Former ONE Lightweight World Champion Eduard “Landslide” Folayang is someone who fans nowadays would describe as an “OG.”
Having main-evented the first ONE Championship show back in 2011, Folayang remains one of the strongest pulls in the Philippines 11 years later. Now he’s set to represent the country in a card that airs live in US primetime.
Folayang battles Edson Marques in a lightweight mixed martial arts bout at ONE Fight Night 5: De Ridder vs. Malykhin on Dec. 3 in ONE’s return to the Mall of Asia Arena. “All I wanted to do is compete again and join this card. It doesn’t matter who I face. Actually, I was waiting for [Yoshihiro] Akiyama, but I think he turned down the offer in fighting me,” he said.
“I’m grateful because I was able to join, and of course the event will be in the Philippines for the first time in three years, so I’m super excited. I’m looking forward to performing in front of my home crowd.”
