ONE: Ascent To Power was always going to be a historic night, but only the most optimistic would have ever have predicted that it would deliver such incredible scenes and fantastic fights.

All eyes were, of course, set on the main event as 19-year-old Angela Lee battled Mei Yamaguchi to becomes ONE's inaugural atomweight champion. Despite Lee having her hometown crowd behind her and the majority of the media spotlight heading into the fight, it was actually the veteran Yamaguchi who was the favourite with the bookmakers before the two women touched gloves last evening.

While many were expecting a spectacle, no one could have predicted the incredible fight that unfolded as both woman well and truly gave everything they had. After five gruelling rounds of non-stop, back and forth action, Singapore’s “Unstoppable” Angela Lee overcame a spirited performance from Japanese MMA veteran Mei “V.V” Yamaguchi and get the unanimous decision from the judges.

Lee and Yamaguchi traded heavy blows and showcased high-level, tactical grappling skills all throughout the fight to the delight of a packed Singapore Indoor Stadium crowd. Yamaguchi started out very strong in the early going, but Lee came on late and dominated the latter rounds with her ground game. With it likely at two rounds a piece heading into the final five minutes, it was Lee who dug deep, doing just enough to earn the unanimous decision victory and create history as ONE's first ever female title holder.

In the evening’s co-main event, Roger Gracie of the world-renowned Gracie fighting family of Brazil, dispatched previously unbeaten opponent Michal Pasternak of Poland with ease, securing a deep arm-triangle choke to end the bout and claim the inaugural ONE Light Heavyweight World Championship. After a brief striking exchange, Gracie took Pasternak to the ground from the clinch. Pasternak tried his best to escape but within moments the choke was on and Pasternak was put to sleep.

In other action, Singapore’s Christian “The Warrior” Lee continued his meteoric rise through the ranks with his fourth straight stoppage victory with a sensational performance against the Philippines’ Cary “The Prince” Bullos winning by submission.

Another Singapore native, Benedict Ang, also put in a stunning performance, pummeling his opponent, Jimmy “The Silencer” Yabo of the Philippines, from the mounted crucifix position to force a verbal submission.
