23 February 2018 – Yangon, Myanmar: The largest global sports media property in Asian history, ONE Championship™ (ONE), had another memorable and historic evening in Yangon as the capacity crowd at the Thuwunna Indoor Stadium witnessed an amazing display of heart-pounding martial arts action. “ONE: Quest for Gold” featured a series of compelling bouts, punctuated by an unforgettable championship clash that left fans on the edge of their seats.
In the third bout in the main card, Daichi Takenaka, 28, of Japan and Dae Hwan Kim, 31, of South Korea battled it out in the bantamweight division. The highly-anticipated contest between the two ended in a disqualification.
