“We want to the start the year right, so we are bringing Eduard back to the MMA scene,” said URCC president Alvin Aguilar. “It’s going to be one big event in Cebu because the sport is fast gaining popularity in the South.”

Folayang is coming off a successful SEA Games campaign in Indonesia where he retained his title, a feat that reinforced his status as the country’s most successful wushu and MMA artist of his generation.
