Bibiano Fernandes to headline ONE Championship debut next month in Myanmar

ONE: "Kingdom of Warriors" will take place in Myanmar on July 18, 2015 and the card is being headlined by a bantamweight title fight between reigning champion Bibiano Fernandes and challenger Toni Tauru.

The event is set for the Thuwunna National Indoor Stadium in the country's capital of Yangon and sees Fernandes (17-3) fight for ONE Championship for the fifth time. The Brazilian is a former Dream 135- and 145-pound champion who has won his last nine fights.

Tauru (10-1-1) brings similar credentials into the cage because he is the reigning CWFC 135-pound champion and is riding a 10-fight winning streak with his last seven wins all coming inside the distance.
