ONE Championship: Warriors Dream took place on November 17, 2018 in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Prior to the card, the organisation announced on November 8, 2018 that former UFC Bantamweight Champion, Miesha Tate had been appointed the Vice President of the company as it continues to make strides in the industry.
ONE Championships began life in July 2011 and the Singapore based promotion is now firmly established as one of the leading MMA promotions in the world, particularly around Asia where it tours it's events and is recognised as the number one organisation in that region.
The latest instalment of ONE's pay per view series boasted a mammoth 14 fights. Headlining the card was a Welterweight Championship fight for the vacant title between Zebaztian Kadestam vs Tyler McGuire after the previous champion, Ben Askren signed for UFC.
This headliner was an enticing battle between grappler and striker. The undefeated McGuire entered this fight in confident mood after 11 straight victories knowing his opponent would likely have little answer for his considerable wrestling skills, whereas Kadestam's best chance came with his ever improving striking ability.
The co-main event was another exciting contest on paper as legendary Kickboxer, Nieky Holzken went up against Cosmo Alexandre in a re-match eight years in the making.
There were four preliminary-card bouts on a stacked show and the results were as follows.

Bantamweight: Dae Hwan Kim defeated Zhao Zhi Kang via Unanimous Decision

Strawweight: Egi Rozten defeated Eddie Kalai via Knockout
The main card of ONE Championship: Warriors Dream began with a bang. Quite literally, as Egi Rozten smashed through Eddie Kalai in just over three minutes with a devastating Knockout.
The Indonesian native thrilled his homeland crowd with a highlight reel Knockout. He had to earn it though. Kalai, who is normally renowned for his striking surprised the hometown hero by immediately nailing a takedown and attempting a choke.
Rozten managed to escape and back on his feet nailed Kalai with a huge right hand which sent the Malaysian crumbling to the mat. Rozten moves to 5-1 while Kalai still awaits his first win in ONE Championship.
Strawweight: Eliptua Siregar defeated Muhammad Imran via Submission
Wow! What a performance by Eliptua Siregar. Siregar is a rising star and after this performance, it is obvious why. The man from Bali kept his perfect record intact as he moved to 3-0 in his young career.
In a display, demonstrating immense speed and power in manoeuvring his Pakistani into position for a brutal rear naked choke. Serigar has gone from a star in the making to a superstar of today.
72 Kilogram Catchweight: Anthony Engelen defeated Jimmy Yabo via Submission
Anthony Engelen came, saw and submitted Jimmy Yabo in double quick time. In just two and a half minutes in fact.
Engelen earned his second win a row and inflicted Yabo with a fifth straight loss. With just one win in the past five years, Yabo should consider whether his time as an MMA fighter is up.
Flyweight: Lerdsila Phuket Top Team defeated Sok Thy via Unanimous Decision
The big re-match from March of this year wherein Lerdsila won with via Split Decision was not so close this time around.
Lerdsila dominated from the get-go using his left-hand reach to jab away at Thy which enabled him to land leg kicks as well. Thy got his shots in but he didn't have the range of strikes his veteran opponent did. There is no doubt now who the better man is.
Strawweight: Hayato Suzuki defeated Pongsiri Mitsatit via Submission
Hayato Suziki. The next ONE Strawweight World Champion? Suzuki is one step closer to a title bout with Joshua Pacio, with an impressive first-round submission win over Pongsiri Mitsatit.
Suzuki used his world-class grappling ability to nullify Mitsatit's striking power. Taking Mitsatit down with a single leg takedown and then a sweep of his second leg, Suzuki locked in a rear naked choke for the dominating win.
Atomweight: Priscilla Hertati Lumban Gaol defeated Angeline Sabanal via Unanimous Decision
In front of her home crowd, Priscilla Hertati Lumban was roared on to victory as she dominated the striking exchanges with Angeline Sabanal.
The Filipino was not overawed by the partisan crowd and spent much of the fight trying to lock in submissions but could not sink one in.
Lumban smashed Sabanal to the canvas in the third and did plenty to earn the Decision victory.
78 Kilogram Catchweight: Nieky Holzken defeated Cosmo Alexandre via Knockout
Nieky Holzken looked every bit the Kickboxing legend in his rematch against Brazilian Cosmo Alexandre, stopping the fight with a big uppercut in the closing stages of the second round.
Holzken was super aggressive throughout the bout landing devastating strikes that cleaned Alexandre's clock. Alexandre truly had no answer to a superb performance by Holzken.
Welterweight Championship: Zebaztian Kadestam defeated Tyler McGuire via Knockout
Zebaztian Kadestam is the new ONE Welterweight Champion! Upsetting the odds, Kadestam inflicted the first defeat of American, Tyler McGuire's entire career with a final round Knockout with less than 30 seconds remaining on the clock.
Smashing his foe with a huge right hand, Kadestam followed up with a brutal knee to put an exclamation point on an incredible performance in a fight which he had dominated from the outset.
A hugely impressive performance from a deserving new champion.
