Bibiano Fernandes Says He Loves Manila Like Home

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Reigning ONE Bantamweight World Champion Bibiano “The Flash” Fernandes may have been born and raised in Brazil, but the ONE Championship titleholder feels deep in his heart that Manila is his home away from home.

Fernandes (19-3) is the promotion’s top bantamweight talent and is one of the best fighters in the world. He will take on Filipino-Australian sensation Reece “Lightning” McLaren (9-3) in the co-main event of ONE: AGE OF DOMINATION which takes place Friday, 2 December at the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines.

Fernandes has competed four times so far in Manila. His stint this upcoming ONE Fight Night will be his fifth. The Brazilian says making his ONE Championship debut in Manila was a special moment in his career.

“First time I went to Manila I thought about Muhammad Ali, the boxer, and that I fought in the same arena he fought,” said Fernandes, who debut for ONE at the Araneta Coliseum. “For me that was a big thing. Ali fought there and I fought the same place as him. So for that reason, fighting in Manila is very special for me.”

Fernandes began his tenure with ONE Championship back in 2012 at the event dubbed “Pride of a Nation”. It was ONE’s fifth show overall since establishing the promotion in 2011. Fernandes at the time was being positioned as a superstar in Manila.

Vikings Season 4 Returns With New Episodes This December On History

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Vikings, the critically acclaimed historical drama on History, returns for its fourth season with all-new episodes starting December 1, Thursday at 9:00 pm.

The series, inspired by the tales of exploring Norsemen of early medieval Scandinavia, follows the exploits of legendary Viking chieftain Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel) as he leads his army of Viking warriors in daring raids and conquests of most of England and the rest of the modern world. With the help of his brother Rollo (Clive Standen), Ragnar has amassed a great deal of fortune no Viking could ever imagine. But his ambition has also made enemies on all sides that will put the future of his family and his people in grave danger.

In the midseason premiere, Ragnar returns to Kattegat to handle unfinished business in Wessex with King Ecbert (Linus Roache). A face-off between Ragnar’s ex-wife Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) and his second wife Aslaug (Alyssa Sutherland) becomes imminent as both attempt to plot themselves back into power. In Paris, Rollo prepares for the eventual return of his brother as he tries to build a relationship with his new wife, Princess Gisla (Morgane Polanski). In Wessex, Ecbert grows closer to his son’s wife, Judith (Jennie Jacques), while his son Aethelwulf (Moe Dunford) forms a relationship with Queen Kwenthrith (Amy Bailey) of Mercia. King Harald Finehair (Peter Franzen) arrives in Kattegat with his brother Halfdan (Jasper Pääkkönen), to return with Ragnar to Paris. However, Harald has desires to become the King of all Norway, but must overthrow Ragnar to do so. Not keen in following his father’s wishes, Ragnar’s eldest son Bjorn (Alexander Ludwig) prepares to sail to the Mediterranean in an innovative new boat built by Floki (Gustaf Skarsgård).
