A look at three key fights from the weekend’s regional, developmental and international scene. This edition previews ONE Championship, VFC 47 and ROAD FC 028.
ONE Championship returns to Kuala Lumpur on Friday, Sept. 2, for its 47th event, dubbed Unbreakable Warriors. Malaysia has become a popular destination for the promotion with an increasing number of Malaysian fighters making the jump to ONE. The main event features one of those rising Malaysian fighters, Ev Ting, facing one of the featherweight division’s formidable mainstays, Rob Lisita. Ting will have the hometown advantage as he looks to earn his third straight win in front of a packed audience at Stadium Negara. Lisita hopes to end his losing skid in what looks like a highly competitive fight on paper.
