There are four Filipino fighters now signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) that are set to make their mark on the world’s biggest MMA organization.
Hyder Amil made an impressive UFC debut when the Cebu native with a diverse heritage, retained his undefeated record at 9-0 after winning his UFC featherweight bout against Fernie Garcia.
According to a report by The Philippine Star, Josh Culibao, born in Sydney, Australia, recently suffered a split decision loss in his featherweight bout, marking his first two-game losing streak in eight years. However, the Aussie-born Pinoy is not letting this weigh him down as he prepares to make a big comeback.
Ricky Turcios, of Filipino and Ecuadorian descent but born in the United States, has a more secure position with a 3-1 record in the UFC. However, he recently faced a setback against fellow Filipino Kevin Natividad.
