Strawweight champion Joshua Pacio, three former titleholders set to fight at ONE: Masters of Fate

Four current or former ONE Championship titleholders are slated to compete on Nov. 8 at ONE’s upcoming event in Manila, Philippines, the promotion announced Monday.

In the main event, current strawweight champ Joshua Pacio puts his belt on the line versus Rene Catalan. The ex-champs set to fight in Manila are Eduard Folayang, Geje Eustaquio and Yoshitaka Naito.

Pacio (17-3) reclaimed the strawweight belt with a fourth-round knockout over Yosuke Saruta, avenging a split decision defeat from January. Catalan (6-2), a 40-year-old Wushu specialist, earned a shot at gold after winning six straight under the ONE banner.

Folayang (21-8), who lost the lightweight title earlier this year, looks to rebound from a submission defeat to Eddie Alvarez when he takes on Amarsanaa Tsogookhuu (5-1), who successfully debuted in the ONE cage in February with a decision win over Shannon Wiratchai.

Eustaquio (12-8), a former ONE flyweight champion, is 1-2 so far in 2019 with a win over Kyu Sung Kim sandwiched between losses to Adriano Moraes and Yuya Wakamatsu. His opponent on Nov. 8 is Toni Tauru (11-7-1), a former Cage Warriors champion who desperately needs a victory after going 1-6 since 2015.

The third former ONE kingpin on tap is Naito (14-3), who faces off with Pongsiri Mitsatit (10-3) after besting fellow ex-champ Alex Silva in a May trilogy bout. Mitsatit hopes to get back on track after losing a decision to Litao Miao in August.

Nong Stamp (2-0), better known as “Stamp Fairtex,” returns to MMA for a fight with Bi Nguyen, a fellow striker with five wins in nine MMA bouts. Stamp currently holds the atomweight kickboxing title in ONE.
