The two recently announced spring cards for the UFC in Manila, Philippines and Adelaide, Australia just received a host of featherweight additions to their cards. Making their first trip to the Philippines the UFC Manila card has a main event between two guys well known in the smaller divisions in Urijah Faber and Frankie Edgar. Now the May 16th card will add about at 145 between Mark Eddiva (6-1) and Alex “The Spartan” White (10-2).
The South Australian card in Adelaide is headlined by two heavyweights in Mark Hunt and Stipe Miocic and will also add a battle in the featherweight division. New Zealand’s Daniel Hooker (11-5) will go at it with Hatsu Hioki (27-8-2).
Baguio City’s own Mark Eddiva was supposed to face Mike De Lattore in November after a loss to Edimilson Souza. His opponent Alex White is also looking to get back in the W column after dropping his last two.
Daniel Hooker coming off a lost to Maximo Blanco back in September is looking to get back with a win in South Australia. Hatsu Hioki was on the receiving end of a performance of the night submission against Charles Oliveria. He too is looking to rebound after scoring an impressive win over Ivan Menjivar last year.
UFC Adelaide takes place on May 10th followed a week later on May 16th with the promotions debut in Manila. Look for more announcements to each card soon.
