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

Fight Week: UFC 150

UFC 150 is on this week from Denver, Colorado.

The main event is a lightweight title rematch between Benson Henderson and Frankie Edgar. Edgar lost his title to Smooth when the first fought in UFC 144 6 months ago. A good title fight in my book because both guys are really top of their game. Both have strong wrestling background however Ben is the bigger of the 2 and is far more athletic. Frankie however has the heart and the foot speed and movement to match his lionheart. I dare not make any predictions but I want to pose a question, what's next for Frankie if he loses? dropping down to featherweight I presume?

The co-main event of the evening would pit former team-mates.  Donald 'The Cowboy' Cerrone vs Melvin 'The Young Assassin' Guillard. Melvin who was previously under the tutelage of Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn has now moved from Albuquerque to Florida to join the Blackzillians. Rashad Evans current camp. The move was more of a mutual move rather than a bitter one (Evans-Jones drama). Cerrone is fighting in his home town. That is one major motivation to perform and win. This fight will be a slugfest. Heavy leg kicks from the cowboy and big punches from the young assassin. Predictions? I say Cerrone by RNC in the 3rd round. I don't know how much Melvin has improve from moving camps but the cowboy is just more well rounded in all aspects of the game.

I think I have said so much so its time to let the guys do their talking

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
