ONE FC: ERA OF CHAMPIONS will witness Indonesia’s first female mixed martial artist, Desi Rahayu, making her ONE FC debut against Malaysia’s Ella Tang. The card is stacked with a bevy of international stars, and fans, both watching live in Jakarta and around the world, can prepare for a night of thrilling world-class mixed martial arts action when the ONE FC warriors battle it out in the cage!”
Muay Thai world champion Dejdamrong Sor Amnuaysirichoke will make his ONE FC debut at ONE FC: ERA OF CHAMPION. He has an impressive Muay Thai record of 282-65, and is a 3x Lumpinee World Champion. Now an instructor at Evolve MMA, he has trained extensively in mixed martial arts in anticipation of this bout.
Jomanz Omanz is a Filipino boxer who has an impressive boxing record of 12 wins with only two losses. Having reached the peak of his boxing career, he now transitions to mixed martial arts. This is a clash of the two most popular striking styles and it is up to Amnuaysirichoke and Omanz to see which discipline comes out on top.
Malaysia’s rising flyweight contender, Gianni Subba returns to the ONE FC cage for the second time this year to take on another Filipino flyweight in Ruel Catalan. Subba wants to prove once again he is considered one of the hottest rising stars in the world against Catalan. Subba has finished his opponents in all the bouts that he has won, and will look to do the same again on 14 June.
Ruel Catalan is a Wushu practitioner and comes from a family of mixed martial artists. Catalan unleashed a vicious series of ground punches to defeat Cambodia’s Khim Dima in his last bout, and gets a tougher test in Subba. Catalan is an accomplished striker and will need to use all his skills to overcome the Malaysian prodigy.
Indonesian fans will also be excited when the first ever Indonesian professional mixed martial artist, Desi Rahayu, enters the ONE FC cage to represent Indonesia against Malaysia’s Ella Tang. Desi Rahayu is best known for being the National Judo Champion in Indonesia and her debut in ONE FC marks her transition to becoming a complete mixed martial artist.
Ella Tang is a Muay Thai, Sanshou and kickboxing veteran from Malaysia. She has dedicated herself to mastering the striking arts and now wants to integrate them with grappling in mixed martial arts. She hopes her experience comes through when she takes on a highly touted opponent in Rahayu.
