MANILA, Philippines – Three of the biggest sports stars in the Philippines are set to hold a workout to showcase their skills this coming Tuesday. Kevin Belingon, Eduard Folayang and Honorio Banario are set to return to action at ONE FC: WARRIOR’S WAY, and prior to the biggest bouts of their lives, will showcase to a select group of media the new skills that they have acquired since we last seen them in the ONE FC cage.
We last saw the representatives from Team Lakay in action in various events earlier this year, and they now return to the year-end event in Manila to cap off 2014. Eduard Folayang and Kevin Belingon can be considered title contenders, and they will be poised for a potential opportunity in the future should they overcome their respective opponents on 5 December.
Folayang is riding a two-fight winning streak while Belingon came close in a #1 contender’s bout earlier this year. Teammate and former ONE FC Featherweight World Champion Honorio Banario will also compete in Manila for the first time this year in a potential epic. Standing opposite Banario in the cage will be Herbert Burns, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu world champion who is on a hot streak since debuting in ONE FC.
The Wushu exponents turned mixed martial artists are the Philippines’ best hopes to a world championship in ONE FC. Once criticised for their lack of grappling skills, they have rounded out their skills with the incorporation of a wrestling regime. Come Tuesday next week, a privileged few will get to see the new and improved versions of these warriors before they fly the flag for the country against foreign mixed martial artists. This is the final rallying call for Filipino fans to join them as they start their conquest towards ONE FC gold!
