Pacific X-Treme - Growing Fast

Pacific X-Treme Announce Some Impressive Figures

The guam based MMA organisation Pacific X-Treme Combat (PXC) have just released some impressive figures that demonstrate just how much MMA is growing in the Philippines.

Yes that is Big John!

Since the first Philippine PXC show (PXC 24) when they SOLD 700 tickets to the recent PXC 34 event which was held at the SMART Araneta Coliseum had 3,779 tickets SOLD.

A look at the shows between these two show a steady impressive climb in the numbers show on show. The total growth of tickets sales in just a year and a half is something north of 400% an incredible growth.

They of course also are shown on TV in the Philippines on AKTV. The first show the numbers were 187,603 viewers just eighteen months later  at the last show (PXC 34) the number was already an amazing 667,218. Something like 250% growth.

Of course it should not be forgotten that the last show (PXC 34) was also available on a stream outside of the Philippines on Sherdog.com. This would have helped further with the worldwide recognition of the brand as of course would the fact that at the recent UFC event in Macau PXC veteren Jon Tuck made a winning debut.

PXC are on the map in a big way.

PXC 34 - Asia's MMA Success Story

Pacific X-Treme 34 and Mark Striegl

The Smart Araneta Coliseum in Manila has history, big history, Muhammed Ali history, Thrilla in Manila history. And this was the first visit of fast rising Asian MMA organisation Pacific X-Treme who had outgrown their old venue.

The stadium was re-arranged and with the Stage and Screen in place the capacity was around 6000.

Pre-fight day the organisation had sold over 3000 tickets and on the night of the event a further 2000 plus turned up giving just over 5000 fans. This is first of all very impressive and secondly amazing when you consider the event was also screened live on TV on the Philippines and also to the rest of the world via Sherdog.com.

According to early reports from Neilsen Ratings - The peak viewing figure on AKTV reached an amazing 700,000.

Of course the crowd will only return if they are entertained and I think based upon this show they will be back for more.

I won't run through the whole event it's been covered in plenty of places and the videos are doing the rounds.

What I would like to say though is that PXC are really on the up and up this event was seen worldwide and prior to this the PXC had already proved to be a route through to the UFC.

One fighter I am sure the UFC are already watching must be Mark Striegl. prior to his fight with Harris Sarmiento  there seemed to be some question (certainly from the PXC commentary team) as to the legitimacy of his past opponents. Well Harris Sarmiento would wipe all that away in one fight. Sarmiento is just 29 years old and has an amazing 58 pro fights including in Strikeforce and he is still well up on the winning side. 

Well in 2:37 seconds Mark Striegl proved he is very much for real as he confidently tackled Sarmiento.

Sarmiento will be back he is a great fighter, but Striegl is a man on a mission and would not be stopped.

There can be no doubt that with the UFC coming more and more over to Asia there will be opportunities for this young man in the biggest organisation of them all, when he feels he is ready.

One thing about Mark Striegl compared with many in Asia is he is in the game for the long run. He does not want one losing fight in the UFC and to fade away, living on that for years, he wants to be a real success. Because of that fact he won't be in a hurry to move up. He has based himself in Baguio where he has a a great support. He also is a sponsors dream with his good looks and smart business attitude plus at the PXC he feels they understand and care for him and his needs.

He will build a real fan base in the Philippines, he will build on his film star good looks bringing more female fans into the sport and he will be big star in the Philippines and beyond. He has what it takes to raise the profile of Philippine MMA even further and already it's one of the hottest of hotbeds of MMA in Asia.

And Pacific X'Treme Combat to give it, it's will name will continue to grow into one of the worlds premier regional MMA organisations. With TV Coverage and Live Streaming they cannot fail.

What a Weekend of Fighting

So Fight Fans we have an action packed weekend ahead:

Here's some of the highlights:

Of course we have UFC 154 St Pierre Vs Condit - featuring the return of one of MMA's greats George St Pierre Article HERE

Bellator Fighting Championship 81

Bellator Fighting Championship 81 - You have to imagine with the birth of the World Series of Fighting that Bjorn Rebney will be responding by making sure Bellator is well placed to defend it's status as the second most popular MMA organisation in the world.

