It's not crazy to say that ONE Championship's bantamweight king Bibiano 'The Flash' Fernandes can beat any fighter in his weight class anytime, anywhere.
The former jiu-jitsu world champion has effectively translated his grappling skills into an MMA cage. Ever since debuting in ONE, he has dominated its 145-pound division like no other.
The current ONE bantamweight champion has the most title defenses not just in the division, but in the promotion with seven. 'The Flash' has a penchant for drowning his opponents on the ground with aggressive jiu-jitsu attacks and heavy top pressure.
