A strategic partnership with the moribund DREAM promotion has evolved into a talent pipeline for ONE FC.
The promotion on Tuesday announced the signing of DREAM’s former featherweight and current bantamweight champion, Bibiano Fernandes, and the Japanese promotion’s lightweight champion, Shinya Aoki also has been added to ONE FC’s online roster.
Fernandes is set to make his ONE FC debut at an event, “ONE FC: Pride of Nations,” scheduled for Aug. 31 in Manila, Phillipines. Aoki’s debut is not yet confirmed.
