Seo clobbers Anduque in URCC bout

DeokJin Seo won by decision over Henry Anduque to reinforce his position as one of the fast-rising mainstays of Universal Reality Combat Champion (URCC) Fight Club recently at the G Side Night Club in Tomas Morato, Quezon City.

Seo is a South Korean fighter who has been a notable figure in the Philippine mix martial arts aside from being involved in grassroots competition.

Quickly enough, Seo showed his credentials as he displayed his wares against Anduque, a Filipino stalwart, during the main event heavyweight class where he scored a unanimous decision victory highlighted by tremendous striking and takedowns.

“Great win. I focused on my counters and happily to get it and challenge one of the country’s heavyweight fighters Sugar “The Mammoth” Estroso,” Seo said. “I will train hard for this.” 

The win put the South Korean fighter in a projected confrontation with Sugar Ray “The Mammoth” Estroso for the heavyweight title, according to URCC President Alvin Aguilar who praised all the fighters for showing enough pride to win. 

“It was a hell of a fight and we’re thankful to all fighters who put up quality performances,” Aguilar said. “We are looking forward to Seo’s potential challenge to Estroso next. It is going to be a classic thrilling matchup.”

Rufino Mante and Albert Patindol also hogged the limelight in the fight event organized by the country’s founding father of Filipino mixed martial arts as they came out victorious over their respective opponents in contrasting fashion.

Mante won by a third round technical knockout win over Arsenio Balisacan in their bantamweight showdown, while Patindol submitted veteran striker Rene Catalan into kimura submission in round two of their flyweight bout.

Catalan contested the fight outcome, denying that he did not tap out and now asking for a fight rematch with Patindol.
