English kickboxer and UFC veteran James McSweeney (12-11) will makes his promotional debut against fellow heavyweight Chris Lokteff (12-1) at “ONE FC 15: Rise of Heroes.” Officials today announced that matchup and two others. ONE FC 15 takes place May 2 at SM Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines. The card streams via online pay-per-view in North America. McSweeney, a semifinalist on “The Ultimate Fighter 10″ who ultimately went 1-2 in the UFC, has won six of his past eight MMA fights, including a May 2013 TKO of former Strikeforce fighter Dion Staring. Most recently, the 33-year-old rebounded from a loss to Paul Buentello with a November submission victory over Stefan Traunmuller (8-2-1 at the time) in Slovenia. His opponent, Lokteff, is an Australian prospect who won his first eight pro bouts via knockout, seven in the first round
