I was at the Smart Araneta Coliseum this August 30, 12 – 1 pm to witness the ONE Fighting Championship™ (ONE FC) Official Weigh-In. It was open to the public and was attended by the media and fellow bloggers.
The event started with the 2 round girls coming out for photo ops and the public were invited to have a photo ops with them as well.
