It was Japan versus China in the main event of ONE Samurai 2, which arrived on Saturday at the EBARA WAVE Arena Ota in Tokyo, Japan.
The ONE SAMURAI Featherweight Kickboxing Tournament quarterfinals comprised a large part of the action, with the tournament winner eventually getting a crack at champion Superbon.
One of those quarterfinal bouts was the night’s main event, where ex-ONE interim featherweight kickboxing champ Masaaki Noiri faced Chinese rival Liu Mengyang for the second time. Mengyang had picked up the victory in the pair’s first meeting two years prior.
