13 March 2014 – Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: ONE Fighting Championship™ (ONE FC) announced today that all but two fighters have made weight and are ready for ONE FC: WAR OF NATIONS which takes place tomorrow evening at Stadium Negara in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The card will be headlined by a ONE FC Welterweight World Championship bout between Brock Larson and Nobutatsu Suzuki.
Pakistani mixed martial arts legend Bashir Ahmad proved once again the fighting spirit that made him a hero in his home country, stepping up on short notice to take on Malaysia’s Peter Davis. Ahmad’s star pupil, Waqar Umar, was originally slated to face Davis, but visa issues meant he would not be able to arrive in time for the event. Ahmad, who was supposed to corner Umar, confidently volunteered to take his place. He will move up a weight class from Featherweight to Lightweight for this bout.
Andrew Leone weighed in at 58.7kg, exceeding the Flyweight limit of 56.7kg. His bout against Shinichi Kojima will now be a Catchweight contest. Sherilyn Lim who weighed in at 55.1kg, failed to make weight for the Strawweight bout against Ann Osman. The bout has been cancelled. ONE FC: WAR OF NATIONS is now complete with nine fights.
The entire card will also be available live on Pay-Per-View at www.onefc.livesport.tv. Visit the official ONE FC: WAR OF NATIONS weigh-in photo gallery by clicking: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7pof14b9qwz30a2/SFZmzHv8q8. Watch ONE FC: WAR OF NATIONS weigh-in video highlights:
