MANILA – Mark Palomar is optimistic that his forthcoming duel with Chinese Darui Tang in the Universal Reality Combat Championship (URCC) Fight Night on Sept. 28 at Octopus Bar in Makati City would cement the Philippines' position in combat sports.
"One of us will fall, probably him (Tang). I prepared hard for this fight to prove that the Philippines is No. 1 in combat sports in Asia," Palomar said during a press conference on Friday.
"It will be a very short fight. My opponent will be knocked out at fight night," Tang countered.
