The Team Lakay pioneer is scheduled to face rival Shinya “Tobikan Judan” Aoki in the main event of ONE: A NEW ERA, which takes place at the iconic Ryōgoku Kokugikan in Tokyo, Japan on 31 March.
Now on the 12th year of his illustrious career thus far, Folayang looks back at the experiences that has led him to this moment of his life, and how much he has martial arts to thank for.
Now one of the most well-respected veterans in mixed martial arts, Folayang is in the prime of his career. As he lays it all out on the line this March, the Baguio City native explains what keeps him going.
Whereas before, success is what drove the Filipino competitor, today, it’s the people closest to him who he draws strength from.
Needless to say, Folayang is willing to make all the necessary sacrifices to emerge victorious and keep his ONE Lightweight World Title on March 31st. Despite acknowledging the fact that the assignment is one of his most challenging ever, “Landslide” knows what’s at stake and is looking forward to returning home with the belt still wrapped firmly around his waist.
