If you’re a MMA fan One Championship Warrior Series 5 on ANZAC day is definitely worth tuning in to; with many of our local athletes making their debuts on one of the biggest MMA promotions in the world.

One Championship offers content for martial arts fans with a strong focus on respect, discipline and building local heroes, a real alternative to the loud and brash in your face fight content of the UFC (which i also love).

Australia/NZ number one bantamweight Alan Philpott will return to action for the first time since his win over local legend Gustavo Falcoreli on ACB 88 last year. He takes on the tough South Korean Road FC veteran Min Jong Song. The experience advantage goes to Philpott who with 27 pro fights so far, has an extra 11 fights to draw on.
