30 June 2014 – SINGAPORE: ONE FC: WAR OF DRAGONS, 10 bout fight card is now set with top featherweights Rob Lisita and Eric Kelly squaring off in the main event. Taiwanese star Jeff Huang will make his ONE FC debut in front of fans in his home country as he meets top Indian kickboxer Bala Shetty. Heavyweights Alain Ngalani and Chi Lewis Parry will meet again to complete their contest that previously ended in a No Contest. Singapore’s Nicholas Lee has also been added to the card as a replacement for Muhamad Haidar, and will take on Taiwanese mixed martial arts pioneer Sung Ming Yen.
Jeff Huang has cemented his status as Taiwan’s top welterweight, and has won every time he competed in Taiwan. Despite having a comfortable career as a financial consultant, Huang elected to give it up to dedicate himself to mixed martial arts, and spent his savings to travel the world and pick up new techniques.
Bala Shetty is a multiple-time muay thai champion from India, and has represented the country in global and continental competition. He will now make the transition to mixed martial arts having spent the past few years incorporating the other elements of mixed martial arts to his set of striking skills.
Alain Ngalani is a one man wrecking machine who has single handedly smashed his way through the top heavyweight fighters in both Muay Thai and kickboxing winning numerous world titles and scoring countless highlight reel knock outs along the way. This indomitable African was forced to quit after being on the wrong end of a low blow by Chi Lewis Parry early in the opening round of their first encounter. He now returns desperate to become the first man to ever beat the Englishman.
A former professional basketball player, Chi Lewis Parry’s goal is to become the first ever ONE FC Heavyweight World Champion and he is still unhappy about the way his first fight with Ngalani finished. No opponent has ever made it past the second round against Parry and he is determined to give the Taiwanese fans a glimpse of the power which has seen him establish himself as England’s best heavyweight.
Nicholas Lee will become the youngest mixed martial artist to compete in Asia’s largest mixed martial arts organization when he makes his debut at just 19 years of age. He has finished his opponents in both his previous victories and will look to do the same come Fight Night. He faces a tough task against his much more experienced opponent, who is sure of the support by the Taiwanese fans in attendance behind him.
Sung Ming Yen is a Taiwanese mixed martial arts pioneer who has proven himself as one of the top mixed martial artists in the country. Sung is equally adept in both grappling and striking, and prides himself on his aggressive style. He is out to prove that mixed martial artists from Taiwan can go toe to toe against the best that Asia has to offer and he will get his chance to do so in front of thousands of Taiwanese fans on 11 July.
