|

A couple of potent match-ups look set to take place at ONE FC 11: Total Domination. It was revealed on Wednesday afternoon (Singapore time) that a Lightweight match-up pitting Evolve MMA’s Eddie Ng (6-1) against Muayfit’s Peter Davis (6-2) has been confirmed for ONE FC’s eleventh installment. Officials also took the liberty of announcing a clash between Middleweights Tatsuya Mizuno (11-9) and veteran Rafael Silva (39-13) as well.

The event is set to air LIVE all over Asia on the Star Sports network. Fans living outside the continent can purchase the main card fights for a price of US$9.99, following free prelims on YouTube.

CEO of ONE Fighting Championship, Victor Cui, stated, “MMA fans in Singapore are about to be blown away by this fight card! It is stacked with the most exciting fighters from start all the way to the main event. I can’t tell you how excited I am that Eddie Ng and Peter Davis will be facing each other on 18 October. This bout will mark a major milestone in the history of the Asian Lightweight division as both fighters have made it clear that nothing will stand in their way of reaching a title shot.”

“Eddie Ng is explosive and has amazing grappling skills while Peter Davis has an outstanding reach advantage and maximizes it with unorthodox striking. Both fighters have droves of fans from Singapore and across the Causeway, and a bout like this would certainly polarize the Indoor Stadium.” Cui added.

Ng, of course, is one of several hotshots fighting out of the famed Evolve MMA fight team alongside multiple world champions in the likes of Shinya Aoki, Zorobabel Moreira and Leandro Issa among others. Nicknamed “The Magician”, the Hong Kong native’s most recent appearance came at ONE FC 8: Kings & Champions in April where he submitted Frenchman Arnaud Lepont via Armbar.

“I am excited to represent Hong Kong and step back into the ONE FC cage to face Peter Davis. He is a tough opponent with a good all round skill set. He has the ability to finish fights standing up and submit people on the ground. I look forward to the challenge on 18 October and I expect nothing less than an all-out war!” Ng proclaimed.

Davis, in the meantime, hails from Malaysia. Along with his constant venture in Modelling and acting, Davis has established quite a reputation in those parts. The 32-year-old will be looking to rebound from an unexpected TKO loss he suffered at the hands of Ariel Sexton in June. Prior to that defeat, he was on a 5-fight win streak.

Davis told the media, “In the upcoming ONE FC fight, I’m going to be pulling out more tricks than “The Magician” can handle and put an end to his winning streak. He’s won fights against a couple of my friends and it’s time for a little revenge.”

Tatsuya Mizuno will be competing at 185-lbs for his match-up against Rafael Silva following back-to-back losses in the Light Heavyweight division. He was stopped in his ONE FC debut by Renato “Babalu” Sobral, and was decisioned by Jason Jones a few months later under the GLORY banner. Despite the Jekyll and Hyde ride in his MMA career, though, Mizuno holds notable victories over Melvin Manhoef, Trevor Prangley and Illir Latifi.

His opponent, Rafael Silva, is a Portuguese MMA staple who has 21 wins coming by way of submission. Having amassed more that 50 professional fights in his MMA career, Silva will be bringing a stacked and experienced resume to the ONE FC cage let alone the Middleweight division.
