ONE Championship announces two Manila dates for 2017
The leading Asian MMA promotion announces 18 dates for 2017, with others in new markets in the works

MANILA, Philippines – Asian MMA leader ONE Championship has released its 18-event schedule for 2017, which includes two stops in Manila and a few new markets.

ONE will host events at the Mall of Asia Arena on April 21 and November 10 – both Fridays – according to a company statement. No word has been included about who will headline either card.

ONE also hosted an event at MOA Arena in April of this year, titled “Global Rivals”, which was headlined by welterweight champion Ben Askren prevailing over Nikolay Aleksakhin by decision in a catchweight fight. Their second event this past weekend saw their heavyweight champion Brandon Vera finish off Japan’s Hideki Sekine in the first round.

The rest of the schedule sees ONE return to its established markets in Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Yangon, Myanmar, plus Cotai Arena at The Venetian in Macau, where they first held a show this year.
