Eduard ?Landslide? Folayang is a national hero in the Philippines, where people love him for his fearless attitude and never-say-die approach to fighting. A SEA Games medalist in Wushu, Folayang enters the ONE FC cage with an incredible MMA record of eleven victories and only two defeats. After a hard-fought loss in Singapore, the pride of the Philippines is looking to get back to his winning ways against the very durable and well-rounded Felipe Enomoto. Enomoto shocked the Filipino MMA community with a surprise upset over the crowd favorite Ole Laursen at ONE FC: Battle of Heroes in Jakarta. He will look to do the same again when he faces the Philippines? favorite son, Eduard Folayang, at ONE FC: Pride of a Nation on 31 August. ?Enomoto is a tough fighter with all-round skills which makes him a dangerous opponent,? said ONE FC Lightweight Eduard Folayang. ?I?ve been training three times a day for this fight with my team in Baguio. Each time I enter the cage, I fight for my country and my family. Manila can expect the best from me when I enter the cage on 31 August, I will not let my country down.? Top Filipino fighter Kevin ?The Silencer? Belingon is no stranger to fighting on home soil. He is the current URCC Flyweight Champion and has fought six of his 10 professional fights in the Philippines. The Wushu expert, who is known to wear down his opponent with technical strikes and acrobatic kicks, will step up to the challenge again when he takes on one of Korea?s top bantamweights, Soo Chul Kim. ?I?ve never been more ready for a fight in my life. Kim is a tough opponent for me, but there is no way I?m losing on my home soil,? said Kevin Belingon. Two of the Philippines? rising MMA stars are also set to compete in what is expected to be an exciting battle that will set the tone for the evening. Andrew Benibe will take on Honorio ?The Rock? Banario in the opening battle of the night. Benibe is on a three-fight win streak and is determined to add ?The Rock? to his list of fallen opponents.
