Ten months from his last outing, Northern Irish fan favorite Alan Philpott is adamant that he will make a lasting impression when he debuts under the ONE Championship banner at Thursday’s Warriors Series.
After being left on the sidelines during ACB’s hiatus in 2018, Philpott tried unsuccessfully to join the Bellator ranks. “The Apprentice” was also on the verge of getting a short notice call-up to face Kai Kara-France at UFC Adelaide before the promotion opted for Elias Garcia instead.
A recent invitation to tryout for ONE’s Warrior Series gave Philpott a new lease on life, but it wasn’t until he finished displaying his prowess on the pads that he felt he had found “his calling” with the Asian promotion.
