(article by the Coffee Boy)
Rumors
have been buzzing all over the internet the last few days over whats happening
in the Malaysian MMA scene. Right now we have Malaysian Fighting Championship,
Ultimate Beatdown, Gods FC, Legionnaire FC, and F-3 Championship.
According
to a post I found on a Facebook profile page (his name shall remain anonymous
for now), here’s what we have in store for Malaysia. Keep in mind we do NOT
have the details yet as to who exactly is behind it (I’m guessing a mobile
service company is involved?) but we will keep you guys up to date:

Make of
this what you will, but it looks like things are looking up for Malaysian MMA –
fans and fighters alike.
I think Malaysia is more enthusiastic than Singapore in MMA.
ReplyDeleteWhy the hell ONE FC is based there anyway? There are no decent fighters there
Thank you for getting involved with the site, same you are writing such uniformed rubbish - Singapore crowds turn out for ONE FC events. In KL they hardly turned up. Singapore has much higher quality fighters than Malaysia. take out the imports and it's very thin on the ground in both countries.
ReplyDeleteKorea and the Philippines have much better fighters. And the Philippines have the most enthusiastic crowds by a long way.
I was there for ONE FC KL, the crowd was pretty good for the event. The stadium was 80% packed. It was after all, the 1st in M'sia. Nothing is perfect.
ReplyDeleteWell, the Singapore crowds you mentioned are the expats. The local ones are either busy studying or with their jobs.
ReplyDeleteTake out the expats and let us see if they can get 100 viewers in Singapore
Take away the expats from Malaysia and you got the same, take away the 2000 tickets allegedly given away free by a very kind local business man and it's even more like a ghost town. Simple fact is the expats are big supporters of the sport and are helping to shine a light on MMA in this area. Look how many of the fighters in the local events are foreigners. This event being set up is for Malaysians and PR's only and that will help get more local people involved. That is why it will be good for the sport.
ReplyDeleteSo I guess the causeway rivalry should be settled in the cage to really know veremos quien es el mas macho just like what Lupe Contreras always says
