Bibiano Fernandes is the ONE FC interim 135-pound champion and there has been talk of him moving up to featherweight for a super fight with Shinya Aoki , but next on the agenda for the Brazilian appears to be a unification bout in October or November. “I will be fighting in fall. I’m not sure who I am fighting next, but considering I am the interim champion, I’m assuming that a fight with Soo Chul Kim would be my next step,” said Fernandes. I’ve watched his fights. He’s a tough guy, but I need to feel him in the ring to decide how good he is.” One swing of Chris Weidman’s left hand put proposed UFC superfights on hold, but ONE FC has a potentially huge match-up of its own with its two best pound-for-pound fighters, both capable of competing at featherweight. Aoki (33-6-1) is on track to make his 145-pound debut later this year, while Fernandes (14-3) has already proved he can compete in the division by beating four separate opponents to win the Dream Featherweight Grand Prix in 2009. A featherweight match-up between these two would truly be a battle for pound-for-pound supremacy in Asia and Fernandes is not ruling it out

ONE FC’s Bibiano Fernandes: Back to 145? Maybe. But flyweight? ‘No way.’

BAD MMA News — Sat, 22 Jun 2013 17:45:00 +0000

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
