SMOKERFIGHT X

Come this October, 27 2012, it is the biggest event for EDGE MMA to hold the smokerfight event. It will be at the Kadayawan Hall of NCCC, Matina, Davao City, Philippines. MMA Fighters from all over mindanao will compete, places such as Koronodal, Tagum, Kidapawan, Bukidnon, Butuan, Cagayan de Oro City will be represented, and all of these fighters converged in a single night, where they will EARN their stripes. Mostly amateurs and debut fighters, however there will be other who had competed pro. It will be an evening to remember for all mixed martial arts enthusiasts.

a stand-up fight between this two Technical Fighters with different martial arts background. Sumogat, on one hand is known for his grappling skills, has never lost a stand-up smokerfight competition and has been very effective and efficient in his striking skills. Sumogat is a wushu and karate practitioner and has earned a high ranking belt under the tutelage of his coach Mars Cenojas of the CMMA 

fighting system. On the other hand, Bandera has never also lost a smokerfight event. He is a very skill full muay thai practitioner who earned his KRU status from Thailand under the preceptorship of KRU Docto. He is otherwise known as the "Jose Aldo" of Davao City after his previous impressive win giving his opponent a pinpoint accurate and hard leg kicks.
Both different discipline same Battlefield, both champions on their own rights, but there could be only one. Witness the battle of this two humble yet deadly and ruthless fighters inside the ring at SF10.

 

OUR MAIN EVENT

Edward Manteza with his very calm demeanor inside the ring, never lost an MMA fight in his mma career with a fight record of 7-0. Manteza's prowess got recognized when he fought an opponent 30kgs heavier than him on the 3rd Smoker Fight event. HE again did this on the subsequent event when he submitted another heavy weight opponent. This fearless fighter is out to make a statement again that he is a warrior a force to be reckoned with.

CDO'S PROVING GROUND

August was an action packed month given that there was the kadayawan festival here in Davao City, and for the MMA fans URCC had their once a year event. However, on this blog I will not be talking about the other promotions. What I will talk about is the MMA event in CDO. Yup , you read it right, MMA in CDO or should i say Cagayan de Oro (for those who prefers spelling things out hehehehe). When and Where was the vent? How was it?  August 25the at Liceo de Cagayan University Gym titled as "Proving Ground , WARSHOCK" a Muay Thai and MMA EVENT presented by Mindanao Ultimate Mixed Martial Arts (the group does not represent the whole mindanao but it is CDO based mixed martial arts organization...just mking things clear hahaha...Rose wag magalit). The event was also a selection event for PXC, as what I had heard from the organizers. And who spearhead this pivotal event? she is no other than Roselyn Hung. The event featured fighters from different regions, from Davao City to Butuan City to Cebu City. What are the results?
