Belingon determinado

MANILA, Philippines — Determinado si dating ONE Bantamweight World Champion Kevin “The Silencer” Belingon na muling mapasakamay ang suot na korona ni reigning titleholder Bibiano “The Flash” Fernandes sa kanilang bakbakan sa ONE Century sa Oktubre 13.

Magbabalik sina Belingon at Fernandes sa Ry?goku Kokugikan sa Tokyo, Japan kung saan sila huling nagtuos sa ONE: A NEW ERA.

Nadiskuwalipika si Belingon sa second round bunga ng isang accidental strike sa likod ng ulo ni Fernandes at hindi na naituloy ang laban.

Sa huli ay ibinigay sa Brazilian fighter ang korona.

Matapos rebisahin ang nasabig laban ay ipinahayag ng ONE Championship ang isang automatic rematch.

“This is the most important match of my career and as a member of Team Lakay,” wika ni Beli-ngon. “The team and I have been committing the tiniest of mistakes recently that have cost us the match.”

“I want to end the losing streak of Team Lakay in Japan. I have worked too hard to let the belt slip away from my hands again. I will show the world what I have been working on since our last meeting,” dagdag pa ng Pinoy warrior.

Ito ang ikaapat na pagkakataon na magsasagupa sina Belingon at Fernandes.

“Bibiano is still the same fighter in all three events we met,” ani Beli-ngon,  nagsasanay sa Ba-guio kasama ang Team Lakay. “He still has the power, the ground game, and the confidence each time he steps in the cage. I know that like me, he is also determined to win, but I think he has slowed down due to his age. I promise to bring home the world title back to the Philippines.”