There are two Semi Finals fights in the Lightweight Competition:

Marcin Held (14-2-0) vs Rich Clementi (45-21-1) 

Ricardo Tirloni (15-2-0) vs Dave Jansen (17-2-0)

These two fights promise a hell of a lot of action as submission expert Held tackles veteren UFC warrior Clementi and Brazilian Tirloni faces American Jansen both Bellator veterans, this is going to be one tough fight to call.

If those were the only fights it would be worth watching but add the likes of:

Marlon Sandro (22-4-0) vs Dustin Neace (23-18-1) and Jonas Billstein (10-2-0) vs Perry Filkins (6-1-0) and you know it's going to be an action packed high quality event.


Our friends in Australia at K-Oz Entertainment in Perth

Are about to have their biggest show to date with title belts on the line and yes that is Tito Ortiz, he's is not fighting but he will be cage side.
 Here's the Fight Card:

Jesse Taylor is (22-9-0) and has fought all over the world vs Steven Kennedy (10-5-0) a familiar face on the Australia fightscene.

Dave Hulett is (20-10-0) and his last win was over Xavier Lucas who can be seen on the TUF Smashes.

K-Oz are building up a great series of events and in January will launch a tournament called Elimin8tor - an 8 man - 1 night tournament, 1 winner. Should be good!


And that's just the tip of the iceberg - there are shows alla round Europe, Brazil, Japan the fast fading star of Asian MMA will have Heat 25: 8-3-1 vs Debutant anybody? No thought not. America is loaded with a variety of shows.

But frankly is you gotta choose any of the four we have featured above will be a lot of fun.

PXC 34 - More News ~ On TV and Streamed Online

As Pacific X-Treme Combat prepares for their biggest ever show at Manila's SMART Araneta Coliseum. The fight card already looks like one of the best Asian MMA cards of the year and it's not even finished yet.
For the first time ever we also will be able to watch live on-line as PXC 34 will be streamed live. Plus of course an expected live TV audience of some 500,000 Philippine MMA fans on AKTV.

Here's the latest press release from PXC. 

PXC-34 FEATURES TOP PROSPECTS IN HAWAII VERSUS JAPAN 

MATCHUPS!

PXC-34, set to take place on November 17th, will feature 2 of the top MMA prospects from the Hawaiian Islands in the biggest fights of their young careers against dangerous Japanese MMA talent looking to make statements in their PXC debuts. Featherweight - Dustin Kimura, and Bantamweight – Russell Doane, will match up with veteran Shooto fighter, Guy Delumeau, and undefeated Michinori Tanaka, respectively, in front of thousands at the famed Araneta Coliseum in Manila, Philippines. PXC-34 will be broadcast live nation-wide in the Philippines on AKTV, as well as stream online for fans in Hawaii and Japan, as well as the rest of the world!

Kimura is undefeated in professional MMA competition (8-0), and is often talked about as the best Hawaiian fighter not currently in The UFC. In a recent interview in the US, Kimura stated, "I’m honored to be able to fight for an organization like PXC. They have a great roster of talent at my weight; I look forward to climbing the ladder starting in November." Kimura is a ground specialist, winning 5 of his 8 fights by submission and competes primarily as a Featherweight (145 pounds).

PXC-34 will be Kimura’s international debut, as he takes on Japan’s Guy Delumeau (16-7), an experienced fighter from the famed Gutsman Dojo in Tokyo who has made a name for himself in Shooto and Pancrase competition. According to Kimura, "Guy is a very tough fighter; he will be the most experienced fighter I’ve faced yet. I am training very hard for this fight and can’t wait to give the Philippines crowd a show!"

Bantamweight, Russell Doane (8-0), is also talked about as the best young Hawaiian prospects for the UFC, and is making his return to Manila after an impressive debut in PXC-33 on September 1st. Doane won a unanimous decision battle against Japan’s Masato Sannai, showcasing excellent striking skills, as well as powerful takedowns and control on the ground. Another victory in PXC-34 in November will make a strong argument for Doane to be considered as the top contender for the PXC Bantamweight belt!

Japan’s Michinori Tanaka also puts his undefeated record (5-0) on the line, with all wins in Shooto competition against other up and coming Japanese and Korean fighters. In his young career, his highlights include a victory in the 2011 Shooto Rookies Tournament Final. Tanaka trains at Reversal Gym Yokohama Ground Slam alongside some of the top stars of Shooto and Japanese MMA, and is expected to represent Japan as a major threat in the PXC Bantamweight division.

