MANILA, Philippines ? Two mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters hungry for a rematch will see action in the Colt 45 Universal Reality Combat Championship (URCC) XIX Collision. Headlining the fight card is URCC's longest-running pinweight champ Roy "Punisher" Docyogen who will defend his title against contender Alvin "Sindikato" Ramirez. The fight will be on April 2 at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.
The undefeated Docyogen, who holds an 8-0 slate, is confident he will stay on top. "I'm ready," the Lakay MMA pride said. Docyogen edged out Ramirez via unanimous decision in their clash held November 2009.
Ramirez, who is under the Yaw Yan Buhawi stable, is now coming back with two impressive wins that followed his defeat to the "Punisher."
Meanwhile, the following big stars will also clash in the URCC XIX: Honorio "Rock" Banario vs Davao's Angelito "Saint" Manguray for the lightweight title; Hideo "Death from Tokyo" Morikawa vs Jessie "Finisher" Rafols for a bantamweight showdown.
