STRIKER Jenelyn Olsim makes her ONE Championship debut on March 19, 2021 in ONE: “Fists of Fury III” against Brazilian knockout artist Maira Mazar at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore.

Olsim, who fights out of Tribal Torogi in Baguio City, went 1-1 in ONE Championship’s developmental league, ONE Warrior Series. Despite losing her last fight via a first round armbar against Caitlin McEwen in 2019, Olsim still earned a spot in the big league. Olsim’s other fight in the ONE Warrior Series is a unanimous decision over Claudia Diaz.

Expect Olsim’s fight with Mazar to be full of action because the latter is also known for her striking ability. Mazar is a Sanda champion and is an assistant instructor at Evolve MMA in Singapore. Mazar has fought twice in the ONE Championship and went 1-1. She made her ONE debut in 2020 and lost to Ayaka Miura via a second round American submission. But she bounced back with a ground-and-pound victory over Jung Yoon Choi later that year.

Olsim is 3-2, while Mazar is 7-3.

Also seeing action on the same card is Filipino-Indonesian Aziz Calim. Calim is taking on Indian Roshan Mainam.

Calim hopes to bounce back after losing to Ryuto Sawada via a first round rear-naked-choke submission in 2019.

Mainam, on the other hand, is on a hot streak after winning both of his fights in the ONE with submission wins over Khon Sichan and Peng Shuai Liu.

Calim is 6-5, while Mainam is 5-2.

The main event of “Fists of Fury III” features a ONE kickboxing lightweight championship bout between defending champion Regian Eersel (55-4) and challenger Mustapha Haida (54-11-3).

    Russia announced on Thursday it was ordering troops back to base from the area near the border with Ukraine, apparently calling an end to a buildup of tens of thousands of soldiers that had alarmed the West. The currencies of both Russia and Ukraine rose sharply after the announcement, signalling relief among investors just hours after Russia also ended war games in Crimea, the peninsula it occupied and annexed from Ukraine in 2014. There was no immediate response from Western countries, but a pullout of the troops brought in on top of the permanent contingent was likely to be welcomed by countries that had been expressing alarm at the prospect of further Russian intervention in eastern Ukraine.

  • Nigerian teen climate activists create fashion from waste

    Welcome to Lagos' "Trashion Show" where models strut down a catwalk wearing rubbish outfits - literally. Their clothes are made from discarded plastic bags.The event is run by teenage eco-warriors such as 15 year-old Esohe Ozigbo.''The Trashion Show means a lot to me, I have been doing it for years and it is like a way of showcasing to everyone what we can do with the trash we so carelessly discard, and I really think it is like us making a statement and showing that we care about the environment and you should too. We are just teenagers but we are trying to like make a change in the world."The environmental activists stage their shows in shopping malls, mixing fashion with advocacy in a bid to spread a green message.Plastic waste and litter is ubiquitous in Lagos, the commercial capital of Africa's most populous country, Nigeria.With more than 20 million people, the megacity generates 10,000 metric tons of waste every day. Ozigbo and her group participate in community clean-ups, recently wading through a mass of plastic pollution that blocked a waterway. They’re supported in their mission by Green Fingers Garden, a not-for-profit conservation group founded by Chinedu Mogbo.“...Together we went out, we picked up the plastics, we cleaned the environment. But rather than just taking everything maybe to a dumping site or so, we felt we get creative with it, so we decided to spruce things up and start the Trashion Show.''Ozigbo said she hopes the shows made shoppers think about their actions and cites Swedish teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg as her inspiration. 'We are the generation who are going to be like leading in a few years, and like the older people at the end of the day they will end up leaving this earth and we will be the ones left with it, so we need to start now because in a few years it is going to be too late to do anything.''
