Eduard Folayang (born November 22, 1984) is a Filipino mixed martial artist and wushu practitioner who fights in ONE Championship, where he is the current Lightweight Champion. He also competed for Universal Reality Combat Championship, wherein he was the last welterweight champion.
Folayang is a member of Team Lakay Wushu in Baguio City which is also home to URCC pinweight champion Rey Docyogen, URCC flyweight champion Kevin Belingon and URCC Lightweight champion Honorio Banario.
Prior to joining Team Lakay Wushu, Folayang was a high school teacher in Mountain Province. The Baguio native made his first Martial Combat debut on June 17, 2010, defeating Slovakian fighter Egon Racz via guillotine choke early in the first round.
Folayang has won several international Wushu tournaments, including a gold medal at the 2011 South East Asian Games which he won with a spinning back kick KO in the final, a silver medal in the 2006 Doha Asian Games, and bronze medals in both the 2005 World Wushu Championship and the 2002 Busan Asian Games.
Folayang was born in Baguio City on November 22, 1984. His parents are natives of Mountain Province, a province (aside from Baguio City, Benguet, Kalinga, Apayao, Ifugao, Abra) where the Igorots are situated and he is proud to be one.
Folayang started training wushu and boxing when he was 16 years old under the tutorship of head coach Tony Candelaria, who helped him to improve his skills and discipline.
On June 30, 2007, Folayang made his professional debut in the Universal Reality Combat Championship (URCC), the biggest mixed martial arts promotion in the Philippines. The Baguio native fought undefeated welterweight champion Allan Co and defeated him by TKO in round 1. With the win, Folayang became the new title holder.
After 5 wins, Folayang suffered his first defeat at the hands of Guam's Jon Tuck via knockout in just 8 seconds on November 21, 2009. This was his second bout in the Gorilla Warfare promotion.
