Six months since his crushing defeat in Manila, former ONE Lightweight World Champion Eduard Folayang will begin his redemption campaign.
And his tour begins on Friday, May 18, when the legendary Filipino mixed martial artist takes on Kharun Atlangeriev in the undercard of ONE: Unstoppable Dreams in Singapore.
Folayang of the legendary Team Lakay in Baguio City is one of the Philippines’ most experienced martial artists.
After nearly a decade of competing in various promotions, Folayang has amassed an impressive 18-6 professional record.
The 34-year-old veteran has reinvented himself by transitioning from a pure striker to an all-around martial artist, showcasing a highly-improved wrestling and grappling arsenal.
Now set to return to the ONE Championship cage in Singapore, Folayang will face Kharun Atlangeriev with the intention of putting himself back in the world title picture.
Atlangeriev of Russia, 25, is an unbeaten martial artist with a perfect 11-0 record. Atlangeriev has gone the distance just once in his professional stint, as ten of his 11 career wins have come by way of finish.
Joining him in the card is Cebuano bantamweight Roel Rosauro.
29-year-old Roel “Akiyama” Rosauro of Cebu City, Philippines, is a Filipino martial arts prospect who trains in the art of Yaw-Yan.
A striking specialist, Rosauro is known for his powerful hands and lightning-quick punches. Rosauro made his promotional debut at ONE: Quest for Gold opposite China’s Li Kai Wen, joining a growing list of promising talents in ONE Championship.
He now returns to action as a bantamweight, seeking victory against Indonesian martial arts veteran Sunoto.
