Reigning ONE Strawweight MMA World Champion Joshua Pacio will test himself at a higher weight class when he challenges ONE Flyweight MMA World Champion Yuya Wakamatsu for his belt at ONE 173: Superbon vs. Noiri, which emanates from Tokyo’s Ariake Arena on Sunday, November 16. The Filipino will attempt to become a two-division titleholder, while Wakamatsu will make his first title defense on home soil.
Opportunity Too Good For Pacio To Pass Up
Pacio, who owns a 23-4 career slate, acknowledged that defending his strawweight crown remained his primary objective before ONE Championship presented this unexpected opportunity to capture flyweight gold.
