ONE FC: Return of Warriors will take place from the Stadium Putra in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
ONE FC CEO Victor Cui stated on the official release, “I’m beyond excited to kick off a packed out schedule of events in 2013 at the state-of-the-art Stadium Putra in Malaysia! Eric Kelly vs Honorio Banario for the ONE FC Featherweight World Championship Title could possibly be the most demanded fight in Asian MMA history and I know the fans cannot wait to watch these two champions clash in the ONE FC cage.”
The undefeated Kelly (9-0) has finished eight of his opponents with seven wins coming by submission.
