The Mongolian powerhouse stepped up to take yet another Filipino’s head with him.But with how familiar Sangiao is with Batarkhuu (the Mongolian has wins over Adonis Sevilleno and his son, Jhanlo), Sangiao believes he has the information he needs to give Bumina-ang the edge.“Enkh-Orgil is a very strong fighter. We’re not relaxing. We’re preparing hard, Carlo’s preparing hard for that win. The win here is very crucial not just for Carlo but for the entire team and the Philippines,” he said“His bread and butter is wrestling and control. In his last fight, when he wasn’t able to control his last opponent, that’s where he had problems. Artem defended well and took him out on the feet, and I think it will be the same here. Carlo will keep it standing and take it there.”It was against Filipinos where Baatarkhuu made a name for himself, as three straight wins against Pinoys fast-tracked his rise through the bantamweight division.His fight against the aforementioned Jhanlo Sangiao took his name to new heights as he gave the Filipino prodigy his first loss in round two after a shaky opening five minutes.Seeing just how well Bumina-ang has built himself up, with his boxing and grappling getting better with each fight, the soft-spoken head coach believes this might be the time to finally put Baatarkhuu behind them.“We’re hoping and praying that we’ve solved him,” Sangiao said.“Of course in MMA anything can happen. But based on Carlo’s performance and his non-stop improvements from his first fight, there’s a big chance that he ends that spell,” he added. “Referee stoppage. First or second round.”
