MANILA, Philippines – Filipino mixed martial arts veteran Eduard Folayang will fight to keep his career alive when he takes on Antonio Caruso at ONE: Into The Matrix in Singapore tonight.
Having lost three of his last four ONE Championship outings, Folayang faces a situation where he must win against Australian Caruso to stay competitive in the promotion’s stacked lightweight division.
Though he has been dismissed by critics, the Baguio-based stable team fighter Lakay remains confident in his abilities.
“I’m still strong. I’m still hungry. I’m getting better every day,” Folayang said.
“Martial arts are my life, it is my passion. I will do my best to make another race towards the title, and God willing, I will achieve it,” he added.
Folayang is a two-time former ONE lightweight world champion, but has recently faded on a losing streak in his recent outings.
Already at 35, Folayang will try to build on his experience against the 29-year-old Caruso.
Folayang and Caruso will meet in the second match of the night on Inside the Matrix, which features four matches for the title.
The event in Singapore, which will include 250 fans physically present in the arena, will be headlined by Aung La N Sang defending his ONE world middleweight title against Reinier De Ridder.
Other title fights include the Women’s World Strawweight Championship between champion Xiong Jing Nan and challenger Tiffany Teo, the World Featherweight Championship fight between champion Martin Nguyen and Thanh Le and the World Weight Championship champion.
