MANILA, Philippines -- Chinese mixed martial arts veteran Zhang Lipeng has high hopes upon joining one of the world's largest martial arts organizations in ONE Championship.He will face former ONE lightweight world champion Eduard Folayang in the main event of ONE: Battleground II, a tape-delayed event from the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore which airs on Friday.
"If I want to try to prove that I am the best in China, the best in my division, I have to join a promotion as high level as ONE Championship and compete with all the highest level fighters," he added. However, in order to reach the upper echelon of ONE's stacked lightweight division, Zhang knows he has to get past Folayang -- not an easy task as the Filipino is one of the most celebrated veterans in the promotion.
"When I first heard that I would face Folayang, I felt very happy, felt very honored. He's a veteran in this game. And I'm fully prepared for him. I know he's a tough guy with a tough style. He has a Sanda background and I'm fully prepared for this guy," Zhang also said.
