Wazzup Pilipinas!

World Series of Fighting – Global Championship (WSOF-GC) is conducting an international ring girl search in Philippines. Their next global event will take place on July 30 at Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.

Interested contestants and aspiring models who are looking to compete in this fun and exciting competition to crown the next Official Decagon Girl of WSOF Global, should submit their application by emailing RINGGIRL@WSOF.ASIA(Contestants should include their contact details, recent photos, and links to all of their social media accounts).

Ten women will be selected to compete in an online competition where the fans vote for their favorite ring girl. The five women with the most votes will compete in a live ring girl contest at Araneta Center on July 23. The lucky winner will win Php 50,000 and represent Philippines at the biggest MMA event of 2016 in Manila. Four runners up will also win cash prizes and be selected to be the Global certified promotional models at the event.

“As a young woman, I competed in many beauty pageants here in the Philippines. I know that they can open doors for a lot of people,” relayed WSOF Global Owner, Dunesa Hesser. “My choice to be a modeling contestant led me into my current career path. I now have the opportunity to promote my own events and grant other women the opportunities that were given to me. Our events are aired all over the world and available in over a billion homes. This type of opportunity isn’t available every day. I hope I can find Philippines’ next top model.”
