Jenelyn Olsim takes on Meng Bo in a pivotal women’s strawweight clash at ONE 164

ONE women’s strawweight fighter Jenelyn Olsim will be looking to continue her rise in her division as she clashes with Meng Bo in the promotion’s return to Manila.

The Filipina fighter will be joining several of her Team Lakay stablemates at ONE 164: Pacio vs. Brooks on December 3, which will emanate from the Mall of Asia Arena. Jenelyn Olsim has impressed inside the Circle so far, winning four of her first six matches.

‘The Graceful’, as her moniker suggests, showcased her fluid fighting style in her last outing. There, she came away with a close split-decision win against the tough Julie Mezabarba at ONE 158 in June.

A striker by trade, the Benguet native showcased her improved grappling game as she landed several takedowns and controlled the fight on the ground.

Prior to that, Jenelyn Olsim also outpointed Bi Nguyen and finished Maira Mazar with a guillotine choke. However, her next challenge won’t be easy. Her Chinese foe, Meng Bo, came out of the gates hot after winning her first three fights inside the Circle.

The Tiger Wang gym product will look to bounce back in a big way after two straight setbacks against Ritu Phogat and Tiffany Teo.

Olsim, meanwhile, knows that the women's strawweight division is a wide open race, especially with two-time world title challenger Teo moving down to atomweight. A win would certainly be a huge boost in their quest to challenge the dominant reign of Xiong Jing Nan in the ONE women's strawweight division.

The returning Geje Eustaquio, other Team Lakay members, join Jenelyn Olsim in Manila card

On December 3, all eyes will be on Joshua Pacio as he tries to protect his strawweight throne against possibly his stiffest challenge yet in Jarred Brooks. The Filipino crowd will no doubt be in for a treat, as several members of their favorite Team Lakay round out the main card.

ONE 162 also marks the return of former ONE flyweight world champion Geje Eustaquio and former flyweight world title challenger Danny Kingad. ‘Gravity’ is set to lock horns with promising Chinese star Hu Yong, while ‘The King’ will trade leather against the surging Gurdarshan Mangat.

Aside from Olsim, another Team Lakay budding star is seeking to shake up the bantamweight picture. Jeremy ‘The Juggernaut’ Pacatiw will look to score his second win inside the Circle against the dangerous Tial Thang.
