7th Weekend - Action 3

Pacific Extreme

Mixed Martial Arts Event

February 16, Saturday

Ynares Sports Center, Pasig

Bloody Saturday

I'm no MMA fan, though this is the fourth MMA event that I've photographed since August of 2012.  Anyway, here's what I can share from Saturday's event.

That's Louis Smolka,  aka "The Last Samurai", a 21 year old from Hawaii,

bloodied but NOT beaten. After play stoppage [Smolka had to be attended to, temporarily - below] the match is eventually resumed and Smolka prevails and is eventually declared  winner vs Alvin Cacdac.

The bearded Caucasian is Uriah Vanden Bos [this guy is from Catanduanes - pre Pinoy na Pinoy magsalita to!] and to his left is James velasquez.  I believe that's an MMA fighter to James' right [I forget his name - He actually fought in the Main Event of One Pacific Extreme held  last November at the SMART Araneta]

The Main Event
sees Alvin Cacdac  challenge  Harris Sarmiento.

In just 4 minutes and 27 seconds Isaiah Ordiz knows he's been beat - signals.
