The Filipino-Swiss Universal Reality Combat Championship fighter simultaneously holds two titles in two different weight classes. Hofmann survived barrage of punches in 40 seconds by Douglas who nearly finished our kababayan during the opening round. Douglas started to slow which led Hofmann getting back to his feet.
