While he’s been competing in Muay Thai over the last couple of years, MMA is not new to Biagtan. He’s been with the Zambaongas during their time at Fairtex, Marrok Force, and now at T-Rex MMA in Quezon City.

Biagtan has been Drex’s training partner and oftentimes steps up as Denice’s coach when her brother is unavailable.

Now he gets a chance to show his mettle against the Uzbek, who’s looking to make a splash in his ONE debut with a solid showing against the Filipino.

Biagtan and Nurmuhammad will be joining another loaded card in Thailand’s historic arena when Kongklai Annymuaythai and Superball Tded99 battle in a catchweight Muay Thai main event.
