ONE Warrior Series PH to showcase coaching rivalry between Pacio and Eustaquio

Team Lakay head coach Mark Sangiao vows that fans are in for a treat as they are set to witness a coaching rivalry between ONE strawweight world champion Joshua Pacio and former ONE flyweight world champion Geje Eustaquio on ONE Warrior Series Philippines.

ONE Warrior Series is a reality TV show on GTV that premieres this Sunday, September 18 at 9:35 p.m. The series is about 16 aspiring mixed martial artists who traveled to Baguio City to train at the renowned Team Lakay gym where they are coached by Sangiao, Pacio, and Eustaquio.

“They (Pacio and Eustaquio) had to strategize when someone is losing and what they can do to help their athletes. You would see their drive to win [the show] but at the same time see how composed they are in winning and losing,” Sangiao told GMA News Online.

According to the renowned mixed martial arts coach, ONE Warrior Series Philippines is more than just fights. Sangiao promised that the upcoming reality TV show is relatable to sports fans and non-sports fans alike, and guarantees valuable lessons are in store for those who would tune in.

“This is a must-watch because there is a lot to learn here,” Sangiao stressed.

“For athletes, they would see how MMA athletes would train to represent the Philippines on the international stage and what they go through. For those who are not athletes, they would see the character and ways of a person trying to achieve their goals in life and career.”
