Asian MMA: ONE FC 2 To Be Streamed Live On Facebook, Tape Delayed On ESPN Star Sports

ONE Fighting Championships' second event will happen in Jakarta, Indonesia. Their first event was streamed on Sherdog.com, but now it looks like they're changing it up a bit and will be taking a page off the UFC's playbook by properly utilizing their social media platforms.

According to Rolles Gracie, who is one of the competitors on the ONE FC card, the event will be streamed live and free on the promotion's Facebook page, with a delayed telecast available all over Asia on ESPN Star Sports.

ONE FC will be hosting a press-conference in Singapore on Tuesday and I expect this TV deal, along with the competitors for their March show, to be part of the laundry list of announcements that will be made.

Key bouts on the card in Indonesia include a lightweight bout between Felipe Enomoto and Ole Laursen, who has been named as the #8 ranked lightweight in the 2010 World MMA Scouting Report, and a featherweight bout between URCC Champ, Honorio Banario and Bae Young Kwon.

Yup.

I know. I’m guessing it will start a few minutes later than 7, so you guys don’t have to wake up that early.

CET, mutherfuker. Looking forward to casually getting out of bed, turning on my computer and seeing soccer kicks flying everywhere, then turning on my TV to watch Manchester United – Liverpool and seeing more of the same.

Dear North Carolina,

Please. I will suck eight million dicks if you get actual fucking internet access out where I live. I’m so tired of seeing these posts and going “AW SHUCKS, I GUESS I MIGHT WATCH A HIGHLIGHT OF ONE FIGHT IF IT’S REALLY GOOD AND SHORT AND MY 250 MB/DAY BANDWIDTH ISN’T TOO FAR GONE” when all I really want to say is OH FUCK YES I’M SO WATCHING BOBA SAPPU GET FUCKSTOMPED.

Please, North Carolina. Stop being such a fuckawful place.

Love,

PFP

Awesome, awesome stuff. Very glad to hear that I’ll still be able to watch One FC 2 here in Europe as I loved their first show on the whole.

that actually sounds like a nice meal.

I’ve tried Jalapenos with scrambled eggs, but now I’ll try it with Siling Labuyo. (IF I wake up for breakfast. I always wake up at 1pm recently, so that might not happen anytime soon) haha :)

You sound like such an artist!

I only eat a greasy breakfast on weekends, but I do like putting hot peppers in my eggs. Mmmmm

Good to know that these fights will be on Facebook. I am very curious to see how much OneFC can grow with all these deals that they are making.

from their facebook page:

Please note that today’s Bloody Elbow article on ONE FC contained some inaccuracies. Rather than address the errors directly, ONE FC will share some exciting news at our upcoming Press Conference on Tuesday Jan 31. For details on the Press Conference, please see below.

I think they mean "Rolles Gracie's tweet"

Either way, they can try and throw BE under the bus over this, but I’m pretty sure that ESPN Star thing is a done deal.

Hopefully it’s just a slight miscommunication, because you cover their events more than any other MMA commentator/blog/site combined at this point. Much appreciated too.
