Urrutia Throws a Punchline Into the Featherweight Ring
2018: A Year to Own the Octagon (and maybe a few laughs)
Emilio “Honey Badger” Urrutia eyed the year ahead and said, “Let’s get it!” His plan? Board the bird‑trapped cage, throw a left hook, and rope‑walk the crowd into a standing ovation. The result? Nothing but a thunder‑clap of a knockout.
Round One: The One‑Hit Wonder
The night was fresh, the lights were blazing, and envy was on the menu. On Friday, 26th January at the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Urrutia faced Bruno Pucci. Expectation? Wonder. Reality? A left hook so fierce it could have punched a tree—Pucci hit the canvas with a splash before the bell even rang.
- First round – BOOM! The zombies of the crowd swooned.
- Pucci: “Where did that come from?” The referee got the right answer.
- Urrutia: Gleam of glory pepped the fans as if he’d just found a new favourite drum.
From Past Hauls to Future Thrills
Before 2018, honey badgers had already been hit by two mighty knockouts, but Urrutia was unphased. He swaggered into the ring, high‑fived fans left and right, and said: “Your peace of mind is about to get a new soundtrack.” If you think a fighter’s name is “Puccibull,” guard your ears—he meant it for the champ’s style, not a pet name.
Now, the future is clear: one, two, three — the badge of the featherweight division will rest firmly on Coconut‑Bite’s belt. And if you’re still not convinced, just watch the next three minutes and you’ll see who’s the real heavyweight in the featherweight pool.

From that moment, The Honey Badger turned up the thunder.
Mid‑Round Mayhem

- Halfway Point Shockwave: As the bell marked the halfway, a second powerful right hand crashed into Pucci’s temple, front‑loading the finish.
The Final Hook
