These guys are at the top of their divisions and are ready to deliver an exciting show. Get ready for a night of adrenaline pumping action at the 20,000 seater SM Mall of Asia Arena on 6 December."
David Aranda Santacana is undefeated in MMA and hails from Barcelona, Spain. He is known for his slick submissions having won eight of his nine bouts by submission victory. It will be an exciting match-up as Belingon’s world-class striking clashes with Santacana’s impeccable ground game. It’s the hometown hero taking on a brash newcomer who will not let anything, home-crowd or not, stand in his way.
Caros Fodor was one of the top Lightweights in Strikeforce where he ran up an impressive record and was on course for a title shot. Fodor made a spectacular ONE FC debut at ONE FC: CHAMPIONS & WARRIORS in Jakarta, Indonesia, defeating Yang Seung Ho by unanimous decision. A Muay Thai champion and submission grappling champion, he has been in there with some of the best in the business and wants to introduce himself to fight fans in Manila with a stunning performance. His opponent is no stranger to tough fights.
Vuyisile Colossa is one of the best stand-up fighters to ever compete in MMA and the fact that most of his wins have come by way of KO reflects his ultra-aggressive style. Colossa, who is based in Hong Kong, has devastating low kicks and brutal knees as numerous opponents have discovered to their cost. Colossa will want to control this match with his world class Muay Thai but Fodor has an iron chin and never backs down from a striking exchange which should make for a thrilling fight for the ONE FC fans around the world.
Geje Eustaquio is a Wushu Xanda champion who looked seasoned when he defeated BJJ black belt Alex Silva last year and fought the much more experienced Andrew Leone at ONE FC: RISE TO POWER earlier this year. With his fantastic cardio, he can attack relentlessly for the entire match if need be. He has excellent Wushu and has shown a world-class submission defense. He has a clear advantage in the striking exchanges but his opponent will give him a challenge if the fight hits the ground.
Eugene Toquero is 4-0 in MMA competition with all four of his wins coming by way of TKO. He is one of the top prospects this year due to his exciting style and determination to finish fights. Fans have been waiting for him to make his ONE FC debut and now the time has come for him to step up and prove himself on a world stage.
The first undercard bout of the night will see two Heavyweights clash in what is expected to be a fistful of fireworks. Hong Kong based, Alain Ngalani is back in action after an impressive spin kick KO at ONE FC: CHAMPIONS & WARRIORS that reverberated around the world. He will have to bring his “A” game once again when he takes on the “Typhoon” from North America, Paul Cheng. Cheng is a former CFL football player who has had a successful transition into MMA. Cheng is bent on an impressive debut when he fights in Asia and ONE FC for the first time in his career.
The main event of the evening is a rematch for the ONE FC Featherweight World Title when current champion Koji Oishi from Japan takes on home town hero Honorio Banario.

Kevin
Belingon is the URCC Bantamweight Champion and is bringing a
lot of momentum into this bout. He fought courageously at ONE FC:
RISE TO POWER against veteran Masakatsu
Ueda in a back and forth battle but lost by a razor thin
decision. However, he holds impressive wins over Yusup Sadulaaev
and Vietnamese-Australian Thanh Vu in the
ONE FC cage. Renowned for his devastating striking and possessing
incredible speed and power, he can get in and out of range without
being taken down or countered and can inflict serious damage with
just a single strike. He has some of the most dangerous kicks in
the entire Bantamweight division and also has explosive takedown
and devastating ground and pound. But, his opponent will also be
looking to make a name for himself at ONE FC: MOMENT OF TRUTH.
