Asia’s
largest Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) organization ONE Fighting Championship™ (ONE
FC) has officially confirmed its much anticipated fight card for ONE FC: PRIDE
OF A NATION which will take place on 31 August at the historic SMART ARANETA
Coliseum in Quezon City, Philippines. ONE
FC, in partnership with Universal Reality Combat Championship™ (URCC), has put
up an impressive line-up of matches.
The card features DREAM Champions Shinya
“Tobikan Judan” Aoki and Bibiano “The Flash” Fernandes. Aoki is the most deadly
submission grappler in MMA and Fernandes is ranked amongst the best
bantamweight fighters in the world. Both are well-known as astounding athletes
with a huge fan base amongst Asian and international fans alike. Aoki’s
opponent is due to be announced shortly while Fernandes will take on Cage Fighting
Championship (CFC) Australia Bantamweight Champion Gustavo Falciroli.
In
addition, two former UFC Heavyweight Champions will meet for the fourth time in
a grudge match that has escalated over the years. Andrei Arlovski and Tim
Sylvia will clash in Manila after a series of fights that saw Sylvia lose the
first bout, and subsequently win back-to-back fights against the tough
Belarusian. Sylvia is currently in the midst of a three-fight winning streak
and has won seven of his last eight bouts.
Plus,
for the first time, the legendary Gracie family will be represented thrice in
one fight card. Rolles Gracie takes on Tony Bonello, Igor Gracie will battle
Korea’s Jung Hwan Cha and Gregor Gracie will look to get back to his winning
ways when he goes toe-to-toe with Nicholas Mann. In Manila, the three members
of the “Royal Family of MMA” will be fighting to honor the legacy of the Gracie
family name.
