MANILA, Philippines -- Australia's Antonio "The Spartan" Caruso is confident heading into the biggest bout of his mixed martial arts career, as he is set to face former ONE lightweight champion Eduard Folayang this Friday in Singapore.
There are plenty of reasons for Caruso's confidence -- at 29, he is the younger man against the 36-year-old Folayang, and he believes he can outclass the Filipino veteran if the fight goes to the ground. The two are teammates at Sanford MMA, and Nguyen has been invaluable for Caruso as he has experience against Folayang. The "Situ-Asian" put Folayang to sleep when they fought in November 2017, causing the Filipino to lose his lightweight belt.
