Full Card Revealed For ONE Warrior Series February
Rich Franklin’s ONE Warrior Series (OWS) will return with its first live event of 2019 and a stacked lineup of mixed martial arts bouts.
ONE Warrior Series February is set to feature some of the top up-and-coming mixed martial arts talent from across Asia on Thursday, 28 February, including some familiar faces from the ONE Championship Vice President’s reality show.
The bout card will also include some of the standout competitors from last year’s three OWS events, who will all travel to Singapore to try and earn a coveted contract to join the main roster of The Home Of Martial Arts.
One of the athletes who should be on everyone’s watch list is Team Lakay’s Lito Adiwang.
The Filipino exploded onto OWS with a highlight-reel knockout of Manuel Huerta last year, and he will aim to make it two in a row against Brazil’s Alberto Correia.
Japan’s Kimihiro Eto is also set for a return to action after a breakout year in 2018.
The Wajutsu Keishukai HEARTS representative is a teammate of ONE Strawweight World Champion Yosuke “Tobizaru” Saruta, and he showed the depth of talent in his gym with two wins, including an armbar submission of JD Fairtex Hardwick in October.
He will go in search of his third win in ONE’s developmental league against the Philippines’ Trestle Tan.
One match that promises a spectacular finish is Emmanuel “The Biafran Warrior” Onyedikachi‘s encounter with Devon “Bam Bam” Morris.
Competing out of Cambodia via Nigeria, Onyedikachi began his mixed martial arts career with a perfect 3-0 run as a welterweight in OWS, which included some exciting displays.
Phuket Top Team’s Morris scored a first-round knockout at ONE Warrior Series 3, which marked him as a welterweight to watch.
Another top performer from last year’s OWS shows who is set to make her return is Nyrene “Neutron Bomb” Crowley.
The strawweight from New Zealand is 2-0 in the organization so far, and will look to make it a hat trick against the toughest opponent of her career – South Korea’s “Honey Bee” Ji Yeon Seo.
