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.
Filipino fans will also be treated to a Middleweight bout between Dongi “The Ox” Yang (12-3-0, fighting out of Seoul South Korea) and Ryan Janes (8-1-0, fighting out of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada).
Known for his aggressive attacking style, Yang is a decorated mixed martial artist with black belts in Tae Kwon Do, Judo, and Yong Mong Do. He meets UFC newcomer and grappling specialist Janes who is currently on a seven-fight winning streak, five of which came via rear naked choke.
