The event takes place April 21 from the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines. It will stream live online via pay-per-view in North America.

Folayang (17-5) scoring one of the biggest upsets of 2016 when he knocked out long-time champion Shinya Aoki in November. He is 5-1 over his last six and has also held the URCC and Martial Combat titles.

Ting (13-3) has won four in a row, highlighted by a decision over UFC veteran Kamal Shalorus earlier this year.
