5 #PusongPalaban Moments in One Championship’s ‘King of Destiny’
Philippine Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is on a rampage again this year, with our homegrown fighters delivering thunderous perfomances in the biggest MMA event ever held in the country – One Championship’s “Kings of Destiny,” which aired LIVE from the SM Mall of Asia Arena on S+A last April.
The card was loaded with Pinoy fighters from Baguio’s famed Team Lakay led by ONE Championship Lightweight champ Eduard Folayang. Folayang, Honorio Banario, Kevin Belingon, Danny Kingad, and Gina Iniong wore their hearts on their sleeves as they threw devastating strikes, debilitating takedowns, and suffocating submissions at their foes in a massive display of #PusongPalaban, fueled by the horde of screaming Filipino MMA fans.
It was a fight card for the books, and will be hard to beat in the near future. Good thing we have memories of that mammoth event immortalized for everyone to see.
