Asia’s premier mixed martial arts organization is back at the state-of-the-art, 20,000-seater Mall of Asia Arena this Friday, December 11, in an event called ONE: SPIRIT OF CHAMPIONS.
The fight card highlights the return of former women’s boxing world champion Ana “Hurricane” Julaton as well as a bout featuring bantamweight stalwart, Mark “Mugen” Striegl. In the main event, Paul “Typhoon” Cheng steps in as a last minute replacement for original participant Chi Lewis-Parry, as he takes on Filipino-American Brandon “The Truth” Vera for the ONE Heavyweight World Championship.
Fans have come to expect ONE to hold spectacular year-end cards in Manila, after the promotion has held successful shows here in the past. ONE is known to pit the best local Filipino talent against worthy international opposition, and this card is no different.
At flyweight, Team Lakay’s cool and collected Wushu specialist, Geje “Gravity” Eusraquio will make an appearance along with hair-flipping striking machine Eugene Toquero. Both fighters will take on Chinese opponents in what is expected to thrilling matchups in the sport’s lighter weight divisions.
