MANILA, Philippines - The cage-fighting feud between actors Baron Geisler and Kiko Matos was likely a one-night only affair.
Geisler and Matos battled to a two-round draw in their Universal Reality Combat Championship (URCC) open-weight exhibition match Saturday, June 25 at Valkyrie in Taguig City, Philippines, with all 3 judges scoring the fight 19-19. Despite the lack of a conclusive result. a rematch is unlikely after both men hugged and showed mutual respect for one another.
When asked if the reconciliation was just for show, Geisler answered “I believe hindi, I believe hindi Ang laking respeto ko kay Kiko.”
(I don’t believe so, I don’t believe so. I have huge respect for Kiko.)
The fight saw Kiko Matos dominating the entire first round. Geisler performed better in the second round but did not inflict significant damage to over his opponent.
“Hindi na po, naranasan ko na po, so okay na po ‘to,” Matos answered when asked if he would want to fight in a mixed martial arts (MMA) contest again.
(No, I’ve already experienced it, so I’m already okay with it.)
“Wala na kong galit kay Baron, yung mga asaran namin, asaran lang yun,” Matos said confirming that he have made amends with his rival.
(I’m no longer mad at Baron, our banters are just merely banters.)
After months of public displays of hatred toward each other, Geisler and Matos have seemingly moved on from this exercise in animosity. – Rappler.com
