By The Numbers: Marcus Almeida vs. Hugo Cunha

One Championship could not have stacked the deck any higher against Hugo Cunha.

The once-beaten Brazilian will toe the line against the heralded Marcus Almeida in a One Championship 157 heavyweight feature on Friday at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore. Cunha enters his second assignment for the promotion with a 6-1 record. However, he finds himself on the rebound following a split decision loss to Dustin Joynson at One Championship “Bad Blood” on Feb. 11. Almeida, meanwhile, has touched off his mixed martial arts career with back-to-back victories. He last fought at One Championship “Winter Warriors,” where he submitted Ji Won Kang with a rear-naked choke 2:27 into the first round of their Dec. 3 pairing.
