BANTAMWEIGHT champion Lino “The Terminator” Tagacay of
Philippine Army and flyweight Kevin Belingon of Lakay Wushu will
defend their respective titles in the Colt 45 Universal Reality
Combat Championship (URCC) XII “Supremacy” on July 5 at the A.
Venue Events Hall in Makati City.
URCC is the country’s first and biggest mixed
martial arts competition featuring top players from different
disciplines.
Tagacay, a former national boxer who trained
under a Cuban coach, is expected to face a strong challenge from
Fokai Guam’s Justin Cruz, a purple belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu who
beat him during the Ring of Fire competition.
Belingon, on the other hand, hopes to continue
his winning run when he battles fellow undefeated Magellan
“Bimbi” Perez of Elorde MMA.
Belingon dethroned Richard Lasparilla two years
ago and retained the title over Yaw-yans Roldan Cartagena by arm bar
submission last year.
Tickets for the event are available at selected
National Book Store and Robinson’s Department stores branches,
Ayala malls, Ticketworld (891-9999) or call the URCC hotline
0906-4616968 or 8137809 or log on to www.urccmma.com for details.
