Pinoy MMA bet vs Chinese

Team Lakay's Jeremy Pacatiw is out to unleash the "Juggernaut" when he faces Chinese Chen Rui in his ONE Championship debut in ONE: Battleground at the Singapore Indoor Stadium Friday, July 30.

This will mark Pacatiw's first fight since knocking out Brazilian foe Felipe Efrain in December 2019 when he was still competing in Bahrainbased promotion BRAVE Combat Federation.

"Si Chen Rui ay isang malupit din na fighter 'yong kailangan ko lang gawin ay maging 'Juggernaut' sa laban," the 25year-old Team Lakay stalwart told the Manila Bulletin. "Gawin ko lang 'yong dapat kong gawin, 'yong mga advice ng coaches ko at ng mga kasama ko para makuha 'yong panalo.

Pacatiw is the latest Team Lakay fighter to become a part of ONE Championship.

He joined latest recruits Stephen Loman, the longest reigning champion in BRAVE CF and Jhanlo Sangiao, the son of Team Lakay head coach Mark.

The Team Lakay bantamweight bet will be riding on the momentum set by teammate Edward Kelly, who scored a split decision win over Egyptian opponent Ahmed Faress in ONE: Full Blast last May.
