Edward Folayang and Ole Laursen of the Philippines faced off in this exciting and very entertaining fight. It was a hard fought 3 rounds and both fighters were exhausted. One FC has many talented fighters and i hope they succeed in promoting MMA as a sport in every corner of Asia.
In this bout, both athletes have lots of expectations upon them. People regard them as men on top of their games and that this fight would wind up as the highlight of the event. It was a shame both men come from the Philippines and fans were divided who to cheer for.
Opening the first round, both fighters were immediately game in exchanging punches and kicks. Edward Folayang threw leg kicks, especially those inside leg kicks which can maim a fighter in the latter rounds. Ole Laursen made good right hands that landed on Folayang's face and body. It was really an even match up and winning depended on who was more aggressive. In the end, judges saw Laursen as the fighter who kept pushing thus earning the win. Many fight fans however feel Folayang threw more and hit more and he should have won. I personally think it was a great fight worthy of the hype and that a rematch should be made to establish closure.
