BloodyElbow.com was on hand at the Veranda Restaurant Parkmall in Mandaue City, for the press conference and weigh-ins of the URCC's 7th trip to Cebu.
Headlining the stacked provincial card is the return of the biggest MMA star from the Philippines in Eduard Folayang. The #6 ranked lightweight in the 2011 World MMA Scouting Report will be fighting in the country for the first time since March of 2010, and will be taking on Wadson Teixeira, a Brazilian Muay Thai champion with a BJJ Brownbelt.
The Wushu expert in Folayang tipped the scales right on the 160 lb. limit of their super-fight. Teixeira on the other hand, was 2 lbs over the limit, and after a brief discussion, Eduard and his Team Lakay camp just agreed to let the fight go on.
Also on the card, the Visayan Pinweight (119 lbs.) and Bantamweight (139 lbs.) titles will be on the line, and the contenders made weight as well. Check out the complete official weigh-in results after the jump.

How did Folayang and Teixeira look standing next to each other, is Folayang going to have a big size advantage?
not sure by fight time,
(cause of the weight cut) but Eduard looked just a tad bigger during the weigh-ins. Ole Looked massive next to both of them though.

Never heard of pinweight. Those guys must be freaking small. What does Visayan mean btw? Is it a different organization?
the Philippines has 3 major islands (or group of islands). Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. So he’s like the best of that region.
