Another match-up has been added to the ONE FC: Reign of Champions card which already looks to be the best in the promotion’s history with Dubai-based lightweights Vaughn Donayre and Mohammed Walid set to face off on August 23. Donayre is originally from the Philippines but now fights out of The Champion Club in Dubai whereas Walid hails from Syria but is based at the Kholoud Club which is run by his Father. Donayre (7-1) made his name fighting in the Philippines where he won six straight fights for the URCC to establish himself as the number two lightweight in the country behind only ONE FC title contender Eduard Folayang. Originally from the boxing heartland of Cebu he has a background in BJJ and has gone 1-1 since moving to Dubai, suffering a first career loss in his most recent fight when he dropped a unanimous decision to Australian veteran Gokhan Turkyilmaz. Defeat is something which Walid (3-0) has yet to experience. The Syrian fighter is the reigning Dubai FC welterweight champion and has finished every opponent he has faced since making his pro debut in 2012.
