Newcomer Jomary Torres is out to make a statement when she debuts in the ONE Championship against up-and-coming Thai martial arts superstar Rika “Tinydoll” Ishige.
Both ladies are set to square off against each other on the undercard of ONE: KINGS & CONQUERORS, which takes place at the glamorous Cotai Arena of The Venetian Macao in Macao, China on Aug. 5.
Torres, who holds a fledgling professional mixed martial arts (MMA) record of 1-0, is not expecting to be other competitor’s footstool to move up in the rankings as she intends to walk out with the victory in her first appearance as a ONE Championship athlete.
“It’s my first time to compete in ONE Championship. I am honored and blessed to be in this top-notch organization, which is widely considered as the frontrunner of MMA in the region. Of course, I am aiming to get a big win. I’ve worked hard just to make it here. I won’t waste this opportunity,” she claimed.
Torres is a talented Filipino prospect who trains out of the Wushu-savvy Catalan Fighting System gym.
Torres had her lone match in August 2016 at a local Filipino MMA event, where she took a convincing unanimous decision triumph.
However, Torres is fully aware that having her hand raised against a well-rounded MMA competitor like Ishige will be a tough task.
Ishige is a certified eye candy that can grace on the cover of a top fashion magazine, sashay down the catwalk with the latest apparel, or endorse high-end beauty products in a television advertisement.
