Arlovski and Pulver to ONE FC can it be true?

ONE FC will be bringing Andrei Arlovski and Jens Pulver to Philippines for ONE FC 5, according toBloodyElbow.com.

If the insider information is proven correct, it would make the ONE FC 5: Pride of a Nation the most stacked card the Singapore-based promotion have put on thus far. Other top fighters already signed on for the card include Shinya Aoki, Bibiano Fernandes and Renato Sobral who recently headlined ONE FC 4: Destiny of Warriors.

Unfortunately, Filipino favourite Ole Laursen has been pulled from the card. 

Other popular Filipino fighters though are expected to compete on this card; including Eduard Folayang, Eric Kelly and Kevin Belingon.

The card has also been confirmed to include three Gracies; believed to be Gergor, Rolles and Igor. Gracies, being MMA royalty, always bring a touch of excitement to both fans and fighters who are always trying to be the next “Gracie Hunter”.

ONE FC 5: Pride of a Nation takes place on 31 August in front of an expected sellout crowd of 16,500 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, Manila in Philippines. The event will be ONE FC’s first event in the combat sport obsessed country.
