First off, ONE FC 6 is this October, and it will be headlined by a lightweight 'Super Fight' between Shinya Aoki and Arnaud Lepont, along with the promotion's first three title fights. Today, the promotion announced that the card will not only be available on that $9.99 Online Stream like last event, but for people in the United States, the card will also be available live on PPV for $29.95.
Additionally, their last two events, ONE FC 4 and ONE FC 5 will be available on Video on Demand (VOD) and on regional sports networks in the United States.
Also big news on the card, various sources close to the situation have informed BloodyElbow.com that Ole Laursen, who is one of the biggest stars in the Asian region, is likely to be off the ONE FC 6 card. Verbal agreements were in place for a lightweight championship bout against Evolve MMA's Zorobabel Moreira, in what would've been one of the most highly anticipated bouts this year. Unfortunately, somewhere down the road they had issues as negotiations have fallen apart leading to Laursen not only off the title fight, but also likely to be off the entire fight card.
Laursen was also supposed to compete at ONE FC 5 in Manila last month, before more behind the scenes conflicts led to being pulled off the last minute. It's an unfortunate situation, but hopefully both parties can resolve these issues and we get to see this highly entertaining fighter back in the cage soon.
