Now this is gonna be huge for #MMA in Asia! @philbaroni fighting for @onefcmma

BOOM!!!

Unless you’ve been living under a rock…you’ve heard about the new One Fighting Championship event based in Singapore.

The promotion will be shown on TV by Media Corp in Singapore, and will be featured in 24 countries by ESPN STAR Sports…basically putting the broadcast into half a BILLION HOMES!…Forget the fact that BA RUTTEN is going to be the TV commentator.

I’ve been hearing a ton of rumors lately surrounding the event—-One of which is pretty exciting.–Rumor has it…that 1FC will be unified MMA rules (elbows) with the inclusion of PRIDE FC’s Soccer Kicks, and Knees to the head of a downed opponent….those rules = a lot of violence inside a cage!

…Making sure Tiger Muay Thai was well represented on the event, we were able to help put TMT Alumni Phil Baroni’s Manager Monte Cox in touch with ONE FC CEO Victor Cui.

The result…Phil Baroni will be facing 5x UFC veteran Yoshiyuki Yoshida of Japan. (The same Yoshida who choked out War Machine)

Look for Baroni to finish out the majority of his training camp with AKA—before returning to TMT for a bit of acclamation before his fight—expect to see him back for a few weeks after entertaining fans around the world with his Warrior fighting style.

TRAIN HARD BARONI….We’re looking to see the New York Badass…back in Asia…and using Soccer Kicks in full affect!
