Folayang faces legend JWP in Muay Thai bout on ONE X


Eduard Folayang will be facing a legend from another sport come ONE X.

The former ONE Lightweight World Champion will face 10-time world champion John Wayne Parr in a Muay Thai rules match.

Folayang will be the first ONE mixed martial artist to fight in ONE’s Super Series.

The 37-year-old Folayang is coming off four straight losses in mixed martial arts, dropping him to a 22-12 record.

But he has a clean slate when it comes to the art of eight limbs.

Parr, though, is a living legend in the sport of Muay Thai.

The 45-year-old Australian has won belts in the World Kickboxing Association, World Kickboxing Federation, World Kickboxing Network, World Muaythai Council, K-1, WKBA, and IMF.

Competing since 1997, Parr is vowing to retire after this bout – win or lose.
