One Fighting Championship: Pride of a nation

This Friday 31st August live from Smart Araneta Coliseum, Manila, One Fighting Championship presents One FC 5: Pride of a Nation

This is an extremely stacked card with Tobikan Judan Aoki headlining with a to be determined opponent while we have two former UFC champions battling each other for the fourth time and a third former UFC champion making his début for ONE FC. 

It seems like the One FC 5 is a family ordeal with three Gracie family members fighting in the same card. It may well be a first not only in MMA but in fighting to have three family members  to fight on the same night.

The MMA scene in the Philippines is one of the biggest in South East Asia with the presence of fight promotion such as the URCC and XFC long before the inception of the ONE FC. Hence, the depth of MMA talent in the Philippines is deeper than most of the SEA countries with established name such as Eduard Folayang and Eric Kelly who will be fighting on the 31st against Felipe Enomoto and Jens Pulver respectively.

This is an extremely good card and I can't wait for it.

More updates are coming  soon

ONE FC: Pride of a Nation (WARRRRRR!!!)

I dare to say that the Philippines is the hottest place to be for a South East Asian(SEA)MMA fighter. MMA has been around before ONE FC started and is well represented by Universal Ring Combat Championship (URCC) hence the plethora of fighters coming out from the Philippines. Not to forget a couple of UFC stars who are filipino descent i.e. Brandon Vera and Mark Munoz. 

 It was not a complete surprise that ONE FC decided to come to the Philippines. I have a feeling that the Philippines is going to be what Brazil is to the UFC. Contribute with high volume of top class talent and also provide a huge following for ONE FC. Rumours have been spread around about the fight card and I can't wait for it to be confirmed While we wait, the guys form ONE FC has made this to keep us wanting for more
