The Philippines has had its fair share of visits from
UFC (
Ultimate Fighting Championship) stars. Hall of Famer
Chuck Liddell has been here, current (
and still, even after UFC 167, hehe) Welterweight Champion
Georges St-Pierre has been here,
BJ Penn has also paid a visit, and of course our very own Filipino Wrecking Machine
Mark Munoz has been here, too.
This time around,
Alexander 'The Mauler' Gustafsson, the man who gave Jon Jones the fight of his life, will be coming to Manila for a Public Open Training. The event, dubbed as
'The Mauler Takes Over' will take place at the Trinoma Activity Center on November 10, 2013.

| Alexander Gustafsson in Manila! |
One hundred (100) lucky fans will be given the chance to meet and greet the Swedish mixed martial artist on the said day, and they will also be given the opportunity to take photos with 'The Mauler'. Promo details and mechanics can be found on the
Balls Channel official website.
I would love, love, love to see The Mauler in person, but alas, I'll still be out of the country by that time. Oh well, guess I'll just keep my fingers crossed that Manila will really be hosting a UFC tilt in 2014. :)
