URCC XIX: Collision is official. As we reported earlier, it will be headlined by a 135 lb. Super-Fight between URCC champ Kevin Belingon and former KOTC champ Ryan Diaz.

Two titles will also be on the line on the stacked undercard:
- Undefeatead wushu expert, Roy Docyogen, will be defending his URCC Pinweight Championship (119 lbs.) in a rematch against the very young and exciting Alvin Ramirez.

- Honorio Banario, who is fresh of that victory over Iranian, Razi Jabbari (Yes, the guy who got choked out by the promoter) will have a chance to take home another title for Team Lakay Wushu as he is set to take on URCC lightweight champ, Angelito Manguray, the exciting and undefeated Karate-based fighter that's already on his 40's.

from my other post

about the superfight between Diaz and Belingon:

Undefeated URCC flyweight champion, Kevin Belingon has been tearing up the Asian circuit recently, picking up three more impressive wins on top promotions like ESPN Martial Combat and Legend FC. The 23-year-old Wushu expert already has wins over Filipino MMA legend, Richard Lasprilla and current URCC bantamweight champion, Justin Cruz, but his next fight might be his toughest test to date.
…
Diaz is a 31-year-old Filipino-American, whose 12-year MMA career has been with promotions like KOTC, MFC, Shooto, and Stikeforce. A former Muay Thai champion, Diaz has been an instructor at Arizona Combat Sports, and through out his career, has regularly moved above his natural weight class to challenge top guys such as UFC standouts, Nam Phan, Hermes Franca, and Mark Hominick.
.
There have been on going rumors about Belingon drawing a lot of interest from the WEC, and now the UFC bantamweight division, and what makes this an intriguing match up is that Diaz is the perfect litmus test to see how he can hang against talented and experienced opposition from North America.
