Phuket Top Team owner/operator gives us his thoughts on future ONE FC fights he’d like to see

The following excerpt was taken from Boyd Clarke’s blog. It’s essentially a run down of certain bouts the PTT owner/operator would like to see transpire in the near future in ONE FC, undoubtedly Asia’s première promotion.

The Most Talented Fighter Ever: Requiem for Naseem; 10yr Anniversary of The Day The Boxing Died

Light a candle. Ten years ago today, we saw last boxing’s royalty, pound-for-pound icon, showman extraordinaire, featherweight all-time-great, British boxing top tier member and easily the most talented fighter I have ever seen in my life; PRINCE, Naseem, Hamed!

The End of the Greatest… It Is God’s Will

“It is God’s Will”, says Fedor, the greatest Mixed Martial Arts fighter to have ever competed professionally. That was how he justified his fall from the top, as his decade of destruction and 32-fight-unbeaten streak of terror was finally ended by Fabricio Werdum.

One FC: Destiny of Warriors – A MUST SEE CARD

Destiny of Warriors. One FC’s Kuala Lumpur event scheduled for June 23rd. Such titles are synonymous with Asian MMA, and Victor Cui’s Singaporean organisation are no different.

DEEP (Japan) Hold Audition for “Girl Fighter”

DEEP are a frustrating organisation – immensely enjoyable shows, but no advancement, no international streams available, only a tedious wait to download the event (when possible) after which the results are more than likely already spoiled. However, they’ll always hold a soft spot in my heart, and have hosted some of the truly great J-MMA […]
