URCC says MMA fight on between Baron Geisler, Kiko Matos


It's on. 

After publicly inviting Baron Geisler and Kiko Matos to settle their differences inside the ring, URCC confirmed that two have accepted the challenge to fight on June 25. 

The call was made by URCC president Alvin Aguilar on Monday, after reports surfaced that Geisler and Matos figured in a bar brawl over the weekend

“We’d like to extend the invitation to Baron Geisler and Kiko Matos. If you guys are really going to fight, the URCC cage is open for both of you,” Aguilar said. “Do it there instead of in the bars. So you’re very very welcome.”

Later on Monday, URCC announced that Matos has accepted the challenge.

"Kiko Matos already got in touch with our new match-maker, Ronald Catunao and said that he will fight Baron Geisler inside the URCC cage on June 25, 2016. Kiko Matos will start training as soon as Baron Geisler confirms as well. Stay tuned!" the promotion announced.

It didn't take long before Geisler also gave the go signal for the fight. 

"Baron Geisler just contacted our match-maker over the phone and says that he wants to settle everything with Kiko Matos inside the cage on URCC Fight Night this coming June 25, 2016 at the Palace Pool Club," URCC confirmed through its Facebook page on Tuesday. 

 

 

The two will compete in the pro-am division of URCC Fight Night that will feature URCC Light Heavyweight Champion Chris Hoffman of DEFTAC/B.A.M.F MMA Center versus Arvin Chan of Team Vallega Camp/Elorde Dahlia in the main event. —JST, GMA News
