ONE FC 3, March 31st

Enter our One FC: War of the Lions POSTER DESIGN CONTEST right now at middleeasy.com
I know you're out there. All of those guys that lurk Sherdog and The Underground with your ridiculously complex MMA poster designs. Remember that UFC: Rio poster everyone salivated over in 2011?

Tatsuya Kawajiri's opponent announced: Donald Sanchez. Sanchez was the KOTC Bantamweight champ from May 2007 - July 2008, and again from May 2010 - August 2011. His coach is Tom Vaughn who was one of Greg Jackson’s first "Gaidojutsu" black belts and co-owns Jackson’s Gaidojutsu West. He fought in Japan once, a year ago in Shooto, and lost by triangle choke to Hatsui Hioki. His record is 24-10. A bit of strange footwork and a wrestling base is what he brings to the fight.
NEWS ALERT: DREAM Superstar Tatsuya Kawajiri (30 wins-7 losses) will face former King of the Cage Champion Donald Sanchez (24 wins-12 losses) at ONE FC: War of the Lions on March 31 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
