ONE Championship made a plethora of memories in its first trip to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

This past Friday, 6 September, the world’s largest martial arts organization electrified the Phu Tho Indoor Stadium with ONE: IMMORTAL TRIUMPH, which served as both the company’s inaugural event in the country and the first all-ONE Super Series card.

Nong-O Gaiyanghadao capped the historical show by defeating Brice “The Truck” Delval via split decision to retain the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Championship.

Also, Kohei “Momotaro” Kodera set the record for the fastest knockout in ONE Super Series history at 41 seconds, and several Vietnamese heroes displayed their phenomenal skills for the hometown crowd.

You can check out all the results and highlights here, but first, relive this sensational night of martial arts action by looking at some of the best pictures captured from ringside.
