Perfect
Finally, I’d get to see a “decent” MMA event live here in Manila. Although it would’ve been better if Josh Barnett would’ve competed for the event. Atleast, I’d get to see my long time MMA idol live in action.
Well, the card looks stacked though. They have Babalu, Snowman and Kondo on the card, so I can’t afford to miss this.
A welcome addition to the once busy December for MMA fanatics. Team Barnett FTW!
And btw, thanks for the info regarding sa ticket prices.
Wooh! Ken Shamrock and Royce Gracie. This is going to be sweet. Hopefully, we get to see fighting with technique and grace, not just two dudes throwing fists at each other until one dude falls down. Then metaphorical ass-raping ensues.
We, the GenAd dudes, are the luckiest fight fans in that event. Imagine our 315 peso seats turned to Upper Box A (2100 pesos) on that day. Woohoo! See you at December 2008 at Araneta for the repeat!
