WITH barely a week to go, Team Lakay fighters Geje Eustaquio and Crisanto Pitpitunge eye stellar performances in the upcoming Pacific Xtreme Combat (PXC) 28 on November 26 at the Ynares Sports Center.
Scoring their first wins in the PXC 26 event held last August, Eustaquio and Pitpitunge are set to strut their wares anew in Guam’s biggest mix martial arts promotion.
“Both fighters will be good to go although hinahabol pa namin yung kondisyon ni Crisanto kasi he took a long break for his board exams in criminology,” said Team Lakay head coach Mark Sangiao.
Eustaquio knocked out cold Rogelito Plomeda at the 3:50 mark of round number two in their encounter, while Pitpitunge seemed to have lady luck on his side after Guam's Alex Castro incurred an injury and failed to continue after the opening round.
“Although medyo naghahabol si Crisanto sa training, kaya natin habulin yung kondisyon niya sa two weeks na hard training,” added Sangiao.
Pitpitunge, a BS Criminology graduate and at the same time taking up his masters at the University of the Cordilleras, will be pitted against upcoming Angelito Cimeni.
Eustaquio, also taking up his masters at UC, will square off against winless David Cho in the undercard which will be headlined by the two up and coming lightweight fighters in Asia, Jon Tuck versus Filipino lightweight prospect Tristan Arenal.
Incidentally, Tuck is the undefeated fighter to beat Eduard “The Landslide” Folayang via KO two years ago in Guam.
Pitpitunge will gun for his second win in his career with one loss, while Eustaquio eyes his third straight win in mix martial arts.
The two Baguio-based Team Lakay fighters will also be accompanied by another Cordilleran, Denver Labador of the Philippine Army in the undercard squaring off against Orlimer Cleste.
