The pride of the Philippines Adrian Hillana defends his middleweight crown against Iranian Razi Jabarri when the Fearless Intensity 8 Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) Championship unfurls on Friday at the New Ynares Center in (Kapitolyo) Pasig City in front of the Rotonda on Shaw Boulevard.
Hillana kayoed Jabarri 14 seconds into their fight when they first fought but the Iranian is determined to exact revenge.
Since losing to Hillana, the Iranian has won several fights, thus making their rematch a must-see battle.

There will be two championship fights (middleweight and featherweight) and one super fight and there are also six qualifying undercards, including a pair of heavyweight matches.
Action starts at 7 p.m.
Combining the various disciplines of boxing, wrestling, karate, kickboxing, kung fu, taekwondo and even muay thai, MMA is the ultimate in full contact sports where a wide variety of fighting techniques are used, including both striking and grappling.
Fought in an octagon arena, MMA is fast becoming a favorite sport among Filipinos. It is actually one of the fastest rising sports in Japan, Brazil and the United States.
