MMA superfight to spice up Yaw-Yan's Ground & Pound V: Retribution

CEBU, Philippines - A Mixed Martial Arts superfight between a Filipino warrior and a Malaysian journeyman will spice up the hotly-anticipated Ground & Pound V: Retribution - an explosive kickboxing and MMA showdown set at 7pm on August 8 at the Cebu Coliseum.

Ricardo “D Hammer” Cubillas of the Butuan Extreme MMA faces an uphill climb as he defends the country’s pride against Samchai Sir-Rencho of Tenbudo MMA Malaysia in a three-round duel under the middleweight (170 lbs.) division.

In the main event of MMA action, Ali “The Grappler” Malawi of Lapu-Lapu’s Mixed Fighting System will go up against Voltaire “Rough Neck” Gonzales of Tagbilaran City’s Red Dragon MMA also for three rounds under the pinweight (110 lbs.) class.

Renan “Limbas” Noblefranca of Yaw-Yan Cebu ArDigma, on the other hand, hopes to steal part of the spotlight as he traded fistic bombs and bone-cracking kicks with Jobert “Da Sniper” Bayling of Cagayan de Oro City’s Wushu Sanshou in the main attraction of the kickboxing card.

The Noblefranca-Baylin collision is dubbed as the battle between the pride of the Visayas and the best of Mindanao.
