Wushu World Champion Rene Catalan Enlists Help of Malaysian AJ Pyro


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Asian Games gold winner and Wushu world champion Rene Catalan has arguably one of the most impressive track records among all Filipino fighters.

Even though his mixed martial arts career has not gotten off to as smooth a start, he always put up a spirited performance. He may have fell to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Alex Silva and then had a controversial loss that was eventually reversed into a no contest against Khim Dima, he continues to rise up to prove his might.

On December 5, 2014 he now gets a chance to right the ship in Manila, as he finally gets to compete in his home country for the first time when he takes on Dejdamrong Sor Amnuaysirichoke at ONE FC: WARRIOR’S WAY- the much awaited MMA big fight to be held at SM MOA Arena in Pasay City.

Enlisting the help of ONE FC Malaysian Featherweight Champion AJ Pyro, highly publicized last year as one of the first foreigners who went to Tacloban to help the victims, Rene Catalan aims to do great against his opponent.

Coach AJ Pyro, fresh from winning a ONE FC tilt in Kuala Lumpur, pledged his earnings to Yolanda’s victims. He arranged a visit in Tacloban, along with a team of 25 doctors, thru ONE FC.




"The will to win is important but the will to prepare is vital. Rene is very serious about his December 5 fight. He did contact me a long time ago about his intention to do a serious full training camp here in Kota Kinabalu, Borneo. Once his December 5 fight was confirmed, he flew to KK right away for his training camp.” says Coach AJ.

While in Borneo, Catalan also trained alongside Anne Osman and the rest of the Borneo Tribal Squad team.

“He really wants to win this fight not only for himself, but he really wants to dedicate this win for the Filipino people,” he adds.

Rene Catalan triumphed in the Wushu World Championships on multiple occasions and also won gold at the 2006 Asian Games. Having proven to be one of the best in the sport of Wushu, Catalan is now determined to do the same in mixed martial arts.

Catalan is now back in the Philippines poised to make a run in ONE FC. He first has to face Dejdamrong Sor Amnuaysirichoke, who looked impressive in his three ONE FC outings thus far. Muay Thai World Champion Amanuaysirichoke has finished all of his opponents with relative ease and put on exciting performances to boot. This is a battle of two of the most renowned striking styles in the martial arts realm and fans will be in for a pugilistic treat.

Coach AJ concludes the interview by saying, “Rene is ready to battle his opponent and stand up even on the ground…Rene will win!”
