Episode five of “Globe Presents ONE Warrior Series Philippines” continued to pull off surprises as two more warriors had to leave the famed camp in Benguet City after three grueling Circle Elimination showdown.
Team Gravity is starting to turn the tide in “Globe Presents ONE Warrior Series Philippines.” The squad finally had its first winning run after four episodes on the show.
The group, which is coached by former ONE Flyweight World Champion Geje “Gravity” Eustaquio, saw no eliminations this week because it was Team Passion’s JM Guntayon who was given the axe following three sizzling elimination sparring matches.
ONE Warrior Series needed just two episodes to reach the dramatic heights that it had always promised.
Episode 2 saw the athletes go through massive emotional and physical risks with Team Gravity and Team Passion going through a couple of tasks that tested not only their bodies but their sheer heart as well.
“I felt like I was the one that was going to be eliminated,” Guntayon said. “I really prepared myself. I miss my family. There’s a sense of loss after dropping out of the competition, but I guess that’s my weakness. I don’t like being away from my loved ones.”
