While he is yet to make his UFC debut, Sean Loeffler might just be the most interesting man in the promotion.
During his appearance on The Verbal Submission, Loeffler told some of the most insane stories about the early days of his MMA career when he was fighting in po-dunk promotions all around the world. We’ve got one for you today and it’s a doozy.
This one involved cockfights, rats and thieves in the Philippines. Check it out:
Day 2 – I just finished going through the Underground River. Now I’m zip lining. Zip Lining in Palawan is an adventure by itself. First you take a jeep, then you cross a river with a raft, then you walk through a beautiful secluded beach, and then finally, you climb up a mountain to the zip line launch area. The mountain climb itself takes about 20 minutes through a dense rainforest. The zip line is 800 meters or 2625 feet in length and takes approximately 1 ½ minutes to complete. Definitely the longest zip line I’ve gotten on. I was tired but it was great experience.
So I’m even more sick now. I wake up, pop some pain killers. And then I decide to be a kind sir and take some pain killers to my friends boarding house in Angeles City, Pampanga which is terrifying to walk through at night. There’s no lights at all. During the day it’s not so bad. So I get there and they are cooking some Filipino cuisine – Pancit Canton.
I hang out there for awhile. We are all coughing and all of us are sick. What a great germ-invested boarding house. I head out to McDonald’s after watching the Filipina girls eat Pancit – I’m hungry. After that I head back to the apartment.
So Robi is out, gone, I don’t know where. Well, I probably do. Probably bar hopping on Fields Avenue. I’m just sitting in the apartment playing this new game from the Mac Store called Topple Drop. Pretty fun.
Woke up around 2:30 in the afternoon. That means I’m officially sick. I went out to PureGold to pick up some fruits and orange juice. I need to do my laundry so I head out to Fields Laundry on Fields Avenue. Back at the apartment and watching the movie “Let Me In.”
Waking up in my apartment in Angeles City, Philippines. I eat some yummy mango for breakfast and then head to to SM Clark. I think I’m catching a cold, so I buy some Vitamin C, or as they call it in the Philippines, ascorbic acid. I head out to DAU McDonald’s.
There’s a couple of street kids waiting outside McDonald’s. I decide to brighten their night up a little bit and chat with them for a few minutes. The taller one was wearing something underneath his shirt that looked like a big box, but I never figured out what it was.
I met up with some friends at the McDonald’s, then I went to get some gas, and then head back to the apartment to watch UFC BJ Penn VS. Jon Fitch.
San Juan is the surfing capital of the West Coast of Luzon. There is a new luxury resort there called Kahuna Beach Resort and Spa which I visited on my recent trip.
