ONE Fighting Championship welcomed boxing world champion Ana Julaton into Asia’s largest mixed martial arts organization today with an open workout in Manila, The Philippines. Julaton demonstrated to the media in attendance her trademark boxing skills that earned her the nickname ‘The Hurricane’, as well as her newly acquired grappling skills.
ONE
FC: RISE OF HEROES on May 2, 2014, is set to be the
largest mixed martial arts event ever witnessed in the history
of the
Philippines. Held at the 20,000-capacity Mall of Asia Arena in
Manila, the
event promises a stacked fight card featuring the explosive
battle for the ONE
FC Bantamweight World Championship title belt in the Main
Event.
After
conquering the boxing world, Ana Julaton will now make her mixed
martial arts
debut this
Friday in a highly
anticipated bout against Middle Eastern kickboxing champion, Aya
Saeid Saber.
Julaton is the first Filipino American boxer to win the Women's
WBO Super
Bantamweight and IBA Super Bantamweight titles. ONE FC: RISE OF
HEROES will
mark the first time she competes in the Philippines. She
excitedly stated,
"Aya Saber is an experienced MMA warrior and champion in
kickboxing. I
know she will bring her very best on May 2nd. I'm training for my ONE FC homecoming fight in
Manila harder
than ever before and what gives me strength through my ups and
downs are the
hearts of my Kababayon all over.”
Millions
of MMA fans around the world have also been eagerly anticipating
this moment
when the ONE FC Bantamweight Grand Prix winner, Masakatsu Ueda,
will rise up to
challenge the reigning and defending world champion Bibiano
