BETS 3, uupak sa CF-Manila Bay
BAKBAKAN na naman. Balik-aksiyon ang mga premyadong Pinoy mixed martial arts fighter sa pagsikad ng Battle Extreme Tournament of Superstars (BETS) 3 ngayon sa Casino Filipino-Manila Bay sa Luneta Park.
Magtutuos sa main event sa nakatakdang 10-fight match para sa bakanteng bantamweight championship ng Universal Reality Combat Championship (URCC) sina Rex ‘The T-Rex’ de Lara at Drex ‘D Rex’ Zamboanga.
“Everything is set. The best local fighters are here and we expect no less than pure action. And this happens because of the support of Pagcor and several sponsors who believe in our local fighters,” pahayag ni URCC president Alvin Aguilar sa isinagawang media conference matapos ang weigh-in ng mga gladiators.
Dalawang co-main event ang aabangan din tampok ang duwelo nina John Adajar ng Hitman MMA at Korean Lee Min Hyeok ng Crazy Gwang Gym para sa welterweight division, gayundin ang labanan nina Southeast Asia Fighting Championship (SAFC) titlist Roel Rio ng ya-Yan Fervilleon Black at Korean Moon Seung Gyu ng Korea One sa featherweight division.
‘The first two staging of CF BETS, which both lured huge crowds of MMA enthusiasts to our casinos, must be followed up with an explosive fight bill to provide casino patrons and guests another action-packed entertainment that they will truly enjoy. There’s no better way to do it than to hold a URCC championship event. CF BETS 3 promises to be another epic fight event,” pahayag ni Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (Pagcor) Assistant VP for Entertainment Jimmy Bondoc.
Mabibili ang tiket sa takilya ng venue, ngunit, ayon kay Aguilar kailangan nilang magdagdag ng karagdagang tiket matapos ma-sold out ang unang batch nang tiket.
Inaasahan din ang maaksiyong duwelo sa pagitan nina Joseph Alulod (Wolves Lair MMA) at Arvin Chan (The Den MNL), Oyo Cruz (Hitman MMA) vs Pepito Masangkay Jr. (The Den MNL), Ar-Jay Bongala (Act Fitness) vs Michael Fangki, gayundin ang laban nina Lucky Mateo 9Fight Corps MMA) vs Crisz Aplicador (Hitman MMA).
