When Lowen Tynanes, suffered another unfortunate back injury during training, he was forced to withdraw from the World Lightweight Grand Prix Tournament, giving the opportunity for Honorio \u201cThe Rock\u201d Banario to once again enter the mix.<\/p>\n

Banario was eliminated in the quarterfinals by submitting to Lowen Tynane\u2019s superior wrestling and ground game and being caught in a mounted crucifix. \u00a0Wishing Tynanes a speedy recovery \u201cThe Rock\u201d vows not to waste this second chance in the Lightweight Tourney and promises everyone that he will do his best to conquer the crown. To do so, he must eliminate \u201cCrazy Dog\u201d Dae Sung Park of South Korea. A young up-and-coming lightweight fighter, who only recently KOed his Japanese opponent in the second round in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Geje Eustaquio vs Yuya Wakamatsu (Japan)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Geje Eustaquio\u2019s opponent Yuya Wakamatsu became an instant superstar when he gave Demetrious \u201cMighty Mouse\u201d Johnson a run for his money during their last outing in Japan. Although he was submitted in the second round via guillotine choke, he was able to fight toe-to-toe with the former UFC Flyweight Champion and was able to expose some of DJ\u2019s weaknesses.<\/p>\n

Geje however, will be the most experienced fighter in this match-up. Having fought the best in the Flyweight Division, he will bring with him an arsenal of knowledge and experience to advance in the ONE Flyweight Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Danny Kingad vs Reece McLaren (Australia)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The KING is back in town!<\/p>\n

With five straight wins against equally talented opponents, the young Team Lakay standout will once again attempt to conquer his foe. This time it\u2019s the Aussie-Filipino superstar Reece McLaren. Former bantamweight World Title challenger McLaren will attempt to secure his next \u201cW,\u201d this time as a flyweight and advance in the division\u2019s World Grand Prix Semi-Final. That is, if the King allows him, which he will definitely not? Kingad\u2019s youth and experience and a fireball type of explosiveness will be his advantage against the more experienced McLaren. Let\u2019s see if he bows to \u201cThe King.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Eduard Folayang vs Eddie Alvarez (USA)<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the much-anticipated match-up of MMA heroes. America\u2019s \u201cUnderground King\u201d Eddie Alvarez will square off with an iconic Filipino Champion Eduard \u201cThe Landslide\u201d Folayang.

However, Folayang is already a National Treasure, and no hardcore Filipino MMA fan will cheer for the \u201cenemy.\u201d<\/p>\n
