MANILA, Philippines - Ateneo and La Salle bring their rivalry to the amateur side of mixed martial arts (MMA) as they see action in the Colt 45 Universal Reality Combat Championship (URCC) University Challenge 2009 at the A. Venue Events Hall in Makati.
Players of both schools are expected to bring their A-game when they clash against each other on Sept. 12.
