URCC Cebu is happening tomorrow, January 14, 2011 (Friday), at 7pm. Bubba will be refereeing most of the fights with the help of a local referee. He’s tagging me along so I’d be seeing up-close what Cebu fighters have to offer in the MMA scene.
Since we already flew out to Cebu, we might as well make most of the trip and the weekend. It’s the 2011 Sinulog Festival in Cebu and it will be our first time to join the Sinulog Festival experience.

Most of our previous Cebu travels consisted of trips to the nearby islands like Bantayan Island, Virgin Island and Malapascua.

But on this trip to Cebu, we’re departing from the usual beach escapes and will discover the beautiful city of Cebu. Other than trying to check out the historical and must-see places in Cebu City, this trip is going to be a Cebu food trip!!!
I have about 10-12 restaurants in the list and I have no idea how to finish all the restaurants. For Saturday dinner, while Bubba is off to Alvin’s BJJ seminar, I’m pretty excited to meet with Eric and Trixie, who are also going to be in Cebu.
I can’t wait to post about the URCC Cebu event, the winners, and this food-filling weekend in Cebu City. Stay tuned!

Bantayan Island is now more accessible via a private plane though quite expensive but quick flight.
