Preview: Chris Hofmann vs. John Adajar for the URCC Middleweight Championship


URCC 28: Vindication will feature four title bouts. Four warriors will cement and defend their place as the Champions of their divisions.

Featherweight title holder Do Gyeom Lee will go in war with Ryan Dela Cruz as the maint event. CJ 'The Golden Boy' De Tomas vs. Alvin 'Kastigo' Ramirez is the co-headliners of the night. The two will compete in a flyweight championship bout. Geli Bulaong will be fighting China's Yan Xiao Nan in women's flyweight in hopes for obtaining the first URCC female championship crown.

John Adajar and Chris Hofmann stepping up on a less than 30 days short notice. They will face off against each other for the vacant middleweight gold. One of the rising contenders will try to stop a champion who is riding the hottest streak of his career. This well rounded fighter will look to shock the crowd and become the middleweight champion. This will be no easy task when he takes on a light heavyweight champion. The heavy hand striker has finished four of his last opponents by TKO or knockout. Don't blink fight fans because this is going to be action packed.

URCC Light Heavyweight Champion, Chris Hofmann looks to push his winning streak to five. He is back in training. The champ is getting ready for his upcoming title fight later this year. All four of Hofmann's last fights inside the URCC cage were victorious. The newly-crowned champ, Hofmann is coming off back-to-back TKO wins as he recently won a huge TKO victory over the URCC veteran, Arvin “Asintado” Chan last  June 25 at URCC: Fight Night 1: Baron Geisler vs. Kiko Matos and also a TKO victory against the very tough, Caloy “Bad Boy” Baduria of Elorde MMA last April 23 at URCC 27: Rebellion for the vacant light heavyweight title. We will see whether or not the huge momentum he picked up with these fights continue on November. Hofmann is always seen training with fellow URCC fighter, Alvin Solinap, Jericho Tomagan and former URCC flyweight champ, Richard “The Dancing Devil” Lasprilla at the B.A.M.F MMA Center.

John “The Outlaw” Adajar is a promising up and comer on the URCC’s Welterweight Division, The Outlaw successfully made his URCC debut last June 25 against his long-time rival, Jericho Tomagan. The Outlaw has been a top contender ever since his days as an amateur, he was the reigning Welterweight fighter at the top Amateur MMA Circuit, Academy Fighting Championship that is headed by the URCC matchmaker, Ronald Catunao. After the fight, Adajar stated this “I just shut Tomagan’s mouth for 1min and 27 secs of the very 1st round”. He also stated in an online interview that this fight is just a warm-up for his title fight in the near future.

Outside the cage, The Outlaw of The Fitness Armory/Hitman Training Camp does part-time modelling and will not make you think that he is indeed a pro-athlete. Don’t let his good looks fool you though, ’cause this guy can whoop ass and look good. Inside or outside the cage. PLUS, he’s also the International Director of Sales of Century Properties. But, will he continue his winning ways or will Hofmann spoil it and hold a title in two different weight classes at the same time? Find out on URCC 28: Vindication, November 6 at the Marriott Grand Ballroom in Resorts World, Manila.
