Baron Geisler talks to Inquirer ShowbizLIVE in the aftermath of his URCC fight with fellow indie actor Kiko Matos.
Seems like award-winning actor Baron Geisler has found his peace and is on his road to change after his much-publicized cage fight with fellow indie actor Kiko Matos.
In his June 29 guesting at ShowbizLIVE, Inquirer Group’s first online-based entertainment weekly talk show, Geisler was all-gleeful talking about what he’s learned.
“We just wanted to settle our difference or our beef sa cage; at least pareho kaming may fighter spirit dahil pareho kaming hindi nag give up,” Geisler said.
A humbler Geisler comfortably admitted that the “Hukluban” star won the first round but that he managed to get his grip of the game and get his stance back.
“He landed a lot of punches in the first round but somehow I think naman sa second round para sa ‘kin, panalo na ko kasi nasurvive ko yun,” Geisler said.
Geisler also didn’t forget to thank the Universal Reality Combat Championship (URCC) for giving both him and Matos the chance to fight in the octagon as a lot of fighters had been dreaming to step inside it to unleash their “beast mode.”
He also praised other fighters who train hard for months in preparation for a 2 or 3-round cage fight. With the training that he underwent for just five days, he is aware of the hardships these fighters go through every day.
“Pasalamat ako sa URCC na nabigyan kami ng chance na ma-experience yun,” Geisler said.
He likewise thanked his coaches who trained him and did not make his drills light just because he is a celebrity.
“Pasalamat din ako sa mga coaches ko, di nila ‘ko bineybi dun, ako din di din ako nagpabeybi dun,” Geisler said.
There were even instances in the midst of his training that he questioned why he was even there, but he knew there was no turning back, he’d have to fight until the very end.
Trying to be Mister Beast Mode no more, Geisler offered to help those needing to contain their anger through a program he intends to initiate in their family-owned gym in Pampanga.
“That’s the reason why I’m putting up a program dun sa Pampanga, it’s either magrehab ka you’ll pay 60 to 30,000, very expensive but dun sa gym namin mag-invest ako dun, 4 thousand lang a month, or 2 thousand a month dun mo na ilabas ung anger mo, issues mo,” Geisler said.
Geisler insisted that it could work with anybody as it did to him. “Kung nagwork sa ‘kin, mas magwork sa iba.”
