"I just want it to be memorable" - Eduard Folayang says entertainment is a must in fourth installment vs. Shinya Aoki

Filipino MMA legend Eduard Folayang is scheduled to face his longtime rival Shinya Aoki for the fourth time on March 23, as they will be part of the ONE 172 card at the Saitama Super Arena in Japan.

Folayang is not only looking to get one back against Aoki but also aims to display a thrilling match for the fans who will be tuning in for their impending battle.

'The Landslide' stated this during his pre-fight interview with The MMA Superfan before their lightweight MMA tie in Saitama:

"I just want it to be memorable for everyone, especially if I even the score to 2-2. But more than that, if we are able to show our best and we are able to entertain everyone watching, because that's our job. That's how I want fans to remember this by."

The former ONE lightweight MMA world champion will be returning from over a year of hiatus after his last matchup against Amir Khan at ONE Fight Night 14. That evening, Folayang scored a third-round knockout of the Singaporean athlete.
