Joshua Pacio goes for ONE flyweight world title at ONE 173
ONE strawweight world champion Joshua Pacio of Lions Nation MMA will attempt to become the first two-division champion in Philippine mixed martial arts history when he takes on ONE flyweight world champion Yuya Wakamatsu at ONE 173 on November 16 at Ariaka Arena in Tokyo. Pacio, 29, is coming off his biggest win to date following a second-round technical knockout over ex-UFC fighter and former world champion Jarred Brooks last February. Already touted by some as the Philippine MMA Greatest of All Time, Pacio previously expressed interest in campaigning a higher weight class. Yuya Wakamatsu, meanwhile, is on a four-fight winning streak including a win in a rematch over Pacio's teammate Danny Kingad, whom he lost to in the first fight in 2018. His streak also includes a round one stoppage over former world champion Adriano Moraes, whom he also lost to in 2022. Denice Zamboanga will defend her women's ONE atomweight world title on the same card against Ayaka Miura. —JKC, GMA Integrated News

What did Alex Eala improve ahead of historic run this year?
Filipina tennis ace Alex Eala has been on an historic run this year as she had some impressive campaigns and even some prominent debuts in Grand Slam tournaments. In the Miami Open last March, Eala reached the semifinals, dispatching several Grand Slam champions in Madison Keys, Jelena Ostapenko, and Iga Swiatek, on her way there. Meanwhile, in the Eastbourne Open last June, she made her first-ever finals appearance in a WTA tournament. She also made her main draw debuts in Grand Slam tournaments Roland Garros and Wimbledon, and is set to enter the US Open as well. But what did Eala improve on to achieve better results this year? "I think I've been working on a lot of aspects of my game individually and this year, talagang nag-click. For one example, was my fitness. Mas fit ako ngayon, mas tumatagal ako sa court and I'm able to maintain the level for a longer period of time that's why sometimes I can hang with these top players," she said in a Globe meet and greet event last Friday. "And the movement, also part of that, my forehand [serve]. So, everything, little adjustments in everything and this year, medyo nag-click." ? What part of her game did Alex Eala improve on during the last year? @gmasportsph @gmanews — JK Carandang (@jk_carandang) July 18, 2025 Eala also said she learned a lot for herself this year as she went against higher-ranked players. "I learned my takes, I learned what keeps me going, I learned how to manage my nerves, and I learned to be brave and channel the boss, like try to be the boss of me," she said. ? Alex Eala shares the lessons she learned from playing against higher ranked players @gmasportsph @gmanews — JK Carandang (@jk_carandang) July 18, 2025 With her spectacular campaigns this year, Eala reached her career-high ranking of no. 56 last June 30.

Barrios fight ‘mission accomplished' for Manny Pacquiao despite draw, says analyst
Though the fight between Manny Pacquiao and WBC world welterweight champion Mario Barrios ended in a majority draw, it's still mission accomplished for the Filipino boxing legend, according to veteran boxing analyst Atty. Ed Tolentino. Pacquiao, 46, showed flashes of his younger self against Barrios, showcasing his trademark speed and combinations. Despite his efforts, however, Barrios retained the belt when two of the judges scored the fight 114-114 after twelve rounds of action. The third judge had it 115-113 for Barrios. "I had it 115-113 on my scorecard. Manny Pacquiao should have won this fight. That is what I think, and so do many experts and fans. I thought Barrios respected too much and was hesitant because he was getting hit," Tolentino said in an episode of Sparring Sessions LIVE. "Pacquiao was impressive for a 46-year-old. For a 46-year-old to go twelve hard rounds with a fighter who is only 30 years old, to me, it is already mission accomplished. It hurts to think that he did not get the decision. I do not understand what the judges saw or it did not see in this fight." Tolentino added that the fight was close and, in reality, could have gone either way. Yet for Tolentino, if someone deserved the nod, it had to be Pacquiao for pressing the action throughout the contest. "It was Manny Pacquiao who really wanted to win the fight not Mario Barrios. I thought even though Pacquiao was handicapped at 46 and 4 years of inactivity, he was there to compete and ready to bring the fight to Mario Barrios," Tolentino stated. —JMB, GMA Integrated News
