Any illussions that Banario would be easy pickings for the 45 year old dentist were shattered by a toe-to-toe exchange which saw the "rock" give as good as he got from "the saint" but the trouble was, usually in exchanges involving Manguray, it is the doctor who is left standing. This time both men were still on thier feet, but then after a few moments Manguray was on his back with "the rock" mounting him.
The fight on the ground saw Manguray escape seveeral timmes, ack to stand -up , a few exchanges, which were equal both in venom for both, the only problem ( for mangutay) was Banario was not succumbing to the doctors punches. This would be the stroyline here - A Saint punching a Rock. The Rock wins. Conditioning, toughnesss and a proctracted ground and stand-up game wore out the erstwhile undefeated legend from davao, Banario finally got the rear naked choke and the fight was over in the middle of the second round.
The bad news - the legend suffers his first defeat. The good news - the URCC has a new Monster to unleash in the region , proving that MMA in the philippines has the depth.
