ONE Championship CEO torn between Eustaquio and Moraes

MACAU — ONE Championship CEO Victor Cui is having a hard time predicting a winner between interim flyweight champion Geje Eustaquio and reigning flyweight champion Adriano Moraes ahead of their unification bout in the main event of 'ONE: Pinnacle of Power' on June 23 at Studio City in Macau.

Reaching out to his family to gather their thoughts only makes it harder according to Cui, revealing that the showdown between the two champions has divided members of his family when it comes to making a pick.

"I have to let you understand how deeply entrenched in my house and personal life ONE Championship athletes are," Cui quipped.

"My mother who is 74 years old can literally list every top ten fighters in every weight class we have. My household is very divided on this matchup; my father is a supporter of Geje and my mother loves Adriano."

Team Lakay's Eustaquio and Moraes first met inside the cage in 2014 when the latter defeated the Filipino by submission to capture the then inaugural ONE flyweight title.

The two combatants are set to meet again four years later, but a different narrative is on the horizon as Eustaquio proved to be a much better fighter now compared to their first encounter.

"I think this is a great fight for fans, a lot of people have been hitting me up on social media. People have been waiting for this to happen ever since Geje won the interim flyweight title," told Cui.

"It's one of those things a lot of people are talking about. Who do I think is going to come out ahead? That's a tough call for me. I like both these guys, I'm just excited that we're bringing a match that the fans are really going to like." — LA, GMA News
