ONE Championship is back in Manila for it's fourth and final event for 2019. The main event this time is for the ONE Strawweight title between two Filipino fighters. Reigning champion Joshua Pacio will defend his belt against Rene Catalan in a 5-round bout.
Former ONE champions Eduard Folayang and Geje Eustaquio will be in the ring to showcase their talent.
Here are the photos that I took during the event. Though I wasn't able to take snaps of some of the fights as they will not be used by my boss and writer for our site.

It was a great event as Filipino fighters won of their matches. Unfortunately due to traffic, I missed the first two fights.
Also bumped with former Japanese Idol Maria Ozawa who is also enjoying the event the former UFC Champion Miesha Tate in the press area.
Happy that 2019 will end with wins from Team Lakay and Joshua is still the Strawweight champ. Looking forward for the ONE Championship events next year.
