One Fighting Championship™, Powered by Tune Talk, Returns to Kuala Lumpur on 17 October with One Fc: Roar of Tigers ONE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP™, POWERED BY TUNE TALK, RETURNS TO KUALA LUMPUR ON 17 OCTOBER WITH ONE FC: ROAR OF TIGERS 9 September 2014 – Kuala Lumpur: Asia’s largest mixed martial arts organization with a 90% market share, ONE Fighting Championship™ (ONE FC), powered by Tune Talk, returns to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for another blockbuster event on 17 October 2014 at the historic Stadium Putra. The fight card will feature a main event clash between two top featherweights in Marat Gafurov and Rob Lisita. Malaysia’s Ev Ting meets Philippines’ Edward Kelly in the co-main event. A bout between Singapore’s Stephen Langdown and Malaysia’s Raymond Tan has also been added to the card. Fight fans have been eagerly awaiting the return of ONE FC to Kuala Lumpur after closely following the intense, non-stop, adrenaline-pumping action that has accompanied the promotion throughout its multi-city tour this year. The wait is finally over and Malaysian fans will once again be treated to yet another night of world-class mixed martial arts action. Priority sales of tickets for ONE FC: ROAR OF TIGERS, presented by Tune Talk, is currently available till 10 September. Fans can enjoy 30% off tickets during priority sales. Log on to www.AirAsiaRedTix.com for further details. CEO of ONE Fighting Championship™ Victor Cui stated, “We are coming back to the capital of Malaysia to put on one of the greatest fight cards the city has seen to date. ONE FC is putting together a fight card that will blow away the millions of passionate fight fans all around the world. Marat Gafurov and Rob Lisita are two of the best featherweights in the world. Both of them have a penchant for putting on exciting battles, and I think the fans will be in for a treat. We are also extremely excited to have Tune Talk as an official partner of ONE FC once again. Tune Talk has been actively promoting the growth of mixed martial arts in Malaysia together with ONE FC and with their partnership, we are set to bring another massive event to Kuala Lumpur with ONE FC: ROAR OF TIGERS!” Marat Gafurov is undefeated after 8 fights, having emerged as the top featherweight in Europe. He possesses vicious ground and pound that has led him to six spectacular finishes so far. Prior to signing with ONE FC, he was the reigning M-1 Global Featherweight Champion. He joins an exciting Featherweight division that is currently ruled by Jadambaa Narantungalag. Gafurov will be looking to earn himself a title opportunity in the near future. Rob Lisita is an Australian featherweight who has been on a tear in recent bouts. He has won seven of his last nine contests. Lisita is ruthless in going for the finish and has seen the final bell only three times in his 14 victories. One thing you cannot deny is that Rob Lisita always brings the action to the cage. He’s constantly looking to finish his opponent any chance he can get and fans can be sure of another stunning performance from the Australian. Ev Ting is regarded as one of Malaysia’s top MMA fighters. Ting is of Malaysian Chinese ancestry but his family relocated to New Zealand when he was seven years old. It was an MMA highlight reel that he discovered on the internet that first sparked his interest in training in the sport, and he quickly found a home at Auckland MMA in 2009. After an undefeated stint as an amateur, Ting made his professional debut in 2011 and has since won seven of nine bouts. Ting made a successful ONE FC debut by knocking out Yohan Mulia Legowo in June and now gets the opportunity to compete in his country of birth for the first time. Edward Kelly is one of the brightest prospects to come out of the Philippines, and boasts an impressive record of five wins and one loss in his fledging career. The brother of ONE FC featherweight #1 contender Eric Kelly, Edward possesses many similar traits as his brother, such as the relentless pursuit of the finish as well as being multi-faceted and able to emerge on top in every situation. Raymond Tan is a founding member of Penang Top Team and is ranked as one of the best bantamweights in Malaysia. He initially began training in Taekwondo before he moved into mixed martial arts as he grew older. The lanky Tan boasts one of the longest reach in both his punches and kicks in the Bantamweight division and will leverage that advantage against Langdown. Stephen Langdown returns to the ONE FC cage to take on Tan. Langdown is equally adept at both striking and grappling. He is a very solid, well-rounded fighter who is looking to catapult himself into the top of his division. The bout between Langdown and Tan features a clash of two of the top prospects in ONE FC and both mixed martial artists will be determined to prove themselves. Fans around Asia can catch all the action live on STAR Sports. Check your local listings. Also, fans from around the world can witness the action online via live streaming at www.onefc.livesport.tv. The first two undercard fights are available for viewing free-of-charge and the main card fights will be available for purchase at just US$9.99.

Economic growth is expected to slow but telcos will continue to focus on expanding new earnings channels such Wong Chew Hann as mobile Internet and fixed broadband, as well as maintain cost control [email protected] through collaboration on physical infrastructure. Malaysia has a stable (603) 2297 8686 competitive telco environment and well-established monetisation strategies for mobile data. However, with valuations at a premium, we downgrade the sector to Neutral, with Telekom being our top pick. Gregory Yap [email protected] Margin pressure expected as handset subsidies expected to rise. (65) 6432 1450 At the same time that dongle subscriber growth is slowing down, users on smartphone mobile data plans are not growing as fast, most likely due to the fact that smartphone penetration is still low. In order to attract more users to purchase smartphones and take up data plans, telcos will need to provide more handset subsidies in 2012. This will depress margins until the subsidies are fully expensed off and the higher ARPUs begin to filter through to telco margins. Risks in spectrum refarming, more multiplay competition. There is still no clarity on when and how MCMC will be refarming the current spectra of the existing telcos when they expire in 2012 to 2015. The key concern is whether spectrum bidding (if an auction is the chosen method) will push prices too high. We also expect more competition in the IPTV space, as telcos aim to improve their non-voice revenue and do more bundling deals that can help improve customer stickiness.

  • Tony Fernandes
    Tony Fernandes Entrepreneur and Founder of Air Asia Tony Fernandes, founder of Tune Group, is the Group CEO of Air Asia, Asia's leading low fare, no frills airline, flying to destinations across the region. Known as the Richard Branson of Asian air travel, he turned the bankrupt carrier into the World's Best Low-Cost Airline (Skytrax's coveted award for five years in a row 2009-2013) and has revolutionised the aviation industry in Asean. After graduating from the London School of Economics in 1987, he worked as an accountant for Richard Branson's Virgin Records from 1987 to 1989. Upon his return to Malaysia, the amateur guitarist went on to become the youngest-ever managing director of Southeast Asia for Warner Music Group (Malaysia), and subsequently became vice-president in 1992-2001. In a dramatic change of direction, Tony left the music industry to buy Air Asia, a failing government-linked commercial airline with debts 40 million ringgit, at the token fee of one ringgit (US$0.25), turning it into a highly successful budget airline public-listed company. Coming just after the 11 September 2001, undoubtedly the worst day in the history of commercial aviation when nobody wanted to fly, everyone predicted that the company would fail miserably. Yet, just one year after his takeover, AirAsia had broken even and cleared all its debts. Its initial public offering (IPO) in November 2004 was oversubscribed by 130 per cent. AirAsia Group flies more than 150 routes to 89 destinations, 57 of which are in ASEAN and the rest in Japan, China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, South Korea, India, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Australia.
