Baron-Kiko battle in MMA ring ends in a draw


The spat between Baron Geisler and Kiko Matos may have been settled. Their face-off in an MMA cage on Saturday ended up in a unanimous draw.

 

 

Each actor scored 19 points in the two-round exhibition match. A draw was declared via unanimous decision.

The Valkyrie night club in Bonifacio Global City in Taguig City burst in cheers when the MMA fight withered to an end, concluding the month-long tension between the two actors.

The tiff between Geisler and Matos stemmed form a brawl in a Quezon City bar last May.

They agreed to settle their differences in the Universal Reality Combat Championship cage after being invited by URCC president Alvin Aguilar.

The exhibition match drew a big crowd and grabbed the limelight from the main bout of the night, which was between Chris Hofmann and Arvin Chan.

Supporting matches included fights between John Adajar and Jericho Tomagan, and Eddie Estrada and MJ Abrillo.

Geisler earlier stated that he was gunning for a knockout victory. The actor was trained in taekwondo, having competed in national competitions when he was younger.
