Asia’s largest mixed martial arts organization with a 90 percent market share, ONE Championship™ (ONE FC), has announced three blockbuster events to kick off 2015. On March 13, ONE FC will hold ONE FC: AGE OF CHAMPIONS. The event is set to take place at Stadium Putra in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

ONE FC will also return to Manila, Philippines, on April 24 for ONE FC: VALOR OF CHAMPIONS and to Singapore on May 22 for ONE FC: WARRIOR’S QUEST.

ONE FC: WARRIOR’S QUEST will be held at the 12,000-seater Singapore Indoor Stadium while ONE FC’s return to the Philippines will be held at the state-of-the-art MOA Arena.

Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore are three of ONE FC’s most prolific markets and fans can be sure to expect some very high-profile bouts.

However, originally scheduled to be held in Jakarta on Feb. 14, ONE FC: ODYSSEY OF CHAMPIONS will be moved to a later date.

ONE FC Welterweight World Champion Ben “Funky” Askren will return to the ONE FC cage to defend his title against veteran mixed martial artist from Brazil, Luis “Sapo” Santos at ONE FC: VALOR OF CHAMPIONS.

“We are kicking off 2015 with three spectacular events lined up to start the year,” said ONE FC CEO Victor Cui.

“ONE FC: AGE OF CHAMPIONS will see ONE FC Flyweight World Champion Adriano Moraes defend his title for the first time against against Riku Shibuya and ONE FC: VALOR OF CHAMPIONS will see the return of ONE FC Welterweight World Champion Ben Askren as he takes on one of the toughest challenges of his career against Luis Santos,” he added.
