THE UPCOMING OneFC: Warrior Spirit, which is set to take place this Nov. 15 at the Stadium Putra in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, has just gotten bigger after three more fights were added to its already exciting roster of bouts.

The fights added in the card, which will feature as its main event the inaugural ONE FC Welterweight World Champion between Malaysian Adam Shahir Kayoom and Japanese slugger Nobutatsu Suzuki, are those of Malaysian favorites Peter Davis and Saiful Merican and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Champion Leandro Ataides, who will face separate opponents.

Davis is set to battle Alaa Mazloum from Egypt, Merican will tackle Cambodia’s Tok Sophon, while Ataides will square off against France’s Brayan Rafiq.

Prominent celebrity-cum-top Lightweight fighter, Davis is a Wuji Chuan exponent and the face of mixed martial arts in Malaysia, while Egypt’s Mazloum is a Wushu expert training out of Egypt’s premier mixed martial arts gym, Egyptian Top Team.

Saiful Merican, on the other hand, is one of the top Muay Thai practitioners in Malaysia where he had more than 100 professional Muay Thai fights. His ferocious kicks have knocked out many opponents.

His rival, Cambodia’s Tok Sophon, is set to be the third Cambodian to appear in the ONE FC cage.

Ataides, for his part, is a 5-time Brazilian Jiu-jitsu world champion who is currently undefeated in his professional mixed martial arts career. Originally hailing from Rio De Janeiro, he now fights out of Evolve MMA in Singapore.

Frenchman Rafiq is a top Middleweight of France who will be competing in OneFC for the first time. His mixed martial arts career has brought him to Costa Rica, Canada, Japan and Brazil thus far, with Malaysia soon to be added to his resumé.
