So you’ve read our preliminary card predictions for the biggest MMA event you’ll see in the Philippines this year, “ONE FC: Pride of a Nation”. Now we take you into the main card.
We are just seven weeks away from “ONE FC: Pride of a Nation”. Last week was a pretty interesting week for the event with reports that former UFC veterans Andrei Arlovski and Jens Pulver had signed with the promotion and will appear on the card. Both fighters are huge names and will be big draws for the event which is expected to be the biggest MMA event in the Philippines ever.
It was almost one year ago now when ONE Fighting Championship was beginning its quest to bring back martial arts to Asia in the grandest fashion possible and to ignite the Bushido spirit of best mixed martial artists from around Asia. ONE FC had a very bold goal and it was simply to be the biggest and best mixed martial arts promotion in Asia.
While rumors and rumbling of the ONE FC 2 card have been floating around the Internet, nothing has been confirmed…. until now. The official main card has finally been released and it looks stacked.
