ASIA'S biggest MMA organization, ONE Championship, stages a blockbuster MMA show in Manila that features the cream of the crop in Filipino MMA.
ONE Championship - "Age of Domination" features Filipino stars Brandon Vera, Mark Striegl and Honorio Banario on Dec. 2 at the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila.
Vera defends his ONE Championship heavyweight crown against unbeaten Japanese grappler Hideki Sekine in the main event.
Vera, once one of the best heavyweights in the UFC, had an impressive ONE Championship debut in 2014 with a first round stoppage over Philippine-based Ukranian Igor Subora. He then won the vacant heavyweight belt a year after with a first round knockout over Paul Cheng.

The 39-year-old Vera is 14-7, while Sekine is unbeaten with a 7-0 slate.
