Filipino slugger and former lightweight champion Eduard “Landslide” Folayang is expecting nothing less than a “slugfest” when he returns to mixed martial arts next month.
Folayang will take on Edson Marques in a lightweight bout in the lead card of ONE Fight Night 5: De Ridder vs. Malykhin on December 3.
The most anticipated bout will be held at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
“He’s also a striker. He comes from a Muay Thai background, and that’s good for me because that will bring me closer to where I truly want to be — the winning track,” Folayang said in an interview with ABS-CBN Sports.
Folayang-Marquez’s bout is seen to develop into a war since the Filipino slugger is known as one of the deadliest strikers in MMA.
Folayang has a unique wushu skill that he mixes with his dizzying and often dangerous spinning attacks.
Folayang’s last outing beat legendary Australian John Wayne Parr in a three-round Muay Thai match.
