Two new bouts announced for UFC Fight Night Manila 2


The Ultimate Fighting Championship has confirmed two new bouts for UFC Fight Night Manila: Lamas vs. Penn

Adding to the explosive line-up is a Welterweight bout between James “Moon Walker” Moontasri (9-4-0, fighting out of Los Angeles, California USA) and Alex “The Great White” Morono (12-3-0, fighting out of Houston Texas USA).

A black belt in Tae Kwon Do and Muay Thai, Moontasri will look to showcase his fast and dynamic striking when he faces the aggressive Morono, who is currently on a six-fight winning streak, most recently coming off a split-decision victory in UFC 195: Lawler vs Condit.
