URCC 21 – Warpath Fight Card and Preview Oh and a PODCAST!

Published on April 24, 2012 by The Editor in PODCAST, URCC

This weekend in Manila URCC put on their 21st show Warpath

At the SMX Convention Center, Pasay, Manila, Philippines (It’s near the Mall of Asia!)

And on this podcast we discuss the fights and the top quality match up’s.

We discuss the future plans of the URCC including a planned event in Dubai in October this year, with an American event set to follow.

We discuss which fighters in the URCC today could possibly make it to the UFC.

And finally I bring up the Eric Kelly question which Alvin kindly answers.

As well as being one of the longest established MMA organisations in the Asian Pacific area they also have a reputation for putting on tough fights and finding very talented (tough) fighters.  The Filipino’s love to scrap and even more so in front of an adoring audience.

Let’s have a Preview of the Fight Card shall we.

Dennis “The Dynamite” Salazar (2-2-1) Vs Adam “Kim” Cacay (2-1-0)

Salazars career at URCC did not start too well, one draw and two loses was not going to get him far. His losses were both TKO’s one due to punches the other a doctors stoppage. But, that was 2007! After that he set about improving his game and he came back in 2009 with a first round submission win. Then another two years passed and he picked up another win via submission against Philip Delarmino, his only loss to date. And a few months later Salazar is ready to finally have a positive rating but to make it 3-2-1 he has to beat……

Cacay lost his first URCC fight in early 2009 but made up for that with two win’s in 2011. This fight promises to start the evening events off with a bang, this will be a tough close fight.

Charles “El Tigre” de Tomas (3-2-0) Vs Isaac Tuling (3-2-0)

Well on paper these two are well matched with identical records and factually I think that is the case, neither of them has a recent run of wins or losses. So look out for a real close battle.

Mark Dialogo (1-1-0) Vs Fred Lim (no record)

Two up and coming fighters sadly i don’t have much information on them.

Mario Sismundo (1-0-0) Vs Michael Dan Rubio (1-2-0) 

Both of these fighters are looking to start to build a reputation in URCC. So, expect to see a lot of action as both these fighters try to prove they are worthy.

Junathan Sumogat (2-0-0) Vs Mark Joseph “MJ” Abrillo (0-1-0) 

Sumogat has a solid 2-0 start to his URCC career and will be looking to take that to a 3 in a row and although

Abrillo started his URCC career with a loss back on November 2010, however it was to George Lusadan who went 4-0 on that day!  But Abrillo’s amateur career was 4-1 and you have to imagine the year and a half lay off has given him time to really prepare for his comeback. Get ready for fireworks!

Mark “Mugen” Striegl (9-0-0) Vs Alcer Lozada (1-1-0) 

I’ll bet when Lozada was training for Andrew Benibe (4-2-0) he thought he had a tough enough task on his hands, when Benibe had to pull out due to a cut above his eye, he must have thought he might get an easier ride. But, this is the URCC there are no easy fights. He  has to fight (Team Buffets) Striegl who is a rock solid 9-0. If Lozada pulls this one off his stock will rise massively.

Will “The Kill” Chope (9-5-0) Vs Angelito “The Saint” Manguray (4-1-0)  

Chope is the other half of Team Buffet and has turned his record a round from a miserable 1-4 to a storming 9-5. This should tell former URCC Lightweight Champion

Manguray all he needs to know, however apart from a submission loss last time out to Honorio Banario , his record is just one knockout after another. Chope will be trying to get him down and Manguray will be doing his best to keep it standing up, should be an interesting battle.

Jerson Estoro (4-2-0) Vs Reysaldo “Onyok” Transmonte (2-1-0)

Estoro has had an up and down career so far at URCC and indeed his last fight was a loss to Will Chope who is also on this card, however he is well matched up with
Transmonte so this should still offer lots of action.

Roy Doliguez (1-0-0) Vs Alvin “Sindikato” Ramirez (4-4-0) 

Doliguez with a debut win last year will be looking to make a name for himself but first he has to beat

Ramirez which will be no easy task and Ramirez has much more experience.

Main Event

Froilan Sarenas (3-0-0) Vs Nicholas “The Apprentice” Mann (3-1-0)

Sarenas is the reighing URCC Middleweight Champion and he doesn’t like to go too depp into any fight, all three wins have come in a total time of less than 10 minutes but

Mann has won his last three fights in not much more time – So this bout promises to be explosive and will be a fitting finish to an exciting nights fighting.
