homeland at ONE: CONQUEST OF HEROES on 22 September.

After achieving a remarkable nine-bout undefeated streak to start his professional mixed martial arts career, Rahardian went the distance with Rene “The Challenger” Catalan of the Philippines this past July, yielding to the multi-titled Wushu practitioner.

Japanese Muay Thai star Yukinori Ogasawara’s ONE Championship debut was nothing short of spectacular.

The former WBC Japan Super Bantamweight Muay Thai Champion went through a bit of adversity in the early moments of his ONE Super Series matchup against Brazilian stalwart Rui Botelho, but he managed to land a well-placed spinning back elbow in the second round that delivered a highlight-reel worthy knockout victory at ONE: PINNACLE OF POWER in Macau this past June.

Riding high on a five-bout winning streak, former ONE Featherweight World Champion Honorio “The Rock” Banario appears that he is inches away from securing a world title shot in the stacked lightweight division of ONE Championship.

At ONE: BEYOND THE HORIZON on 8 September in Shanghai, China, Banario will look to record his sixth consecutive victory when he faces top Singaporean lightweight contender Amir Khan in the co-main event.

It is instinctive for people to look for someone to idolize, look up to and imitate. Someone from whom they draw strength and inspiration from, to go on with their lives towards where they want to go and what they want to be.

This is the reason why people look up to the rich and famous, brilliant celebrities who grace the celluloid movie screens, remarkable athletes who have made names and millions, wealthy business tycoons, and the list goes on and on.
