Fernandes enters the bout on an 11-fight winning streak. The former two-division Dream champion captured undisputed bantamweight gold with a five-round verdict over Soo Chul Kim in October 2013. He has since defended the title four times, including a first-round submission of Kevin Belingon at One Championship 37 on Jan. 23.
A native of Queensland, Australia, the 25-year-old McLaren has won two straight under the One Championship banner and four in a row overall. In his most recent outing, “Lightning” garnered a unanimous decision victory over Muin Gafurov on April 15.
