Erasing painful memory in Manila motivates Eduard Folayang to win against unbeaten Russian foe

When Eduard “Landslide” Folayang made his second defense of the ONE Lightweight World Championship in November of last year, it took place at the packed indoor sporting arena in Manila, Philippines.

Folayang suffered an excruciating defeat at the hands of ONE Featherweight World Champion Martin Nguyen, who uncorked his signature overhand right at the Filipino superstar after he attempted to deliver a spinning back-kick.

The punch connected right on the Team Lakay veteran’s chin, ultimately knocking him out in the second round and costing him his world title.

Singapore is the best place to start again for Filipino hero Eduard Folayang

Former ONE Lightweight World Champion Eduard “Landslide” Folayang had a memorable trip to Singapore nearly two years ago when he hoisted an intricately-crafted hardware above his head in celebration after claiming the biggest victory of his professional career.

Folayang’s world title-clinching performance against Shinya Aoki at ONE: DEFENDING HONOR in November 2016 was a win that no one ever expected, but what made it more spectacular was how the beloved Filipino superstar defeated the Japanese mixed martial arts legend with his bare hands.

With a little more than two weeks to go to fight night, ONE Lightweight World Champion Eduard "Landslide" Folayang (17-5) is hard at work at the high-altitudes of Baguio City, Philippines.

Folayang will make his long-awaited return to the ONE Championship cage in Manila to defend the title for the first time against Malaysian star Ev “E.T.” Ting (13-3), a fighter who has proven to be a thorn on the side of Philippine MMA.

The 27-year-old Ting has had his fair share of run-ins with Filipino MMA fighters. Throughout his career, Ting has managed to deal losses to the likes of Eric and Edward Kelly, Cary Bullos, and even Folayang’s Team Lakay stablemate Honorio Banario.
