ONE FC’s next event continues to build its lineup with the addition of three more fights.

Eduard Folayang (13-4) is set for the the co-main event against former ONE FC lightweight champion Kotetsu Boku (21-9-2); flyweights Rey Docyogen (10-2) and Josh Alvarez (12-6) will meet on the main card; and middleweight Leandro Ataides (6-0) will take on Tatsuya Mizuno (12-9). ONE FC officials recently announced the three matchups.

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.

Boku will look to stay on track after a first-round knockout win over Arnaud Lepont at ONE FC 14 in March. That win snapped a two-fight skid and pulled him back to even at 2-2 for the promotion. Folayang, who will fight in front of his home fans in the Philippines, recently snapped a two-fight losing streak, as well. He took a decision from Vincent Latoel at ONE FC 13 in December after back-to-back losses to Lowen Tynanes and Kamal Shalorus.

Docyogen also will be fighting in front of his home fans, and he’ll be looking to get back on track and get his first ONE FC win. In 2013, he was submitted by Shinichi Kojima at ONE FC 7 and dropped a split decision to Yasuhiro Urushitani at ONE FC 9. His bout against Alvarez will be his first in 11 months. Alvarez made his ONE FC debut in December, but was submitted by Koetsu Okzazaki in the second round at ONE FC 13. That loss snapped a five-fight winning streak for the Guam native, who has nine of his 12 career wins by submission.

Ataides will look to keep his unbeaten streak intact. The Brazilian scored a first-round knockout of Bryan Rafiq at ONE FC 12 this past November in his promotional debut. He has five of his six wins by stoppage. Mizuno, a DREAM and M-1 veteran, snapped a two-fight skid in Octover when he outpointed Rafael Silva at ONE FC 11. His resume includes wins over the likes of Melvin Manhoef, Ilir Latifi and Trevor Prangley, as well as fights against Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic, Gegard Mousasi, Sergei Kharitonov and Renato “Babalu” Sobral.
