By Jason Kindschy - November 4, 2018

Bibiano Fernandes returns to preview his upcoming title defense against Kevin Belingon at ONE: Heart of the Lion in Singapore on November 9th. Fernandes was forced to take time off following a foot injury and Belingon was able to capture the interim title in Bibiano’s absence. Now “The Flash” looks to remind the world why he is the rightful champion and dispatch Belingon for a second time in this highly-anticipated rematch. We’ll also discuss Bibiano’s longtime friend and training partner Demetrious Johnson’s move to ONE Championship, and why Fernandes believes that the Asian market is the best place for “Mighty Mouse.”
