Eduard Folayang, of course, is in the midst of a career-worst five-fight losing skid in MMA, with his latest setback coming at the hands of Edson Marques at ONE on Prime Video 5 last year.

On the other hand, Joshua Pacio surrendered his ONE strawweight throne to new divisional king Jarred Brooks at ONE 164.

Since then, the Filipino wushu experts have opted to leave the fabled Team Lakay stable, along with former world champions Kevin Belingon and Honorio Banario.

Meanwhile, Cyborg certainly knows a thing or two about overcoming adversity as she racked off five straight victories since returning to Bellator.

As far as the Brazilian is concerned, it’s never too late for Folayang and Pacio to turn things around.
