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.
