ONE Fighting Championships' second event will happen in Jakarta, Indonesia. Their first event was streamed on Sherdog.com, but now it looks like they're changing it up a bit and will be taking a page off the UFC's playbook by properly utilizing their social media platforms.
According to Rolles Gracie, who is one of the competitors on the ONE FC card, the event will be streamed live and free on the promotion's Facebook page, with a delayed telecast available all over Asia on ESPN Star Sports.
ONE FC will be hosting a press-conference in Singapore on Tuesday and I expect this TV deal, along with the competitors for their March show, to be part of the laundry list of announcements that will be made.
Key bouts on the card in Indonesia include a lightweight bout between Felipe Enomoto and Ole Laursen, who has been named as the #8 ranked lightweight in the 2010 World MMA Scouting Report, and a featherweight bout between URCC Champ, Honorio Banario and Bae Young Kwon.

So that would be
3am PT/6am ET/noon CET, yes?
wonderfulspam - January 26, 2012
Yes, it's around that time.
unless it starts a bit later than that.
Anton Tabuena - January 26, 2012
I’m just going by the 7pm time listed on ONE FC’s website.
wonderfulspam - January 26, 2012
Yup.
I know. I’m guessing it will start a few minutes later than 7, so you guys don’t have to wake up that early.
Anton Tabuena - January 26, 2012
what time is that for you?
Our Bovine Public - January 26, 2012
CET, mutherfuker. Looking forward to casually getting out of bed, turning on my computer and seeing soccer kicks flying everywhere, then turning on my TV to watch Manchester United – Liverpool and seeing more of the same.

Dear North Carolina,
Please. I will suck eight million dicks if you get actual fucking internet access out where I live. I’m so tired of seeing these posts and going “AW SHUCKS, I GUESS I MIGHT WATCH A HIGHLIGHT OF ONE FIGHT IF IT’S REALLY GOOD AND SHORT AND MY 250 MB/DAY BANDWIDTH ISN’T TOO FAR GONE” when all I really want to say is OH FUCK YES I’M SO WATCHING BOBA SAPPU GET FUCKSTOMPED.
Please, North Carolina. Stop being such a fuckawful place.
Love,
PFP

Awesome, awesome stuff. Very glad to hear that I’ll still be able to watch One FC 2 here in Europe as I loved their first show on the whole.

Colt 45 trumps Xyience once again
menckenstein - January 26, 2012
Will there be a live thread?
I’m definitely tuning in.
Charles Awad - January 26, 2012
Yup.
Better gather up the BE Breakfast Crew…. :|
Anton Tabuena - January 26, 2012
Watching badass fights while ingesting "screwdrivers" and Kix
I’m down.
menckenstein - January 26, 2012
YESSSSS
Scrambled eggs with hot peppers! Haha
Charles Awad - January 26, 2012
that actually sounds like a nice meal.
I’ve tried Jalapenos with scrambled eggs, but now I’ll try it with Siling Labuyo. (IF I wake up for breakfast. I always wake up at 1pm recently, so that might not happen anytime soon) haha :)
Anton Tabuena - January 26, 2012
You sound like such an artist!
I only eat a greasy breakfast on weekends, but I do like putting hot peppers in my eggs. Mmmmm
Charles Awad - January 26, 2012
so down for this.
hope they end up on HDNet. love the rules set.

Good to know that these fights will be on Facebook. I am very curious to see how much OneFC can grow with all these deals that they are making.

I think they mean "Rolles Gracie's tweet"
Either way, they can try and throw BE under the bus over this, but I’m pretty sure that ESPN Star thing is a done deal.
Anton Tabuena - January 26, 2012
Hopefully it’s just a slight miscommunication, because you cover their events more than any other MMA commentator/blog/site combined at this point. Much appreciated too.
tigerlee - January 26, 2012
thats weird
Rolles twitter clearly says the event will be on facebook. If there’s inaccuracies its from Rolles not you
