Bibiano Fernandes has felt right at home at featherweight in the past. And he feels plenty comfortable now as a bantamweight. Fernandes (14-3) this past month won ONE FC’s interim bantamweight title with a five-round unanimous decision victory over Koetsu Okazaki (8-3-1) at ONE FC 9 in the Philippines. He was the DREAM featherweight champ in 2009-2010, then dropped down to bantamweight after losing the belt to Hiroyuki Takaya . And he quickly proceeded to win that promotion’s title at 135. Now he awaits word on when he might fight current ONE FC champ Soo Chul Kim , who has been sidelined with a shoulder injury. In the meantime, would Fernandes ever consider going back up to featherweight
