A downer of a news for me Today - OneFC announced that Eduard Folayang will not fight Zorobabel Moreira for the lightweight title on October 6. Instead, Zoro will face Shooto Champion Kotetsu Boku.
Here's ONE FC's announcements via their facebook page:
"ONE Fighting Championship 9 hours ago
BREAKING NEWS: BJJ World Champion Zorobabel Moreira (7-1) will face Shooto Champion Kotetsu Boku (18-6) for the lightweight world championship title at ONE Fighting Championship: Rise of Kings on October 6 in Singapore."
and here's their response when fans asked what happened to the previously announced Folayang title shot:
"ONE Fighting Championship Eduard Folayang earned a title shot after he defeated Felipe Enomoto. However, due to contractual obligations to URCC's 10 Anniversary Show, Eduard could not compete on October 6. Eduard is next in line for a title shot and will face the winner between Zoro and Kotetsu."
As of time of writing, there's no word yet on whether the other title fight announced in Manila last August 31, the Eric Kelly versus Honorio Banario title fight is still on or not.
