UFC Fight Night 143 was not the only show of consequence during the weekend of Jan. 18-20. One Championship “Eternal Glory” on Friday in Jakarta, Indonesia, hosted a riveting title fight and some emphatic finishes, while two championship bouts highlighted CES MMA 54 on Saturday in Lincoln, Rhode Island. Those events provided the material for this edition of High Fives.
A NEW CHAMP … The One Championship headliner was a strawweight affair that pitted Japanese challenger Yosuke Saruta opposite reigning divisional titleholder Joshua Pacio of the Philippines.
