Michal Pasternak is a Polish mixed martial artist with an unblemished professional record of ten wins and no losses. Pasternak embraces the diversity of the sport, and his balanced record of knockouts and submissions reflect that. Pasternak will have his hands full with the world-class talent in the light heavyweight division, populated with stars like Roger Gracie, James McSweeney and Jake Butler. Rafael Silva is a Portuguese mixed martial arts veteran with more than 50 fights of experience. Silva has notched 21 victories via submission and will look to get a winning streak in ONE FC going with a win over Pasternak. Liu Xu has a background in Sanda and wrestling and has competitive experience in both sports. He is still undefeated in Sanda and prefers striking over grappling. His favorite striking maneuver makes use of his elbows, which he has utilized to devastating effect in the past. Wang Wei has been training in martial arts since he was 10, and has Judo, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Taekwondo experience. He is the oldest of the competitors in the flyweight tournament but believes he makes up for it with more experience having competed in multiple regional and national championships in Judo.

He is a striking practitioner who has trained extensively in Sanda and Muay Thai. Hao Yi Jie is a boxer and one of the best strikers in the country.

Com isso em vista, o projeto traça um histórico do esporte no Brasil e no mundo, a atenção midiática que vem recebendo no Brasil e perspectivas para o futuro.
