On December 3 the Philippine capital Manila There will be a curious tournament between Filipino bantamweight Geje Esutaquio and Chinese bantamweight Yong Hu. The fighters are ready to determine the best in a head-to-head fight. The fight will take place at the tournament ONE on Prime Video 5 at 01:00 UK time.
Yong will fight aggressively in the clinch, often breaking through combinations and looking to knock out his opponent. Geje acts more cautiously, preferring to score points with his pressing and control to pick up wins by decision from the judges. With that in mind, I expect a slow fight that will last at least two rounds.
The 33-year-old Filipino, Geje Esutaqio, has been entering the octagon since 2011. His style is built on gradual scoring through active pressing. In August 2019, Esutaqio lost to Yuya “Litlle Piranha” Wakamatsu (by knockout) before picking up two straight victories. “Gravity” won fights against Toni “Dynamite” Tauru (by knockout) and Min Jung “Running Man” Song (by decision of the judges).
The 26-year-old Chinese Yong Hu has been in mixed martial arts since 2016. He has excellent striking technique. At ONE Championship: Winter Warriors, “Wolf Warrior” lost to Yuya “Litlle Piranha” Wakamatsu and broke his five-win winning streak. Yong defeated Yodkaikaew “Y2K” Fairtex (by unanimous decision), Zhen “Storm” Wang (by unanimous decision), Huyixibai “Jackal” Chuhayifu (by disqualification), Ketuogesi “The Weilate Warrior” Meng (by knockout) and Zhiyuan Yan (by unanimous decision).
