ONE Championship Folayang vs Aoki 2 A New Era Live from Japan March 31, Discussion.

So... they're not even debuting against top-ranked One FC fighters?

Seems like a humongous waste of their time and a humongous waste of One FC finances.

And these aren't even Tournament bouts!?

and EIGHT months since their last fights? one really striking while the iron is hot

 

[Katsumi Yamada]

Yea I would say it is aswell, this is a big part of ONE's growth. ONE took their time and are coming into Japan with one hell of a card. Big step forward for ONE. This event and the future of ONE after is so much more exciting. Big progress!

Agree. But apparently there's literally no pleasing some fans

Spoiler

Really fighting the who's who of the MMA world. Wasn't expecting top 10 to start but top 200 would have been nice.

A half assed attempt to bring back the Pride Magic.

Wooooooooowwwwww.

ONE FC is so fucking lame, like.

and EIGHT months since their last fights? one really striking while the iron is hot

Yuww.....Yea this sport is the absolute worst for that unfortunatly

 

[Katsumi Yamada]

Big dick move by one putting them so low on the card.

They didn't even make the poster

 

[EndlessCritic]

one is somehow promoting DJ less than the ufc

 

[SBC]

The name "Timofey" annoys me for some reason.....

Russian does have the English "Th" sound so they use "F" instead. Take Fedor for example. Fedor=Theodore.

 

[1pedestrian]

This card is gonna be good.

 

[executionermma]

Yes, I know, but I am stating I'm more interested in seeing Mouse take on interesting match ups, even if he is fighting 155'ers. He is going to utterly annihilate every One fly and bantam weight.

Belingon is no joke. He just beat DJ's pal Bibi Fernandes. Solid fighter, and considerably bigger than DJ.

It’s a good card imo, MM and Eddie will like win decisively and possibly get some highlight finishes.

The ONE card is very good.

I don't have a problem with the Alvarez vs Timofey because it should deliver the action. I cannot say the same about the DJ matchup with Wakamatsu, but a Japanese opponent makes the most sense for the card and field.

 

[Vulcan]

gonna be a bad night for the japanese

Angela Lee looking bigger than DJ.

Tell me again how ONE has eliminated dehydration in weight cutting.

 

[Vulcan]

yes 170lbs is their lw division, Eddie got the harder side of the bracket...

 

[InfinityLens]

They should make this in a ring like they did that one event, true JMMA style!
