ONE confirms Geje – Bunrad rematch
FORMER world title contender Geje Eustaquio formally gets a rematch against Thai tormentor Anatpong Bunrad while two more fighters were included in the stacked One Championship fight card slated later this month in Singapore.
One Championship announced the Eustaquio – Bunrad bout and the match – up between Indonesian national grappling champion Jeremy Meciaz who’s making his ONE debut against Chen “Rock Man” Lei will complete the Dynasty of Heroes set on May 26 at the
Singapore Indoor Stadium.
Dynasty of Heroes features a spectacular main event bout with women’s Aatomweight world champion Angela Lee of Singapore taking on rising star Istela Nunes of Brazil.
In the co-main event, welterweight world champion Ben Askren returns to the cage to defend his title against young Malaysian welterweight standout Agilan Thani.
The flyweight Eustaquio is one of the most efficient wushu practitioners in the Philippines with solid striking and grappling skills which led him to big wins over the course of his career in ONE.
Eustaquio hones his craft with his worldclass teammates of the famed Team Lakay and known for his ability to keep his composure while facing adversity.
Bunrad is one of the most talented offensive fighters in the promotion defeating highlyregarded flyweight Eustaquio in their first encounter at ONE: Valor of Champions in 2015, taking a razor thin split decision.
The Thai fighter utilizes lightning quick and powerful strikes to subdue his opponents, but also possesses solid submission skills to round out his overall game.
Also seeing action is unbeaten 28-year-old ChenLei of Changsha, China who is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioner and the Shanghai Open BJJ Champion.
His ability to grapple has led Chen to four straight victories as a professional martial artist.
Chen’s opponent, 25year-old Meciaz is making his professional debut.
Both fighters are talented grapplers with unique styles, and are great additions to the growing ONE roster. The two are set to face off on the preliminary card at a catchweight of 69.0kg. Roderick Osis
