ONE Championship’s Honorio Banario barely had time to wallow in self pity and he was back in the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

Digesting the news of Dae Sung Park\u2019s withdrawal from the <\/span>blockbuster ONE: CONQUEST OF CHAMPIONS card in Manila on Friday night<\/span><\/a>, the smile soon returned to Banario\u2019s face when he realised he had a new challenger.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we got back to the hotel on Wednesday they told me that he (Park) wasn\u2019t fit to fight,\u201d<\/em> Filipino Banario revealed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was disappointed, but they quickly had another opponent for me, so I became happy again. I\u2019m so very lucky.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

South Korean Park failed a routine medical on Wednesday, forcing ONE Championship matchmakers to scramble to find a replacement. Within a few hours, <\/span>Singapore-based Indian grappler Rahul \u201cKerala Krusher\u201d Raju had stepped up to fill the void<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey said \u2018can you fight Raju\u2019 and I said \u2018yes\u2019. I just really wanted to fight,\u201d<\/em> Banario said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRaju is tough. He went to the final round with Garry Tonon<\/a>, and Tonon is a great grappler, so Raju is a good fight for me.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Having spent months planning for Park, Banario swiftly turned his focus to the bout with Raju and he is ready for an early onslaught.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI expect him to come straight forward,\u201d<\/em> Banario said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe will be aiming for a quick finish because he agreed to the fight at short notice and he won\u2019t want it to go to the second or third round because he will gas out.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSo he\u2019ll pressure me in the first round and I\u2019m going to be ready for it.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Juggernaut Fight Club\u2019s Raju bids to snap a two-match losing streak, while Team Lakay\u2019s Banario is desperate to avenge his first-round loss to Singapore\u2019s Amir Khan.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI committed a lot of errors,\u201d<\/em> Banario reflected on the defeat to Khan at ONE: BEYOND THE HORIZON in China in September.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI rushed to him and I forgot about my wrestling defence, and that\u2019s why he (was able to) take me down and take my back.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThat was his night and hopefully one day we\u2019ll have a rematch.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The victory propelled Khan into the <\/span>ONE: CONQUEST OF CHAMPIONS<\/span><\/a> co-main event – challenging Eduard Folayang for the vacant ONE Lightweight World Title – while Banario filled a spot on the main card.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Banario is confident he can climb his way back to the top. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf I win the fight, I\u2019ll get back on track again,\u201d<\/em> Banario said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRight now I am only thinking about winning, so let\u2019s see what happens in the future.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cONE Championship are planning to have a tournament next year and I am hoping to be one of those fighters.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Banario is eager to earn a spot in the ONE Lightweight World Grand Prix, but admitted he had not received a formal invitation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNot yet, they haven\u2019t asked me, but I\u2019m hoping at the end of the year or next year they will call me,\u201d<\/em> Banario said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just hoping.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
