ERIC “The Natural” Kelly made his comeback more memorable by dispatching Chinese Jianbo Lu to take the Superfight title while Ukrainian Igor Subora retained his heavyweight crown in the URCC Colt 45 held at SMX Convention Center in Pasay City over the weekend.
Kelly won by submission via arm bar just two minutes into the match. It was his Chinese rival’s first loss in six matches.
“I want to finish him off right away because I know how good he is,” said Kelly, who lost to Honorio Banario last February.
Subora was deadlier, needing just 27 seconds to beat Marcus Valda, thanks to a vicious left that staggered the two-time Southeast Games wrestling champion in the event presented by Colt 45 and backed by MegaSports World and Tribal Gear.
Also winning in the event supported by Anzahl Paint, Chris Sports, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, Red Box Karaoke, Tapa King, Padi’s Point, Lifeline Rescue, Impact High Performance Whey Protein, Boost Next Level Creatine, Dymatize and P&P Tattoo was Reydon “Red” Romero, who beat Ricardo “El Matador” Sapno to take the URCC featherweight title.
