One FC's has added star power to their next event, inking fights that include former UFC champions Andrei Arlovski and Jens Pulver, respectively.
Arlovski will face Australian Soa Palelei, while Pulver is set to scrap with Eric Kelly.

Palelei announced his fight on Twitter.

The onetime UFC veteran has mostly fought in his home country over the last few years, amassing a seven-fight win streak since his last defeat. Palelei (17-3) has been defeated only a single time since his sole UFC bout, which came in 2007 when he lost to Eddie Sanchez. Since then, he's 9-1 with his only defeat coming at the hands of current Strikeforce champion Daniel Cormier.

Arlovski (17-9) has won two straight, with back-to-back knockouts over Travis Fulton and Ray Lopez respectively, while fighting for the ProElite promotion.

Multiple outlets have reported the Pulver-Kelly scrap, which the promotion has yet to officially confirm.

"Lil Evil" has alternated wins and losses in his last five bouts, most recently defeating Jesse Thorton in April to improve his record to 26-16-1.

His opponent Kelly is a perfect 7-0 so far in his career, with six of his wins coming by submission.

One FC's fifth event, entitled "Pride of a Nation" takes place on August 31 in Manila, Philippines.
DREAM champions Shinya Aoki and Bibiano Fernandes have already been announced on the card as well.

Bibiano Fernandes to Make ONE FC Debut Against Gustavo Falciroli

Former DREAM champion Bibiano Fernandes will make his ONE FC debut against CFC bantamweight champion Gustavo Falciroli at ONE FC: Pride of a Nation, sources told MMAFighting.com on Tuesday.

ONE FC: Pride of a Nation takes place Aug. 31st, 2012, in Manila, Philippines, at the same arena as Muhammad Ali's legendary ‘Thrilla in Manila.'

Fernandes (11-3), the DREAM 2009 featherweight grand prix champion and DREAM 2011 bantamweight grand prix champion, made headlines in early June when he spurned a UFC contract to ink a more lucrative deal with ONE FC, after Zuffa prematurely announced the signing and booked "The Flash" to fight Roland Delorme at UFC 149. Fernandes later clarified the mix-up by saying he never advanced past preliminary negotiations with UFC officials.

The 32-year-old Brazilian has won 10 of his last 11 bouts, including a recent three-fight win streak punctuated by a dominant, title-winning victory over WEC veteran Antonio Banuelos.

He'll now meet Falciroli (12-3-2), a winner of four of his last five, including a 72-second submission victory over Soo Chul Kim last February at ONE FC 2: Battle of Heroes.

"Rolles, Igor and Gregor Gracie have never trained so hard for a fight in their lives," Renzo Gracie stated in a press release issued by the promotion. "All three of my students understand that ONE FC in Manila will be the largest MMA event in the history of the Philippines. They are embracing this experience whole-heartedly and are training exceptionally hard to achieve victory in front of 16,500 fans.

Fourth Andrei Arlovski vs. Tim Sylvia Bout Set for August ONE FC Event

According to a Tweet from ONE FC, former UFC heavyweight champions Tim Sylva and Andrei Arlovski will fight at ONE FC: Pride of a Nation on Aug. 31 in Manila, Philippines. This bout marks the fourth meeting between the two fighters.

Arlovski was originally scheduled to face Soa Palelei at the late August show, but according to Palelei on his Twitter account, the fight fell through when he declined to sign a five-fight contract with the East Asian promotion.

Sylvia, 36, had recently campaigned for a return to the UFC and was tapped to face Daniel Cormier in the Strikeforce grand prix's final Strikeforce bout, but that plan was ultimately nixed by Zuffa executives. Sylvia is 7-3 in his MMA career since leaving the UFC.

Arlovski, 33, is riding a two-fight win streak since being bounced from Strikeforce. He is 4-4 since leaving the UFC.

The two former champions faced each other three times previously under the UFC banner: UFC 51, UFC 59 and UFC 61. Sylvia lost the first bout by submission and won the subsequent two meetings, first by TKO and ultimately by decision in their most-recent fight.

Niet slecht, behoorlijk goed zelfs!

Hoewel Arlovski-Sylvia een veteranenstrijd is met mensen die al ver na hun beste tijd zitten is het wel kassa.
Starpower, grote namen, zo vestig je de aandacht op je en trek je mensen, als er een paar spectaculaire partijen zijn dat wordt dit wel wat!

ja de ONE FC is heel goed bezig!

ik hoop in ieder geval een schim te zien van de 3 partijen die Arlovski en Sylvia eerder tegen elkaar hebben geknokt. laatste dateert alweer 2006... dan te bedenken dat ik de eerste in '03 ook al sort of live volgde...

ONE FC: Pride of a Nation Weigh-In Results

Tim Sylvia and Andrei Arlovski may not officially be the main event participants for Friday night's ONE FC: Pride of a Nation in The Philippines, but they're doing a good job of stealing the spotlight. The two have built a growing enmity for years, starting with their rivalry in the UFC and moving on to a more personal issue between them.

The two have already fought three times in the past, with Arlovski winning the first via Achilles lock submission in just 47 seconds. Sylvia evened the score with a first-round KO one year later, and then seemingly won the rubber match wit a decision win in July 2006, but now the feud starts all over again.

As usual, Sylvia will take a size advantage into the bout, weighing in at 266, 20 pounds heavier than his rival.

While that main card fight has gotten plenty of attention, it's actually Bibiano Fernandes being featured in the main event. The world-ranked bantamweight weighed in at 136 pounds, the same number as his opponent Gustavo Falciroli.

Meanwhile, Jens Pulver checked in at 146 for his bout with undefeated Eric Kelly (146). The event takes place on Friday at Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, Philippines.

Full weigh-in results are below.
