Eric Kelly Is He Next For The UFC?

Eric "The Natural" Kelly Another Bright Philippine Prospect

We have it on good authority that during the run-up to UFC Macao, Eric Kelly was also in Macao and he was training three times a day at a top BJJ gym and occasionally getting to roll with with UFC fighters. All this preparation is I am sure going to serve "The Natural" well as he continues on the trail that he hopes will lead him to the UFC, much like fellow Philippine warrior Jon Tuck who made is UFC debut this past week.

Of course Kelly's next step is back at the URCC where it all began for him, as he will tackle Brad Terry as the URCC celebrate ten years and cement their status as Asia's oldest MMA organisation.
December 1st, Mall of Asia Arena, Manila.

Also with Kelly in Macao was Jazor "Razor" Ablasi another Philippine prospect.

We hear that any day now Eric will be heading to Beijing to train with Vince Sabrano at Black Tiger Fight Club.

This looks very much like Eric Kelly is in serious training and we are very pleased to hear that news.

We have always considered The Natural to be one of the most exciting prospects in Asia and this looks like the beginning of a new exciting chapter in his story.

JAZOR “THE RAZOR” ABLASI’S SPARTY

 What is a Sparty?

AFTER A TRIUMPHANT FIGHT during the Pacific Xtreme Combat (PXC), Jazor “The Razor” Ablasi wished to share his success with his sponsors and friends. Supported by his enthusiasts at the Shape Right Gym, a gym that he owns, SPARTY was born. SPARTY came from the words sparring and party. It was primarily conceptualized to expose amateur mixed martial arts fighters while the viewers are having fun.

The first SPARTY held last September 10, 2011 at Shape Right Gym, 2^nd Floor, Caoili Bldg., Pine Valley Plaza, La Trinidad, Benguet was surprisingly successful. It has fascinated more than a hundred guests and participants and was able to captivate the interest of the MMA community here in the North. There were 22 fighters with six coaches from different universities and gym clubs from La Union, Baguio, Benguet, and Mt. Province. It was graced by international fighters.  The said event was also reinforced by the  La Trinidad Emergency Medical Service and Fire Department. As a consequence, we are compelled to hold another “SPARTY” in order to respond to the high demand of the different Universities and Gym Clubs. Hence, the Adivay Colt 45 SPARTY 2.

In time for the Province’s Adivay Festival, it was held on the 12^th of November, 2011. Fortunate as we were, we were able to tap Colt 45 Premium Beer as our major sponsor followed by the support of the Province of Benguet and the Municipal government of La Trinidad, Valley Bread, Masferre Pasalubong Center, PSEC, Log Cabin Sagada, Armiro and Bradley Gulian, Ibbayan Spa, Swiss Natural, SEM-R, M.L. Carantes, Health 100, NIIT and Kalei’s Grill and Restaurant. It was more successful than expected. There were seven (7) bouts.

Josapat Navarro dominated the night, being the champ for the main event. He won by split decision over Biondi Dayangadang in an extended round. Promising potential future MMA fighter Nicolo Espadero gained his honors via technical knockout against Jade Basingao during the second round. Denver Dingcawat thrashed Ronel Gabriel  through a unanimous decision. Last bout on the main card, Jonathan Christopher Corton, who obtained the fight of the night, defeated Mark Dictaan through a unanimous decision.

On the undercard, Felixander Bagayao succeeded by unanimous decision against Dumar Suguipil while Rex Castro was victorious over Daryll Fagayan by referee stoppage. On the opening bout, Jack Suldayan won against Prenslee Belino due to an injury declared by the ring physician, Dr. Lee Buasen.

Assisted by their advisers, MMA aficionado Dr. Dave L. Taclobao, Dr. Lee Buasen, Arch. Leeman B. Cosalan, the organizers headed by SPARTY Founder and Chairman Jazor “The Razor” Ablasi are so humbled and overwhelmed by the unexpected success of the event considering that this is their first time to hold such big event. “The Inception SPARTY 1” was only held at Shape Right Gym.

In the meantime, while SPARTY III is being organized, Ablasi is bound to start another rigid training in preparation for his upcoming fight at the One Fighting Championship (One FC).
