EDUARD ?THE LANDSLIDE? Folayang stakes his unbeaten card when he battles Guam?s AJ ?The Head Ache? Aguon in their Colt 45 Universal Reality Combat Championship (URCC) XIV Aggression Saturday at the A. Venue Events Hall in Makati.
A two-time SEA Games champion in wushu (sanshou, 70kg), Folayang enjoys a slight edge over Aguon owing to his high-altitude training in Baguio and his impressive wins in previous URCC events.
?I trained for seven weeks in Baguio; it?s a high-altitude training so I?m ready for him,? said the 5-foot-8 Folayang, who is out to keep his slate clean and at the same time boost his stock as one of the top athletes in the fighting scene.
Folayang, who also won a silver medal in the Doha Asian Games three years ago, boasts of four wins, including a sensational TKO win over Marianas? Elite Jerome Norita in Saipan four months ago.
Known for his superior takedown and striking, Folayang needed only 52 seconds to beat his rival there.
URCC founder and president Alvin Aguilar said crowd support is expected to give Folayang the extra motivation.
Folayang, however, can?t take Aguon lightly as the 5-foot-10 fighter of Spike 22 is determined to end the Filipino?s reign in the tournament.
?I?m feeling good, I feel fast and strong,? said Aguon, who boasts of a 3-0 record.
Aside from the Folayang-Aguon match, nine other equally explosive fights are in store for mixed martial arts fans, including the light heavyweight battle between Remand Lazaro of Hybrid Yaw Yan and Caloy Baduria.
