MANILA, Philippines – 5 Team Lakay fighters will don the country’s colors on the undercard of ONE Championship’s “Age of Domination” event on December 2 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
Geje Eustaquio squares off with former ONE Championship bantamweight title contender Toni Tauru, while Honorio Banario takes on Rajinder Singh Meena in a 3-round lightweight contest.
Both Eustaquio and Banario are riding high on an impressive two-fight winning streak inside the ONE Championship cage.
Eustaquio (8-4) scored a first-round knockout victory over Malaysian stalwart Saiful Merican in January and then notched a lopsided decision triumph against Malaysian standout Gianni Subba last April.
Meanwhile, Banario (10-6) snapped his 5-fight losing skid at the expense of fellow Filipino combatant Vaughn Donayre in April before he defeated Hong Kong’s Edde Ng via unanimous decision this past August.
Eustaquio and Banario are entering their respective bouts as the heavy favorites because not only do they have a hometown advantage, but their opponents are coming off losses.
Tauru (10-4-1) has lost 3-straight matches and has not won a single fight yet in ONE Championship, while Meena (8-2) has not competed since he yielded to Peter Davis via first-round stoppage in May 2015.
Aside from Eustaquio and Banario, 3 other fighters will represent the highly-esteemed mixed martial arts group from La Trinidad, Benguet.
The hot-streaking Edward Kelly (8-3) battles Indonesian journeyman Sunoto Peringkat (5-2) in a 3-round featherweight clash.
April Osenio (2-1) faces Taiwanese atomweight Jenny Huang, while Danny Kingad meets Filipino fan-favorite Eugene Toquero. – Rappler.com
