ONE 172: Takeru vs. Rodtang delivered the goods, and ended up being one of the most watched events in the history of the world's largest martial arts organization.

Ghazali, although not a part of the event, watched in awe as the greatest martial artists in the world took to the global stage to showcase their skills.
