Explosive Fight Results Like No Other!

Heres the reason why URCC is the most exciting UFC promotion in Asia: there are no company champions, no holding back, and everyone fights to finish each other, each athlete fighting for the fans.

The URCC 27: Rebellion started out with a bang, with an epic entrance from soldiers, and an opening dance by the Resorts World Manila Dancers. The event opened with undercard fighters that had some punch to pack. The fights all ended under the first round, all under unique conditions.
