Gravity Joins the Flyweight Fray: One Championship’s Next Big Slam
Meet “Gravity” – the Baguio‑born Brawler with a Dream
Geje “Gravity” Eustaquio’s climb to the top of ONE Championship’s Flyweight division is a tale of grit, family, and a little bit of destiny. The 29‑year‑old, who’s been Team Lakay’s cornerstone for years, now holds the interim Flyweight World Title and is gearing up to make it undisputed when he squares off with World Champion Adriano Moraes on Saturday, 23 June, in Macau.
Was It Always All About Punches?
- Gravity’s father left home for work in South Korea when he was nine, which pushed the young Baguio boy into an early age of “grow‑up‑fast” style living.
- While his dad had to bank 10 years of separation, the rookie saw martial arts as his ticket out of a tougher reality.
- Excelling on the Philippine National Wushu Team and local street‑punch‑up events brought him the cash he needed to stay close to home.
His father was the right‑hand man, the “house‑hold hero,” and Gratn’s mentor in life and in the ring. When the lineage shifted back home, the veteran fighter found the reunion as a fresh ounce of motivation.
One Shot, One Belt, One Family Bond
Gravity’s approach to life is simple: keep the family beside you, even if the scoreboard says otherwise. He emphasizes that letting his son go on foreign fight‑trips without him is a “no‑can” rule.
In his own words: “If I run overseas for a long time, I’ll keep my kid with me. A father’s touch is essential—no other bond can top it. I’ll always flaunt humility, view failure as a launchpad for success.”
Undercut or Overgive? The Final Pay‑off
The showdown against Moraes isn’t just another bout; it’s the rematch of the first ever Flyweight Championship clash in ONE, where the grappler had the upper hand. Now, four years later, Gravity carries the confidence he was born to conquer mountains—literal and figurative.
His dad, sitting cageside, is laughing in corner booths, ready to cheer the biggest fight in his son’s career. The plan? Force Moraes into a fight that forces him to look R&S style to win.
Takeaway: Be Real, Be Bold, Be Family‑First
Gravity’s journey serves as a reminder that behind every slick punch lies the story of a strong family bond, early life sacrifice, and an unbreakable break‑through spirit. Pop the ring, keep the spirit high, and remember—sport—and life—is a game where humble starts triumph over big finals.
