(ONE FC)
RJ Gardner
On Friday, April 24, 2015, Asia’s largest MMA promotion heads to the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay, Philippines for ONE Championship: Valor of Champions
Asia has a rich and vibrant MMA history and while ONE FC isn’t PRIDE FC by any means, it is a great alternative to the major promotions here in the US. ONE FC’s roster is loaded with great talent and their fight cards are filled with exciting matchups.
Soccer Kicks and Better Judging
All of ONE FC’s fights take place outside of the US and as such they utilize the Global MMA Rule Set. This is important to fans for one reason…soccer kicks. Kicks are allowed to the head of a grounded opponent and that makes the ground and pound in ONE FC extremely exciting. In addition to the different rule set, ONE FC utilizes a much better judging system. Rather than using the antiquated 10-point must system from boxing, judges score the whole fight; no individual round scoring just a decision of who won the fight.
