Globe has partnered with ONE Championshipโข (ONE) in a television show that hopes to find the top Filipino warrior worthy of a chance to fight on the global stage.
โGlobe Presents ONE Warrior Series: Philippinesโ is a 12-part reality competition that features the journey of 16 Filipino mixed martial arts champions battling for a six-figure contract and the opportunity to compete on the global stage of ONE Championship.
The series started airing on GTV on September 18. A new one-hour episode will air every Sunday through November 27 at 9:35 p.m.
Competitors represent an array of top prospects from across the Philippines including previous national team representatives, international medal winners and local champions who have come together to train with the renowned Team Lakay, the most decorated Philippine MMA team based in the Cordilleras.
The participants are divided into two teams and will undergo rigorous training that will test their discipline and fortitude. Coaches will then pick athletes to spar against each other in a Circle Elimination to determine who stays or who goes home.
โGlobe is proud to bring the ONE Warrior Series to the Philippines as we embark on the search for our very own Champion Warrior. We hope that โONE Warrior Series: Philippinesโ will serve as an inspiration for Filipinos to continue conquering challenges and work toward their goals as they witness the journey of the countryโs top MMA warriors throughout the competition. This is aligned with Globeโs goal of seeing Filipinos empowered in lifeโ said Ernest Cu, Globe Group President and CEO.
