TOKYO, Japan — Kevin Belingon fell short in his bid to regain the ONE Bantamweight World Championship belt after falling once again against Bibiano Fernandes in ONE: Century Part II here on Sunday.

In their fourth bout against each other, Fernandes came out on top after catching the Team Lakay fighter in a rear naked choke with 2:16 left in the second round.

Belingon now has a 1-3 record against the Brazilian.
