The ONE Championship cage returns to the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila on Friday, with Filipino champion Joshua Pacio (18-3) set for top billing. The two-time ONE strawweight champion will take on a former champ, Brazil’s Alex Silva (9-4), in the main event of a fight card that is packed with some of the biggest martial arts stars from the region. The co-main event features Pacio’s teammate and former two-time lightweight champion Eduard Folayang (22-8), who takes on dangerous late replacement Pieter Buist (16-4) from the Netherlands, while further main card support comes from another Filipino star, flyweight Danny Kingad (13-2), who takes on China’s Xie Wei (5-2). The trio, along with women’s atomweight contender Gina Iniong (8-4), are set for action on home soil as they look to produce another big night for their gym, Team Lakay. The team, based in Baguio City and run by head coach Mark Sangiao, identifies talented wushu prospects from the city’s University of the Cordilleras and builds their skillsets in preparation for a career in the cage.
