ONE Championship made its US debut after years of teasing the moment.
The trilogy bout between former UFC champion Demetrious Johnson and Adriano Moraes headlined the card.
This was the third time the two fought, each holding a win over the other in previous meetings. Many felt this fight would determine who the best flyweight in the world is.
The first five minutes was fairly even, and similar to the other two fights. The fans were on the edges of their seats waiting for another KO … but from who this time. But then it went another three rounds and into the fifth and no KO came. Instead, they went to the scorecards after a close back-and-forth with Twitter split on who should win.
In the end the judges gave the fight to Johnson and he defends his title.
