Filipino-American fighter Brandon Vera felt honored to appear as a guest athlete in ONE Championship’s edition of “The Apprentice.”
Vera joined a long list of legendary mixed martial artists who showed up as guest athletes in the hit reality television series, namely two-division UFC champion Georges St-Pierre, former ONE and Bellator welterweight titleholder Ben Askren, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu icon Renzo Gracie among others.
“It was very educational and refreshing not to have any pressure on me in front of the camera. I got to learn a lot from the candidates. I look forward to seeing ‘The Apprentice: ONE Championship Edition, ” said Vera. “It was an honor, an absolute privilege to be standing next to greatness both in the martial arts and business worlds.”

Renting a home can be an intensely frustrating experience in Malaysia – and not just for tenants. Realising this, two renter entrepreneurs, Eric Tan and Patrick Grove, created Instahome last September – a fully digital end-to-end home rental platform. Through Instahome,
tenants can search for rentable homes and pay their monthly rent,
agents can list properties for their clients, and
landlords can manage their properties and collect their rent payments – all with a click of a mouse, and all from the safety and convenience of their homes.
Instahome is currently focused on the Klang Valley home rental market. But if all pans out, it could revolutionise the way we rent homes in Malaysia, as just Grab revolutionised transportation and food delivery here. Of course, it might sound too good to be true, so we decided to interview Eric Tan, Instahome’s CEO, to learn more about the startup.
