This day in ONE Championship history: ONE Dynasty of Heroes took place

On this day in ONE Championship history, one of the biggest pay-per-view events the promotion has ever produced, ONE: Dynasty of Heroes. The highyl anticipated event took place on May 27, 2017.

The event premiered live under the brilliant lights of the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore.

Here's a reminder of the thrilling event to highlight and reminisce about an action-packed night full of knockouts, upsets, two title defenses and finishes.

Headlining the main event was ONE Women’s atomweight World Champion Angela Lee, who marked her second title defense against the two-time Muay Thai world champion, Istela Nunes.

The extraordinary pair battled it out viciously in the opening round. However, it was 'The Unstoppable' Angela Lee who came out on top with a slick anaconda choke in round 2. It was a career defining moment for the reigning champion.

ONE Championship captured this historic moment for the fans to witness.

The co-main event was anything but lackluster. MMA wrestling superstar and UFC pioneer Ben 'Funky' Askren put his welterweight belt on the line against undefeated Malaysian challenger Agilan 'Alligator' Thani.

The two-time NCAA Wrestling champion shocked the world by masterfully securing a crucifix early on, outclassing the 21-year-old Malaysian challenger via arm-triangle choke in the opening round.

A year after the bout, Agilan Thani had a throwback picture to share:

"Tomorrow onwards will be a year since I faught for the title against @benaskren and im still learning from it. Thanks a lot for the lesson funky ben [...] u tha man!"

To supplement Dynasty of Heroes, the long-awaited and dream-matchup between Shinya Aoki and Garry Tonon finally came to fruition. The Japanese icon returned to the circle in a grappling super-fight with American jiu-jitsu black belt, Garry 'The Lion Killer' Tonon.

Aoki was the aggressor from the start. He controlled the overwhelming majority of the bout with several near submissions. However, Tonon weathered the storm and eventually secured a heel hook, tapping the submission specialist in the final minutes of the bout.
