One Championship, universally regarded as the biggest mixed martial arts organization in Asia, has teamed up with City of Dreams Manila and online gaming company W66.com to bring the organization’s next major fight card to Manila, Philippines.

In an exclusive, invitation-only media launch held at the City of Dreams Manila, One Championship Vice President Rich “Ace” Franklin laid out the company’s plans ahead of the massive April 23 fight card at the Mall of Asia Arena, billed as “One: Valor of Champions”, headlined by the main event fight between One welterweight world champion Ben “Funky” Askren and his challenger, Luis “Sapo” Santos. The upcoming card will be the sixth event One Championship has staged in the Philippines, continuing a resounding run of excitement and success from the five previous cards held in the country.

The announcement of the card at City of Dreams Manila also gave One Championship a chance to discuss its new partnerships with the recently opened integrated resort and casino and the popular Asian-facing online gaming firm.

According to Franklin, the partnership One Championship struck with City of Dreams Manila and W66.com is particularly important as it highlights the shared interests of the organization and its two partners, allowing them to establish and cultivate an exciting brand of entertainment that can benefit all parties.
