One FC: Vuyisile Colossa wants to fight Ole Laursen...and he plans on knocking him out

Colossa_medium

"Never leave it in the hands of the judges."

It's a saying that Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White has embraced and repeated openly and often.

ONE Fighting Championship (ONE FC) lightweight fighter Vuyisile Colossa shares White's philosophy. Anyone who watched his fight against Xing Yu Ma at ONE FC: "Champion vs. Champion" in Singapore on Sept. 3 knows that Colossa strives to finish his fights and finish them violently.

Colossa won his fight via TKO (punches) in a brief and brutal 49 seconds. If you missed it, you can check it out here.

On to the next one.

Star-divide

On Oct. 16, 2010, "The Cheetah" took on Filipino star Eduard Folayang at Martial Combat 12 in Singapore. The unanimous decision went to Foyalang, but some (including Colossa himself) felt that the judges scored the fight incorrectly.

The results of that fight have changed the way Colossa prepares for fights.

"I train to KO all my opponents now. I am scared the judges might pull another decision like the one from the fight against Eduard (Folayang). I should have won that fight in any style of scoring."

With the Folayang fight in his rearview mirror, as well as an impressive TKO victory at the ONE FC promotional debut, Colossa now has his eyes on Ole Laursen, one of the bigger names in the ONE FC organization.

Currently, there is no lightweight championship title holder for the promotion, nor has any title fight been scheduled. Colossa would like for that fight to take place and for it to feature himself and Laursen.

"Ole is a champion and I am a champion, but there can only be one ONE FC lightweight champion. He is the guy I want to take apart in the championship bout."

If Colossa doesn't get his preferred fight against Laursen, he's got other options that he's currently mulling around. Of those "options," Colossa mentioned the likes of Eddie Ng, Zorobabel Moreira, and even a possible rematch versus Folayang.

The proud South African wants to be the ONE FC lightweight champion and for a long time.

"I want the title so we can bring more exciting fights to ONE FC. I want to be the one who holds the belt and keeps it. I am not checking anyone out, but if anyone feels that they want the title themselves, they can step forward! Mr. Victor Cui (founder and owner of ONE FC) said that I have 10 fights on the show (for ONE FC). Hopefully that will come true."

That's a mammoth vein he's sporting in his head.

Liddell: 'I'll fight anyone, Silva? Yeah sure, Quinton Jackson? Sure, Randy Couture? Sure'

Reporter: 'What about Fedor Emelianenko?'

Liddell: 'Well if I'll have to...I'll fight him...if I have to'

Vuyisile talks a good fight but unlike some other trash talkers he also fights a good fight.

Don’t know whether it will be enough to get a fight with Laursen just yet though, I think One FC would probably want both fighters to beat a couple of opponents first.

I think he needs to focus on MMA if he wants to make a career out of it. I know Alistair Overeem does K-1 and MMA and doesn’t do too badly but he is getting much bigger paydays than Vuyisile and can get away with fighting less regularly.
