ONE 173 Results — MMA Highlights from Superbon vs. Noiri Card
ONE Championship packed a little bit of everything into ONE 173: Superbon vs. Noiri.

Flyweight king doubles down
Yuya Wakamatsu kept the belt and the aura, corralling Joshua Pacio and putting him away early in Round 2. It wasn’t a lucky punch; it was pressure layered with smart exits and quick re-entries. Fight page: Wakamatsu vs. Pacio.

Lee reminds everyone what “finisher” looks like
Christian Lee turned a clean read into a clean stoppage, halting unbeaten Alibeg Rasulov in Round 2. Once Lee found the lane, the pace spiked and the ref had seen enough. Fight page: Lee vs. Rasulov.

Hiroyuki Tetsuka shelled the midsection and folded a legend: a body-shot TKO of Shinya Aoki to open eyes across the division. Fight page: Tetsuka vs. Aoki.
