Bautista of AXC overcame Jerry Hilot of Python’s Pit while Dennis Quinonero of Cenojas MMA (CMMA) prevailed over Allan Calit Yasis of Davao City.

Ian Duay of King’s Sword, Brandon Lascuna of Metrolifestyle and Alterado of AXC also axed wins.

“The event showed that there are a lot of enthusiasts who are interested in playing MMA,” organizer Dr. Vince Vicente said.