With 2 PXC fighters being signed to The UFC in the last 3 months, PXC showcases the best up-and-coming MMA talent in the Asia-Pacific region. These top prospects from Hawaii and Japan are definitely on the top of the list of “fighters to watch out for.”

PXC is presented by San Mig Strong Ice and Sports 5. With special thanks to E-Games, Fitness First, FHM Philippines, FHM.com.ph, Premiere Condoms, Healthway Agility Phil, Beer Below Zero, Real Sports Radio, and Loqal.ph.

Top Filipino MMA Fighters Headline PXC 34

Top Filipino Fighters Headline PXC 34

at SMART Araneta Coliseum - November 17th 2012

PXC, the region’s premier professional mixed martial arts promotion, has announced its biggest show to date to take place on November 17^th at the famous Araneta Coliseum in Manila, Philippines. 

Headlining the star-studded international fight card will be some of the best rising stars of MMA from the Philippines versus some of the best up-and-coming fighters from Hawaii, Guam, USA, & Japan. 

A long-awaited Title Fight between Erwin Tagle and the current PXC Flyweight Champion, Ale Cali, will be the Main Event. 

PXC-34 will also feature a Featherweight bout with veteran Harris Sarmiento taking on Mark Striegl, one of the top young MMA fighters in the Philippines, as well as a battle of undefeated Flyweights, as the explosive Jerome Wanawan takes on knock-out specialist Eugene Toquero. 

The event is expected to draw thousands of screaming MMA fans from all corners of the Philippines, and along with being broadcasted live nation-wide on AKTV via IBC13; PXC-34 will stream online for the world to experience as well!

Harris “The Hitman” Sarmiento (34-22), who also holds the PXC Lightweight Belt, is an extremely dangerous fighter at 145 pounds. He has fought at 4 different weight classes over his career against world-class fighters including Nick Diaz, Gilbert Melendes, and Max Holloway from the UFC & Strikeforce. 

His dominating performances in PXC over the last year put him back on the top of the rankings as one of the toughest pound-for-pound fighters in the region. Sarmiento resides and trains in Honolulu, Hawaii, with 808 Top Team, and is well-known as one of the best MMA fighters from the islands.

Sarmiento’s opponent, Mark “Mugen” Striegl, is a submission specialist who made his PXC debut with an impressive performance in September. Striegl is now 11-0, and trains with Fight Corps MMA in Baguio City. According to Striegl, “I'm very much looking forward to fighting Harris Sarmiento. Harris is a great fighter and this is going to be an explosive match-up. 

This is why I joined PXC, to fight guys that will drive me to be the best I can be.” After officiating his September bout in PXC-33, legendary MMA referee, Big John McCarthy, was quoted saying, “I wouldn’t be surprised if you saw Mark Striegl fighting in The UFC within a year.” 

Serious compliment from a serious MMA expert! Will this fight be a launching pad or a lesson for Striegl, or will Sarmiento prove that he deserves all the respect given to him, and perhaps another shot against some of the elite fighters of the world as a Featherweight?

Erwin Tagle is a local MMA star that has been instrumental in developing the sport in the Philippines. As head coach and trainer of Submission Sports Gym in Quezon City, Tagle has the support of his students and fans for this comeback to professional MMA. 

Since PXC launched in the Philippines, Tagle has been featured as a commentator and MMA expert on AKTV, but after witnessing Ale Cali’s performances defeating all 3 of his opponents on his way to winning the Flyweight Championship, Tagle decided to make his return to professional competition, and PXC match-makers immediately recognized his ability to be one of the top fighters from the Philippines, and gave him his title shot right away. 

“Erwin has paid his dues, and his reputation precedes him as a showman and excellent fighter. He absolutely deserves this opportunity, and we expect a great show,” said PXC VP/Match-Maker, Eli Monge.

Ale “The Young Gun” Cali has been one of the success stories of MMA in the Philippines. PXC’s Flyweight Champ was born to be a fighter. 

He started off as a boxer at the age of 10 and successfully won boxing gold medals for his city in Davao; 2002 and 2003 in the Mindanao Friendship Games in Cagayan de Oro City and Mati, Davao Oriental, respectively.

He also bagged several medals in the Abap National Youth Open Championships.

Faced with financial instabilities, Cali later on looked to make a bold move to Mixed Martial Arts. In 2008, he began training Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. 

However, he failed his MMA debut but it never slowed him down as he won his 4 succeeding fights, eventually becoming the PXC’s Undisputed Flyweight Champion.

