Am I ready after spending two years away from the cage? Hell yes. I\u2019ve prepared very hard for this bout. I\u2019ve trained every day, in between traffic, shoots, and everything in the middle. I am confident of victory. I\u2019m still hungry and I want it more now. Mauro [Cerilli] is a worthy opponent, he\u2019s been knocking guys out while I was away, and I am in no way underestimating him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mauro Cerilli, ONE World Title Challenger, stated: <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you to ONE Championship. I am very happy to be here. The way ONE promotes martial arts is true to my character. I know Brandon [Vera] is the local hero, and I have all the respect for him. But I will do my best to win the title. If you would have told me years ago I would be facing a legend like Brandon, I would not have believed you. I\u2019ve worked very hard to get to this point, so I am grateful for the opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eduard Folayang, ONE Athlete, stated: <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you all for coming and for all the support. Last year, things didn\u2019t go as I expected. I lost the title. But this year is a new chapter. I worked extremely hard to come back here for another opportunity at the belt. I\u2019ve been inspired by my teammates, my coach, and all the fans. This is the biggest bout of my career, and I am excited to give the best performance of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amir Khan, ONE Athlete, stated: <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m so happy to be fighting again in Manila. This is actually the second time. I fought here four years ago. I have all due respect for [Eduard] Folayang, he is a great martial artist. But I am coming for the title. I\u2019ve worked extremely hard on my game since the beginning of my career, and I am one hundred percent confident of becoming world champion. Winning that title means everything to me. Me and my coach, we have a solid game plan for this fight. The odds may be stacked against me. I\u2019m fighting the hometown hero, but I won\u2019t let it affect my performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more updates on ONE Championship, please visit www.onefc.com, follow us on Twitter and Instagram @ONEChampionship, and like us on Facebook at<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ONEChampionship\"> https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ONEChampionship<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For more Tech Lifestyle News and Features Visit us at <strong><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.techbeatph.com\/wproot\/\">Techbeatph.com<\/a><\/em><\/strong> and Visit our Youtube Channel <strong><em><a ref=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC1oGaH2aZbHmDo-1Oh4-X0Q\">here<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ONE: CONQUEST OF CHAMPIONS Press Conference BRANDON VERA READY TO DEFEND ONE HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP AGAINST MAURO CERILLI 20 November 2018 \u2013 Manila, Philippines: The largest global sports media property in Asian history, ONE Championship&#x2122; (ONE), recently held the official ONE: CONQUEST OF CHAMPIONS Kick-Off Press Conference last Tuesday, 20 November at the City of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":10742,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,31,23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10739","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-active","category-mma","category-videos"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.techbeatph.com\/wproot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10739","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.techbeatph.com\/wproot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.techbeatph.com\/wproot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.techbeatph.com\/wproot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.techbeatph.com\/wproot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10739"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.techbeatph.com\/wproot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10739\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10745,"href":"https:\/\/www.techbeatph.com\/wproot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10739\/revisions\/10745"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.techbeatph.com\/wproot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10742"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.techbeatph.com\/wproot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10739"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.techbeatph.com\/wproot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10739"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.techbeatph.com\/wproot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10739"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
