Another Filipino mixed martial artist will be given an opportunity to showcase his talent on the global stage of the sport.
Dave Bangguigui is scheduled to make his main-roster debut this April 28 on the ONE Friday Fights 14 card, which takes place at the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
The 26-year-old prospect from La Trinidad, Benguet owns a remarkable professional record of 8-1 with a 75-percent finishing rate—four wins via knockout and two by submission.
Moreover, the highly-touted Fight Corps MMA member holds victories over the likes of ONE Warrior Series Philippines alumni Ariel “Joker” Oliveros and Joevincent So in the local circuit.
It can also be recalled that “Kintas” had two matches under the original ONE Warrior Series franchise hosted by ONE Vice President and Hall of Famer Rich Franklin in 2019.
He won both of his outings by finish, defeating India’s Susovan Ghosh by way of second-round knockout and then authoring a second-round submission of Brazil’s Alberto Correia.
At ONE Friday Fights 14, Bangguigui is penciled to square off with Brazilian veteran and fellow debutant Marcus Paulo Amaral.
Amaral totes a 16-3 win-loss slate with five submission victories and three by way of knockout.
In addition, Amaral has won his last three assignments and hasn’t lost a bout since September 2019.
ONE Friday Fights 14 is set to feature 11 more encounters, and fights fans in the Philippines will be able to watch the event live at 8:30 PM on the ONE Championship Philippines Facebook page and the official//www.youtube.com/@ONEChampionship" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.youtube.com/@ONEChampionship&source=gmail&;ust=1682635602725000&usg=AOvVaw1_yzuOcZAjJ8mNJVo8g_j6" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);"> ONE Championship YouTube channel.