He was set to face Philippine MMA Legend, Erwin Tagle last September 1 but was sidelined due to injuries. 

Now, in a couple of weeks, he will get a chance once more to face his toughest opponent to date. “I am nervous yet extremely excited to be in the PXC cage with one of our country’s best fighters, Erwin Tagle,” Cali exclaimed.  

The matchup between Wanawan and Toquero posts 2 undefeated Flyweights from 2 of the top gyms in the Philippines against each other. Wanawan represents Team Lakay for his second PXC bout, after putting on a show against Victor Torre in PXC-33, and Toquero, who trains alongside Erwin Tagle at Subsports, has displayed vicious elbow strikes during his first 3 knock-out performances in the PXC.

PXC 34 - It's Going To Be A Big Night

Further to our last post look what turned up on facebook, this poster.

Ali Cali (4-1) vs Erwin Tagle (1-1-2)

Harris Sarmiento (35-23) vs Marl Striegl (11- 0)

Eugene Toquero (3-0) vs Jerome Wanawan (3-0)

Holy crap! I mean that Sarmiento vs Stiegl bout is going to be something big - This will tell us one hell of a lot about where Mark Striegl really stands in the MMA worlds 145lb Division, a win here would surely move him up the ladder quite a few steps.

Not sure who Sarmiento is? Well he has in his amazing career having fought Nick Diaz, Roger Huerta and Gilbert Melendez to name a few and in a ten year professional career he has had 58 bouts!

If Striegl can do his usual tidy job and finish Sarmiento in regulation time many people will have to sit up and take notice and surely Striegls next step must be a championship bout.

PXC are taking the show to the Smart Araneta Coliseum this was necessary because all their previous shows have been sell outs. The Philippine fans it seems just cannot get enough of Pacific X-Treme Combat.

PXC SIGNS TOP HAWAIIAN MMA TALENT

Pacific X-Treme Press Release:

PXC SIGNS TOP HAWAIIAN MMA TALENT, UNDEFEATED, DUSTIN KIMURA

Pacific X-treme Combat (PXC), the premier MMA organization in the Asia-Pacific region, has announced a multi-fight deal with Dustin Kimura, one of the top young MMA prospects from Hawaii, starting with an appearance at PXC-34, set for November 17^th at the Araneta Coliseum in Manila, Philippines. Kimura is undefeated in professional MMA competition (8-0), and is often talked about as the best Hawaiian fighter not currently in the UFC.

In a recent interview in the US, Kimura stated, "I’m honored to be able to fight for an organization like PXC. They have a great roster of talent at my weight; I look forward to climbing the ladder starting in November."Kimura is a ground specialist, winning 5 of his 8 fights by submission and competes primarily at 145 pounds, an already stacked division in PXC, including Fil-Ams Mark Striegl and Harris Sarmiento, South Korea’s Jang Young Kim, and the current Featherweight Champ, Joe Taimanglo from Guam.

PXC-34 will be Kimura’s international debut, as he takes on Japan’s Guy Delumeau (16-7), an experienced fighter from the famed Gutsman Dojo in Tokyo who has made a name for himself in Shooto and Pancrase competition. According to Kimura, "Guy is a very tough fighter; he will be the most experienced fighter I’ve faced yet. I am training very hard for this fight and can’t wait to give the Philippines crowd a show!"

Kimura will join other PXC fighters reigning from the Hawaiian Islands, including the highly ranked and undefeated Bantamweight, Russell Doane (8-0), young Hilo Featherweight, Toby Misech (2-1), and veteran Harris Sarmiento (34-23). Sarmiento is currently the reigning PXC Lightweight Champ and has fought for PXC since early 2011 in the Featherweight class as well. Kimura, Doane, Misech, and Sarmiento are all slated to compete at PXC-34 in Manila on November 17^th.

According to PXC’s CEO & Promoter, E.J. Calvo, “The Hawaiian Islands produce some of the toughest MMA fighters in the world, and we have great relationships with the best camps in the state. We are excited to welcome Dustin Kimura to our roster of some of the top young fighters in the world.  All our fighters from Hawaii have UFC potential, and allow us to continue to match the best young talent in the region against each other and give our fans exactly what they are looking for.”

