Joshua Pacio wants to put on a show at ONE 173

Among the superstars seeing action at ONE 173 is strawweight king Joshua Pacio, who vowed to put on a show on fight night while he goes for history and win another world title.

'The Passion' will challenge his flyweight counterpart Yuya Wakamatsu for the big event, one of seven world title fights on offer at ONE 173.

But apart from becoming a two-division MMA world champion, serving as added motivation for Pacio is the opportunity to inspire young Filipinos to develop a winning mindset in whatever they choose to do.

The Lions Nation MMA standout shared at the press conference for the event last month:

"I'm not just trying to be the two-division World Champion, I will become a two-division world champion this November 16 for the Filipino youths in my country. And I need to inspire them so that they will see that they can too, someday, be a champion in their own chosen profession."

Pacio enters ONE 173 off his successful unification of the strawweight belts in his last match in February, defeating American rival Jarred Brooks by TKO in the second round.
