Check out part one of our preview for this weekend's ONE FC: 'Rise to Power' event, set for the 20,000 capacity SM Mall of Asia Arena in Manila on Friday night (May 31, 2013), airing live via online pay-per-view (PPV).
ONE FC Lightweight Champion Shinya Aoki would consider moving down a weight class to meet Bibiano Fernandes in a "super fight," but "The Tobikan Judan" is also considering defending his 155-pound strap "many times."
Lightweight submission ace Shinya Aoki notched yet another win by submission after tapping out Kotetsu Boku at ONE FC on Friday. Can anyone in Asia stop "The Tobikan Judan," who is now the ONE FC 155-pound champion?
Shinya Aoki wanted revenge and he got it, manhandling Kotetsu Boku en route to a second-round rear-naked choke victory in the main event of ONE FC 8: Kings and Champions.
ONE FC 8 results live online for "Kings & Champions" on April 5, 2013, from Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore, including play-by-play blog updates and coverage of Kotetsu Boku vs. Shinya Aoki-led MMA event.
Shinya Aoki doesn't fight angry. He fights scared. He wants to kill his opponent and he knows the feeling is mutual. But now Aoki craves something more. He wants vengeance, and he's willing to break bones to do it.
Check out part two of our preview and breakdown of this Friday night's (April 5, 2013) ONE FC event from Singapore titled "Kings & Champions," featuring top International stars Shinya Aoki, Melvin Manhoef, Eddie Ng and more.
Kotetsu Boku knows what he needs to do if he wants to avoid becoming the latest victim in a long line of lightweights to be submitted by Shinya Aoki and he is confident that he can knockout the "Tobikan JUdan" at ONE FC 8 in Singapore.
While stateside fighters have excelled at wrestling and boxing, there is not as much emphasis on Muay Thai, something Heath Sims says will set International fighters apart down the road.
"The Tobikan Judan" sits down with MMAmania.com to discuss his upcoming fight against ONE FC World Lightweight Champion Kotetsu Boku on April 5 in Singapore, as well as how his current employer stacks up against his old stomping grounds in Japan.
Eddie Ng's two ONE FC fights to date have lasted a grand total of 88 seconds and, with his Evolve MMA teammate Shinya Aoki set to fight for the belt, Ng will be looking to show that he too is a genuine title contender with another convincing win.
