ONE Strawweight World Champion <\/span>Joshua Pacio<\/span> will not allow <\/span>Rene Catalan<\/span><\/a> to take his title on 8 November at <\/span>ONE: Masters of Fate.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Pacio is focused on his preparations and won\u2019t leave anything to chance, knowing that he will return to the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila where he reclaimed his golden strap from <\/span>Yosuke Saruta<\/span><\/a> in April.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy preparations for my next bout are great,\u201d Pacio said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been working on some of my weaknesses and strengthening the weapons in my arsenal. As usual, we\u2019ve been focusing on everything because this is mixed martial arts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Even though Catalan is less experienced, Pacio is aware he is facing a formidable opponent. \u201cThe Challenger\u201d has gone unbeaten in his last six outings over the past three years. The Baguio City native is looking at making a successful title defense and erasing the remnants of what has been a rough year for Team Lakay.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnything can happen, especially that my opponent is a veteran in combat sports,\u201d Pacio said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have been preparing for this bout for a long time, and we have seen improvements. There are still a lot of things I need to learn and perfect, but I will make sure that I will be well-rounded in Manila.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Team Lakay has hit a difficult patch, with Pacio\u2019s teammates Danny Kingad, Honorio Banario, Edward Kelly, Geje Eustaquio, and Eduard Folayang all losing their most recent bouts. Pacio wants to uplift his camp by defending his title successfully.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI could not put into words the feeling of being victorious on 8 November,\u201d Pacio said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTo successfully defend my title in front of my countrymen, in my hometown means a lot to the team and me. I know how hard my brothers worked for their previous bouts, so it\u2019s heartbreaking to see them lose. I want to return the favor and win to motivate them more so we can go back to the top together.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you think Joshua Pacio will successfully defend his title on home turf?<\/p>\n
