18 May 2018 – Singapore: The largest global sports media property in Asian history, ONE Championship™ (ONE), hosted another memorable and historic evening in its home-base of Singapore as the capacity crowd at the Singapore Indoor Stadium witnessed an amazing display of heart-pounding martial arts action. “ONE: Unstoppable Dreams” featured a series of compelling bouts, punctuated by three unforgettable championship clashes that left fans on the edge of their seats.

In one of the three ONE Super Series bouts, Yodsanklai IWE Fairtex of Thailand aced his maiden ONE Championship assignment with flying colors. He toppled Dutch-Congolese powerhouse Chris Ngimbi in their three-round kickboxing catchweight collision.
