Ana “The Hurricane” Julaton is pumped up for her return fight in the Philippines next month.
The boxer and mixed martial arts fighter is looking forward to go up the ring in Manila once again, but this time against an opponent who is off to an explosive start in her own MMA career.
Julaton (2-1) emerged victorious against Egyptian Walaa Abbas Mohamed Kamaly by a uninanimous decision in December last year. That was her last fight in the Philippines. This time, the Filipino-American will be taking on Russian Irina Mazepa in a flyweight clash in the ONE Championship’s “Spirit of the Champions” on Dec. 11.
“This fight was supposed to happen last year, and she wasn’t [able] to pull it off because of an injury. It was a fight that was ready to be made and I’m glad it’s happening in Manila. I am looking forward to this fight. I’m pumped,” Julaton said.
