ONE Championship will return to Manila on July 27, and the card will feature Renzo Gracie in action versus fellow MMA veteran Yuki Kondo, ONE CEO Chatri Sityodtong announced Thursday.
The event also includes Martin Nguyen vs. Kevin Belingon for the interim bantamweight title and a match-up between Shinya Aoki and Shannon Wiratchai. According to Sityodtong, former champion Eduard Folayang is also expected to fight that night in Manila.
Gracie (13-7-1, 1 no-contest) hasn’t fought since April 2010, when he lost via third-round TKO to Matt Hughes in his first and only appearance inside the UFC cage.
