URCC Bacolod Brawl 4

URCC Bacolod Brawl 4 is just hours away

L’Fisher Hotel at La Proa Ballroom at 8:00pm on October 19^th.

It’s going to be an exciting event from Asia’s longest running MMA organization.

Alvin Aguilar and his team know the MMA business inside and out and they know how to put on a show and also how to put on great match up’s (thanks to match maker extraordinaire Will Carlos).

The full fight card can be found here:

The big fights at Bacolod Brawl are Will Chope (12-5)  vs Rex de Lara  (2-1)

 and 

Main Event: Dennis Salazar vs Alvin Ramirez.

Chope is a fighter pure and simple, he has spent the time before this event fighting in China, not MMA, but that’s Chopes way, he just likes to fight and travel. He is not one of those fighters who pick the easy fights. He really loves fighting in the Philippines, he used to live in Baguio and train with fellow Team Buffet member Mark Striegl. He knows he is always the ‘away team’ fighter who the crowd would be against but he often wins them over with his easygoing style. He of course is very keen to get a title shot at the URCC and every fight, every win get’s him closer at present in his four URCC fights he has won them all and not been outside of the first round. His recent training has been at the very well respected Phuket Top Team in Thailand.

His opponent de Lara has a 9inch height deficit and will have a tough job with 6’4” Chopes crazy lanky style of fighting.

De Lara also has a very big experience deficit having had just three fights in his career in 2 years; Chope has probably had that many this month!

Dennis Salazar (2-2-1) had a pretty shaky start to his MMA career with one draw and two loses being the sum total of his first three fights. Since then he has managed to win his last two fights, including beating Philip Delarmino who at the time was 3-0 and that was surely a shock win as Delarmino is a knock out expert.

Alvin Ramirez (4-5) has had a checkered career and he needs to put together some solid wins to build his name.

This fight could be a real battle.

 The Bacolod Brawl is not one of URCC’s main events, it's more a provincial show but still with the same URCC level of excitement. This is a taster, a starter for the BIG SHOW: 

URCC 22 – Dekada celebrating URCC’s tenth anniversary in some style with some big names expected to be fighting including two of the biggest in Philippine MMA. Eduard Folayang and Eric Kelly. But that’s for another day (December 1^st in fact).
