ONE Championship A New Era. A main event that rock Japan! Ending perfectly with Japan’s MMA icon Shinya Aoki 青木真也 winning back the lightweight belt he lost to Eduard Folayang in Nov 2016. It was also a horrible year for Shinya in 2017 as he lost twice. Once to Gary Tonon in a grappling match and then to Ben Askren. 2018 was a resurgence year for this veteran of more than 50 mma bouts. He took on the best lightweight in ONE and won 3 in a row. All in the first round. Tonight as ONE Championship held it’s grand debut in Japan, Shinya capped it off with a stellar win, an arm triangle choke over Eduard in round 1 to ensure Japanese fans have a great reason to celebrate.
I’m Wallace.
Martial arts is a passion of mine since I was a kid. TaeKwon-Do was my first martial arts.
Since my injury to both knee’s ACL, I train for fitness only. Warriors.Asia started as Warriors of Borneo blogspot in 2015, this is my way of keeping myself updated in the martial arts world.
Writing stories about it is my small way of contributing to the development of the industry. My aim is to inspire & motivate others with my stories & also to help organisers & event promoters to have more media coverage.
I do not make any $$$ out of this ( but of course if there are any brand that wants to collab, I gladly welcome ).
Do reach out to me if you have any martial arts stories you want to tell.
