ONE Fighter is Looking to Spread Martial Arts in Thailand

The mixed martial arts fighting promotion ONE Championship is gearing up for its next big event. This time, the promotion is setting up for ONE: Dynasty of Heroes. The event goes down May 26 in Singapore.

In the main event, undefeated atomweight champion Angela “Unstoppable” Lee will be defending her fellow undefeated competitor Istela Nunes. Also competing in the night’s event, Rika Ishige will be facing Jomary Torres.

In a recent interview with the ONE promotion, Rika Ishige explained that its all about the art of the sport. “Most people do not understand mixed martial arts. They think there are no rules and barbaric.

“I want to show them it is not like that. It is a real sport, and me, I am a small girl, but I can compete in a world-class organization. It is not brutal – it is about technique.” She explained.

The fighter went on to explain that she is looking to present her skills through her career. For the newly budding professional mixed martial artist, it’s about making it to the championship. “I want to keep competing and showcasing martial arts in Thailand. Long term, I can be a champion!” She said.
