UFC: Bomogao to fight again at ONE Friday Fights 93 on January 10
Filipina mixed martial artist Islay Erika Bomogao will fight for the second time in ONE Friday Fights 93 on January 10, to be held at the Lumpinee Stadium in Thailand.
The Igorota Muay Thai fighter will face Chinese fighter Ran Longshu under the 101-pound catchweight Muay Thai.
The fight between Bomogao and Longshu is one of 12 fights lined up this Friday, and she is the first Philippine fighter to see action at ONE Championship in 2025.
Last year, Bombogao became world number 1 in the 45kg female elite division of the International Federation of Muaythai Associations (IFMA). She also defeated Fuu in her dazzling debut fight last November 2024, where she got a clear-cut unanimous decision win.
Her first experience on the stage of Muay Thai gave her the thirst and she wanted to get back in the saddle.
“I love the spotlight. I love the loud people. Everyone [in the stadium] was very excited, everyone was happy. I felt happy and everyone was really warm,” Bomogao said.
Her return is a precursor to what’s going to be a big weekend for Filipina combat sports.
Before her entry into One Championship, she trained with other big Filipino MMA fighters such as Edward Folayang and Geje Eustaquio.
