MANILA, Philippines — Filipino mixed martial arts veteran Eduard Folayang continued his losing streak in ONE Championship when he absorbed a unanimous decision loss to China's Zhang Lipeng in ONE: Battleground II in Singapore. A tape-delayed event broadcasted Friday, Folayang recorded his fourth loss in a row, and the sixth in his last seven fights. Lipeng caught Folayang in takedowns in the opening round, where the Filipino was stuck on the defensive, with Lipeng going to a ground-and-pound strategy. Folayang and Lipeng's bout was the main event in the second installment of the Battleground series of ONE Championship. The first two fights of the night did not go the distance as Rahul Raju submitted Otgonbaatar Nergui via rear naked choke in the second round.
