The Scene Around: ONE Championship Open Workout

10/06/2016 06:27:06 PM

Things are going well here at the mixed martial arts scene here in the country. Just when one thought the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) will stage their Fight Night Manila tour again here in barely a week time, the Asia's biggest mixed martial arts firm just had their open workout here at the Music Hall of the SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City.

Back to the Octagon!

Perhaps we have seen this before. Like more 16 months in the making. Do you remember when this guy was on the verge of having his contract expired that his championship reign was already been booked with a period on it?

Bigwas Pa?!

Draw ang resulta sa isang maingay na bigwasan na naganap kagai sa Valkyrie. 

Oo, draw ayon sa mga hurado. Unanimous draw nga eh, 19-all ang iskor sa labanang Baron Geisler at Kiko Matos. Kaya humihirit na lamang ang mga 'to ng isang beses pa na maglaban sila sa URCC cage.

Bigwasan Na!

Sa totoo lang, parang isang malaking sports entertainment ang nangyayari dito eh. Ang pinagkaiba, hindi ito sa isang wrestling promotion ginanap. At hindi naman sa minamaliit ko ang sport na yun ano (hoy, avid fan kaya ako ng professional wrestling, no?), pero alam mo naman ang nangyayari kapag pinapairal ang ideya ng machismo. 

Choking from the Upset Victories

Just a few months ago, we have witnessed a sudden turn of events inside the octagon. It was at the land down under when the woman of top was knocked down -- and off from her throne. And while we have witnessed the first downfall of the Golden State Warriors, we have seen an instant knock-out punch that suddenly changed the landscape for the UFC welterweight division.

Good Fight, Ugly Decision-Making?!

I saw the main event of UFC 195 last week. It’s been a very long while since the last time I have seen a very good fight at the MMA world.

Perhaps, a good fight; but with a ‘disgusting’ result. A split decision was awarded to Robbie Lawler; thus making his title defense successful once again despite his opponent Carlos Condit (the fourth contender for their division) dominating on majority of the fight.

Gone In 13 Seconds

What can you do in 13 seconds? Cross a street, take a bite of a munchkin, run a hundred meters? Drink a can of beer or energy drink? Watch a vine or an Instagram-length video? A lot, right? 

But how about knocking down your opponent much faster than Ronda Rousey?

Yeah, like how far did that go from this...

Hyped For Fight

I’ve seen the clips of pre-fight confrontations a lot of times. Perhaps, Jose Aldo vs. Connor McGregor was considered almost one full-year in the making. The so-called biggest fight of the year was supposedly schedule July 10. But due to Aldo’s injury, the plan was shelved, at least. 

Five months later, it’s happening for real. And what makes this fight more interesting is the hype that’s more realistic than anyone who fought at the UFC. And hey, WWE creative peeps, this may not be the wrestling type you guys are handling, but this is how you establish a feud and hype them accordingly! 

Shocking Upset

Did anyone see it coming? Unless you are rooting for the underdog, yes.

The Pre-catfight Square-Off

11/15/2015 10:51:56 AM

Seems this world’s getting chaotic little by little. Explosions, attacks, and even altercations trigger a worldwide pandemonium. Well, we could only hope for justice to prey down the culprits in the recent suicide bombings in Paris, as well as the other mishaps around the world such as the recent earthquake that rocked Japan.

Also, prayers for the untimely lost souls and damaged by these sets of catastrophes. Nobody wants to hear or witness such happenings.

However, in the world where everything is a cockpit-like warfare called sports, the main catfight seems interesting.

Knocked Down In 16 Seconds

I rarely watch any matches from the Ultimate Fighting Championship; and in case I managed to really catch up, I ended up seeing this lady named Ronda Rousey.

Wow, this chick’s not just your ordinary fighter, aye? She’s been jeered like a wrestling; heel and the next time around, praised like a real champ. Prior to battling Alexis Davis on UFC 175, Rousey had dominated almost all of her MMA fights by submission – with 7 of her 8 armbar victories came on the first round alone.

Now that’s a toughass chick right there.
