Background
This will be the second visit of ONE FC to the Philippines, after the successful August 2012 event held at the Araneta Coliseum. The event will hold the first title defense for ONE FC Featherweight Champion Honorio Banario against Japanese contender Koji Oishi. The original matchup for the title was against Korean top contender Bae Young Kwon, but was scrapped due to the Kwon commitment with the local military service.
