MMA20131201INSPIRED by the recent triumph of their compatriot Manny Pacquiao, mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters Honorio “The Rock” Banario, Kevin “The Silencer” Belingon and Eduard “The Landslide” Folayang vowed to conquer their respective foes in One Fighting Championship: Moment of Truth on December 6, at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

“Pacquiao’s victory came at a good timing for all of us and we are all motivated,” said Banario (8-2 win-loss-draw record), who lost his One FC featherweight belt to Japanese Koji Oishi (24-9-10) via second round technical knockout in May. Banario, 23, a sanshou (wushu contact fighting) veteran, is looking to redeem himself in this week’s rematch against Oishi.
