MANILA -- Three unbeaten Filipino rising stars will return to action in a few days as ONE Championship returns to Lumpinee Boxing Stadium for ONE Friday Fights 102 on March 28.

Muay Thai fan favorite and already-contracted ONE Championship fighter Islay Erika Bomogao makes her return to Thailand when she faces Nerea Rubio in a 103-pound featured bout.

Joining her on the card are two finishing specialists in Marwin "Green Goblin" Quirante, who takes on Torepchi Dongak in a strawweight MMA bout, and Jean Claude "The Dynamite" Saclag, who meets Shazada Ataev in a flyweight MMA contest.

One of the most charismatic combat sports stars in the Philippines, Bomogao has endeared herself to fans abroad, particularly the Thai crowd at Lumpinee after showcasing her carefree “Pinoy style” Muay Thai.

Bomogao dazzled in her two matches so far, beating Ran Longshu and Fuu in convincing fashion to impress in the promotion.

Quirante and Saclag, meanwhile, are seeking US$100,000 contracts to ONE Championship, and another impressive victory for either fighter could get them there.

"Green Goblin" secured two first-round finishes in ONE Friday Fights — impressively beating Phan Thanh Tung and Muza Muzasade with his versatility to both strike with his opponents and submit them.

Saclag, a SEA Games kickboxing gold medalist from Team Lakay, has transitioned well to the all-encompassing sport of MMA. He secured two TKO wins over Lee Jun Young and Fajar as he looks to follow in the footsteps of Carlo Bumina-ang as a winner of the life-changing contract.
