TWO Guam-based mixed martial arts fighters and another Filipino will test the mettle of three Team Lakay fighters in the upcoming Pacific X-treme Combat (PXC) on August 20 at the Resorts World Manila.
The trio of Geje Eustaquio, Jasor Ablasi and Crisanto Pitpitunge are set to show their wares when the mix martial arts promotion set foot this month.
Team Lakay head coach Mark Sangiao, in an earlier interview, said the three are currently training alongside Universal Reality Combat championship welterweight champion Eduard Folayang and lightweight Honorio Banario.
Folayang is scheduled to return to the ring September outside the country while Banario will have his first title defense on August 21 in Davao.
“They have already started training and hopefully they win para mas lalong mapansin ang MMA,” said Sangiao.
Pitpitunge, who absorbed his first MMA loss last February, is set to try his skills against Guahan Top Team’s Alex Castro with a record of 8 wins and 8 loss in his career.
Eustaquio, meanwhile, is out to improve his record and earn his second win in MMA against Rogelio Plomeda from Deftac Bacolod with a record of one win and two losses while Jasor Ablasi will also seek his second win against Guamanian Kyle Aguon with a record of two wins and two losses tucked in his belt.
The PXC, the premier mixed martial arts promotional organization in the Pacific region, serves as a springboard for mixed martial arts fighters bidding to prove their worth in the United States.
Their first international foray in the Philippines aims to be the start of the organization's long-term goals to make PXC a significant event and add to its stable of international fighters.
