Rich
Franklin , the former UFC
middleweight champion & current ONE

Warriors Series (OWS) co-founder can attest to this when he visited the oil
rich country in season 2 of the series. He came to scout for talent and was
pleasantly surprise that Brunei has a steadily growing martial arts community.

They are not the only Bruneian to fought in ONE Warriors
Series. Their compatriot, Muhammad
Adib Sulaiman has fought 3 times, losing once and winning twice with a
KO/ground & Pound finish.
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.
