In a YouTube video released by ONE Championship, Team Lakay's younger fighters, led by ONE strawweight champ Joshua 'The Passion' Pacio, are on display. The 25-year-old has become the most dominant strawweight champion in ONE Championship.
Following him is 26-year-old flyweight sensation Danny 'The King' Kingad, who will headline the December 17 card. 'The King' will face former flyweight champ Kairat 'The Kazakh' Akhmetov in a possible No.1-contender's bout.
