    ALLEN WYCOCO survived an exhausting bout before stopping Dondon “Rugbiboy” Serrano, while Will Chope retained his belt against a former adversary in the Universal Reality Combat Championship (URCC) 85: UNDERDOG last week at the DD Night Club in Tomas Morato, Quezon City.

    Wycoco, an ex-amateur boxer based in New Zealand before joining the Dyincredible Fighting and Fitness Center, banked on his superb boxing experience to exploit Serrano’s lack of stamina and score a fourth round technical knockout and keep the bareknuckle boxing welterweight belt.

    “My coach instructed me to use my boxing skills, use my footwork and clinch wisely. I’m tired but he felt more exhausted than me so I continue fighting,” Wycoco, 32, said. “I salute Serrano for fighting with a lot of heart. I know he’s tired but he still wanted to fight. I caught him though.”

    Unbeaten Wycoco, coached by active mixed martial artist Rolando Dy, caught Serrano with various combinations in the third and fourth round before the referee halted the fight with 2:44 left to improve his win-loss record at 2-0.

    Chope, a former Ultimate Fighting Championship campaigner, got his revenge so quick in the first few seconds of the first round by submitting Brian Paule with a rear naked choke to keep the URCC welterweight interim title.

    “I’m a man of my words and this is my 136 MMA professional fights. I did everything in the URCC for 12 years and I am thankful to Alvin [Aguilar],” the 32-year-old Chope said after the fight as he improved to a 42-19 record.

    The fight card organized by founding President Alvin Aguilar and URCC co-owner/ General Manager Aleksandr Sofronov, was supported by Crazywin and the DD Night Club.
