WIN or lose, Caloy 'The Bad Boy' Baduria will retire for good after his middleweight bout against unbeaten Mariano 'The Hitman' Jones in the main event of the Universal Reality Combat Championship (URCC) 86 next Tuesday at the Palace in Xylo in BGC.
URCC 86: Baduria vs Jones
The 43-year-old fighter from Northern Samar vowed to make his farewell fight a memorable one as he looks forward of giving his Costa Rican opponent a good fight.
“This will be my last fight and I want a good experience out of it. It’s another challenge for me. But win or lose, I will be retiring for good,” Baduria said during the URCC 86 presser recently at BGC.
“My opponent is young and hungry, but I will give my best to give him a good fight.”
Baduria holds an 11-6-1 win-loss-draw record, highlighted by nine knockouts owing to his great striking ability.
But he’ll be facing a notorious, unbeaten foe known for his wrestling and striking skills responsible for retiring Arvin Chan last April 25 via a keylock submission.
“I will treat my rival with full respect by training hard and giving him the best fight. Whatever happens, I prepared myself, I worked on my wrestling, grappling, and striking,” said Jones, who will be turning 27 on July 7.
Jones is undefeated in two fights with one knockout and one by submission.
URCC founding President Alvin Aguilar and Vice-President Co-Owner/ General Manager Aleks Sofronov meanwhile, announced the inclusion of the first ever grappling bouts in URCC history.
Backed by online casino Atlantis, the fight card is also supported by Angkas, and Lucas Lepri BJJ.
