ONE In The Media

KUALA LUMPUR: Three Malaysian mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters will be battling their opponents this April at ONE Championship’s ‘Kings Of Destiny’ in Manila, Philippines. The event’s highlight will feature local MMA hero, Ev Ting making his first title shot against ONE lightweight world champion, Eduard Folayang.

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — ONE Championship revealed on Monday the thrilling bouts for Kings of Destiny scheduled for April 21 at the Mall of Asia Arena. Hometown champion Eduard Folayang headlines the event and will defend his title for the first time against Malaysian Ev Ting in the lightweight division. Kevin Belingon, another local hero, will lock horns with Finland’s Toni Tauru in the bantamweight class.

MANILA, Philippines – Aside from Eduard “Landslide” Folayang, several other Filipino mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters will also see action in the ONE: Kings of Destiny fight card on April 21 at the Mall of Asia Arena. Folayang is making the first defense of his ONE lightweight world title against Malaysia’s Ev “E.T.” Ting in the main event, but before “Landslide” fights in front of his compatriots again, fight fans in Manila will first get a glimpse of some of the rising stars of Filipino MMA.

On May 22, 2015, she entered the ring at the Singapore Indoor Stadium as a bright-eyed teenager, eager to launch her mixed martial arts (MMA) career. The following May, Angela Lee walked into the cage a nervous contender, facing Japan’s Mei Yamaguchi in a battle for the inaugural ONE Championship atomweight world title. Two months from now, Lee, 20, will return to the 12,000-seater venue a confident world champion, to meet “probably my toughest opponent yet”.

ONE Championship, Asia’s largest Mixed Martial Arts Promotion, has announced a blockbuster main event for Singapore-hosted ONE: Dynasty of Heroes in May. Women’s Atomweight World Champion Angela Lee, fresh from a successful first title defense in March, will put her title on the line once again when she takes on Istela Nunes of Brazil in the main event.

One Championship’s Angela Lee wanted to defend her atomweight title “multiple times” this year – and now she will be getting her wish. Mixed martial arts (MMA) promoter One Championship announced yesterday that Lee will face Brazilian Istela Nunes at its Singapore event, dubbed One: Dynasty of Heroes, on May 26. The event will be held at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

It took Angela Lee almost 12 months to make her first title defence. Now, the One atomweight world champion will find herself back in the cage twice in the space of about two.

Lee dominated her last challenger Jenny Huang last Saturday and the ONE atomweight world champion barely had a finger laid on her on the way to a third-round TKO victory.

MANILA — Ev “E.T.” Ting said he holds high respect for Filipino fighters, despite having defeated a handful of them. Ting, who is due to face MMA champion Eduard Folayang next month, made it clear he has nothing personal against his past Filipino foes.

MANILA, Philippines – Filipino mixed martial arts (MMA) standout Eduard “Landslide” Folayang has plenty of similarities with Team Lakay comrade Honorio “The Rock” Banario, foremost of which is that they are the only Filipino fighters to win ONE Championship world titles.

BANGKOK: Mixed martial arts (MMA) star Angela Lee successfully made the first defence of her One Championship title belt on Saturday (Mar 11) with a third-round technical knockout (TKO) of Taiwanese contender Jenny Huang. Standing at 1.63m, Lee utilised her significant height and reach advantage to overwhelm 1.55m-tall Huang from the get-go of their atomweight (47.7kg-52.2kg) tilt.
