The who’s who of Macau’s VIP social and entertainment scenes…
The hot summer always makes us think of Asia’s coolest poolside extravaganza – SPLASH at the Hard Rock Hotel. Super model Jessica C was partying by the pool with American production and DJ duo Tritonal, one of the most electrifying acts in the international EDM scene, to spin alongside LA native Paris Blohm and sexy female DJ pair Kim Kat.
Multi-bout boxing is growing rapidly in Macau and we’ve seen a number of thrilling fight nights in recent months. Aside from the Thai Fight World Battle and The Champions of Gold, we also saw Macau’s inaugural white-collar boxing fight night “Mayhem in Macao” which marked the debut of this intriguing spectacle in Macau. We also witnessed the first ever women’s MMA match-up in Asia at UFC Fight Night Macao with Russia’s Milana Dudieva against American Elizabeth Phillips in a bantamweight (135 pound) fight. MMA is no longer just the domain of the men as its global audience grows!
