"The Ghost" Chen Rui will be banking on his experience wheen he tangles with debuting Jeremy "The Juggernaut" Pacatiw at ONE: Battleground on Friday in Singapore.
Chen understands the hype surrounding Pacatiw, given that this will be the Filipino's promotional debut. "After I lost my last fight, I felt like I needed to start over to get more victories as much as I can," he said, looking back to his knockout loss to Kwon Won Il at ONE: Unbreakable 2 last January.It also made Chen re-assess his pre-fight preparations.
"I believe that I need to win as many matches as I can, at least a three-fight win streak to get into the ranking list. I want to secure victory this time to get into ONE Championship Athletes Ranking. The two fighters I lost to, Troy Worthen and Kwon Won Il, they both got pretty good spots on the ranking list, so I think if I can get my way back to winning fights, I also deserve a good ranking spot, too.
