ONE FC announced Monday that it would be returning to Manila in May and moving to an even bigger venue, the 20,000 capacity SM Mall of Asia Arena.
The May 31st card will be headlined by Honorio Banario who will be making the first defence of his ONE FC World Featherweight Title in a rematch with Korean Bae Young Kwon.
No other match ups are confirmed at the time of writing but the card will also feature reigning DREAM Bantamweight Champion and DREAM Bantamweight Grand Prix Winner Bibiano Fernandes and URCC Welterweight Champion Eduard Folayang.
ONE FC: ‘Pride of a Nation’ took place at the 16,500 capacity Araneta Coliseum last August and also featured Banario, Folayang and Fernandes. That show was so successful that Asia’s biggest MMA promotion decided to switch to a venue with a greater capacity for its return to Manila.
This event will be sponsored by Casino Filipino and broadcast live to 28 Asian countries by Star Sports.