With 2 PXC fighters being signed to The UFC in the last 3 months, PXC has certainly established itself as a promotion giving opportunities to the best fighters in the Asia-Pacific region. In addition to the PXC live broadcast in the Philippines nationwide, PXC is expected to provide online streaming of its events as well.

PXC is presented by San Mig Strong Ice and Sports 5. With special thanks to E-Games, Fitness First, FHM Philippines, FHM.com.ph, Premiere Condoms, Healthway Agility Phil, Beer Below Zero, Real Sports Radio, and Loqal.ph.

PXC – Pacific X-treme Combat 31

If you wondered why ONE FC are heading to the Philippines soon, wonder no more. The Philippines is MMA crazy, it’s all over the TV over there and they have a couple of great MMA organizations: The URCC who have been established for 10 years and the foreign invader from Guam, Pacific X-treme (PXC). Both these shows attract lots of upcoming new fighters and plenty of good quality fighters and many screaming passionate local fans, both organizations send their successful fighters onto bigger International organisations.

You can check out some Filipino talent at PXC by watching this 9 fight card next weekend, July 14th at Ynares Sports Arena, Pasig, Philippines. The fight is headlined by the Bantamweight championship bout between Guam’s Justin Cruz and Filipino native Crisanto Pitpitunge.

Heres: The Fight Card

Jerry “The Destroyer” Legaspi (2-5) (Philippines) Vs Arex Montalban (no record) (Philippines)

Glen Ranillo (1-0)  (Philippines) Vs Macky Favis (no record) (Philippines)

Eugene Toquero (1-0) (Philippines) Vs Victor “Gladiator” Torre (6-0) (Philippines)

Torre is a URCC veteran with a stunning record of six fights, six wins all by submission and five of those finished in the first round. Toquero is going to have to be something a bit special to even hear the bell to finish round 1. Personally I think Torre is about to go 7-0.

Joseph Mercado (1-0) (Philippines)  Vs Troy Bantiag (1-0) (Philippines)

Rolando Gabriel Dy (0-1) (Philippine) Vs Alde Alonzo De Zosa (1-0) (Philippines)

Tristan Arenal (4-2) (USA) Vs Richie “Rich” Redman (2-1) (Philippines)

Alvin Cacdac (10-9)  (USA) Vs Rex Wa-O (0-1) (Philippines)

This seems a super strange match up. A very experienced but not great fighter against a not very experienced 0 -1 fighter.

Guzman “The Flashlight” Pia-Yas (no record) (Philippines) Vs Trevin Jones (2-1) (Guam)

PXC Bantanweight Title Bout

Justin “The Shocker” Cruz (18-4) (Guam)  Vs Crisanto “The Slugger” Pitpitunge (3-1) (Philippines)

The Shocker is on a four fight win streak although he has only had one fight in the past year. All four of those fights were via Unanimous Decision. The Slugger is the new kid on the block in comparison and has a three fight win streak. His only loss was to Mark “Mugen” Striegl (10-0) at URCC Baguio 3 which is no disgrace. He is from the famous Team Lakay (Baguio City)  This is an exciting match-up and should provide an exciting end to the evening.

PXC31 is presented by San Mig Strong Ice and Sports 5. Special thanks to Egames, Best Western F1 Hotel, Rogin E, Fitness First, Beer Below Zero, Premiere Condoms, FHM Philippines, FHM.com.ph, Healthway Agility Phil, Real Sports Radio, Loqal.ph. Tickets are available at SM Tickets and Ticketworld.

One of the great things about living in these modern times is how easy and cheap it is for organisations with the help of talented individuals to make frankly awesome videos

So below I have picked a few of the best recent ones starting with a quick video from Pacific X-Treme (PXC) Who do events in Guam and the Philippines and as you can see it’s quite the exciting organisation.

PXC Rev from Pacific X-treme Combat on Vimeo.

Next up we have a great piece of fan work – I found this thanks to mmashare.com and it’s a great Manga style film for UFC 144 (Japan)

The gang at middleeasy.com produced this absolutely brilliant review of ONE FC 2, Battle of Heroes, Jakarta.

I would say that ONE FC should take this and use it for their own. It’s such an amazingly well put together piece of work.

And finally and older one just because two of the people featured in it are fighting this weekend and most importantly because one of them is Sabastion (My Son) and he is fighting in the F3 event in Kuala Lumpur this weekend (Sabastion has just turned 16)  and Daniel Mashamaite will be fighting in SIngapore. at the Fighterzone event a kickboxing event.
