BloodyElbow.com was on deck at the packed Cebu International Convention Center as the Philippines' biggest star headlined URCC Cebu 7: Dominate.
In what has almost been a trademark in each of his fights, Eduard Folayang once again displayed his massive heart and found a way to win despite facing adversity early on.
Folayang landed a few shots standing before getting dropped by a flush left hook from the Brazilian Muay Thai champion in Wadson Teixeira. The Wushu expert survived, regained guard, and reversed the position only to fall on a guillotine attempt from the BJJ brownbelt. Folayang defended well, and started raining down several of the loudest elbows I have ever heard. After taking all those heavy elbows, Teixeira signaled to tap, but the Nova Uniao and Legacy Gym product still went out, and remained down on the mat for an extended period.
All that in just 56 seconds of fighting.
With the victory, Folayang, who is ranked as the #6 lightweight in the World MMA Scouting Report, improved to 11-1 and extended his winning streak to six.
Check out the full results after the jump. Photo Gallery will be up soon, and as always, follow me on twitter.

How many times has this guy been rocked/hurt and come back to win?
I thought I remembered reading about him doing the same once or twice before.

A LOT.
it’s seriously like a given with him at this point. He’ll be in gritty wars, but you will have to do A LOT to stop the dude.

That's impressive
Probably not the best idea for career longevity and I’m sure he doesn’t train to get tagged in every fight…but you have to respect the type of determination it takes to come back and win from punishment.

I agree with the general sentiment
although in this case, Folayang really got hit by one punch. It dropped him, but I don’t really think he took a lot of punishment.

I think he got reallyyy rocked
probably on around half of his fights on that current winning streak.

Without a doubt, dude has heart. But getting rocked that often is definitely not good, especially if he ever gets signed by the UFC. Sounds like a great performance though.
