Mixed martial arts (MMA) will dress up this Saturday in the capital. The fastest growing company in the country, WOW FC, returns with a luxury event, which will feature the best lineup it has put together to date. WOW 6, which will be held this May 21 at the Marriott Hotel in Madrid, will have a top-level stellar match: Enrique Marín ‘Wasabi’ will face the experienced Álex Quilez, in a fight that promises fireworks.
«It supposes the return of a past, present and future, because ‘Wasabi’ still has a lot to offer. He is a person who transcends MMA. He supposes illusion and a very important ‘main event’ against a very tough rival. We always try to make the fights arouse interest and this fight is impressive, “says David Balarezo ‘Bala’ in conversation with ABC.
Thus, Wasabi returns to the WOW cage a year later, since in May 2021 he achieved a hard-fought victory against Aliston Cordeiro in WOW 3. The Sevillian fighter is an emblem of national MMA after placing his name in the history of the sport national by becoming the first Spanish fighter to compete in the UFC in its modern day. Opposite will be Álex Quilez, with a record of 8 wins and 7 losses, who will arrive in the capital to try to snatch the spotlight from the fighter from Sanlúcar la Mayor.
But there are more incentives. The IMMAF world runner-up, Juan Izquierdo ‘El Chapo’, will make his professional debut against Weverton Dos Santos, while the world bronze medalist, Rafael Calderón ‘Leprechaun’, will do the same against Mantas Rimsa. The last professional fight that promises to arouse the emotion of the stands will be the one between Armando Bayos and David Matas.
In addition, the Spanish champion Arturo Aedillo will face Enrique Jamanca; Adonay Molina will fight against Manuel del Valle; Richard Jacome will face Manuel Cordón; Yaman Hjahed against José de Arribas Gilarte; Víctor Martos against Raúl Constantin and Ernesto Schisano against Gonzalo Landarech.
The event, called ‘Fight for Peace’, will allocate a part of the funds raised to help Ukraine.
